What a great element for any festival, all festivals need a little bit of weathering heights too add that extra bit of conversation when asked “hey how was the festival”. Well the festival was great, gale force wind and all. What’s a festival without a bit of elemental love? So the first Lucky Fish kicked off and bands galore, the three stages parked right next to each other with easy access for festival goers to walk from one stage to the next without having to ‘traps’ for miles and miss an awesome band in the process. Thanks to you guys at Authentic Ideas.
So the bands were spectacular couldn’t quite put my finger on which band stuck out the most because that would be favouritism but I suppose I’m allowed to. Two bands that took me by surprise merely by the fact that I have never heard of them were Vortex and Enakskind, phenonemal stage performances and presence. So then my personal favourites are allowed right, right? Um yeah it is cos I can and I will, oh please do keep in mind I have no reference to dates or times it was a festival after all and hence there was no time just a continuum. Until home struck.
Memorable moments not in any spectacular order I assure you. This includes random quotes {ahhh where is the scrap book}
“I perform my best when I don’t take my blood pressure tablets “
s) A crazy percussionist jumping into the audience and the audience “pogo’ing” around him surreal crazy utterly amazing!!!
Kl) deftones covers making the crowd go crazy like that was cool to watch.
5) “it’s not me, it’s not you, we just don’t get along, lets break up”
