We've got the whole of Sonic Youth's show on two cameras. Left and right balcony. It's a nice venue with great vantage points. Thurston's first words after
Candle were "Good evening ladies and germs".
The set was shorter than planned, and there were a couple of irritating groupies getting on the stage trying to hug and kiss Thurston. He refused their affection and was restled to the ground in the process. He had a good laugh though.
Some guy wiped out terribly, when he dived of the stage and the crowd moved out of the way.
Kim danced her ass off as usual, and I think I saw Coco on the right side of the podium behind the curtains... Not sure though.
First time I've seen DAU. They were all great, but Corsano! Wow!
I got the first 40 minute part of DAU, before my tape ran out.
The crowd was very annoying indeed. Talking all the way through the set. Some idiot threw a plastic cup at Thurston for no reason at all. It missed him but people that were standing around were like; WTF?!?
I managed to see:
Masonic Youth: Wierd masked doomers doing some kind of drone noise with a vibrating dildo on a scratch pad.
Danielson: Not my kind of music.
Julie Mittens: Really impressed! They're surely the loadest Dutch band I've ever seen. Thanks for the tip Nefeli.
Sonic Youth: Great show, but I wish they had done some 20 min feedback stuff.
Dream Aktion Unit: My favorite of the evening.
Mono: Brilliant! Bought the 2xLP coloured vinyl after the show.
I missed
No Neck Blues Band, My Cat is an Alien. Damn!
The only boardie I met was rappard. Thanks for keeping a nice spot for me to film.
ps: Oh, I think that I saw pokkeherrie in the crowd, and I stood next to king_buzzo on the right side of the stage at DAU. He took a nice photo of Thurstons pedals, which I'm sure he'll post soon.
All in all, it was a great evening except for a few annoying stuckup indie twats.
