Who doesn’t love live music? It’s awesome
It’s become a bit of an annual thing really. Whenever these three are at WOMAD some sort of live open mic thing must be done. It’s always fun and it always involves me doing some kind of electronic thing. This time on my iPhone and also on a Kaossilator 2 as well.
I enjoyed it anyway.
Little local festivals can be a load of fun. Just like this one was the other week. A lovely sunny weekend (mostly) and some nice music (mostly). What could be better?
I’ve been meaning to post this video for ages now. I thought that Sculpture gave one of the most interesting performances I’ve seen in a long time. It was inventive and mesmerizing and I really hope I get the opportunity of seeing them again.
Once again they were awesome live. I’d expect nothing less though.
I had never seen this band before, but was completely blown away by their sound and visuals. I managed to record a little video of them live and I’ll put it up soon, but it was amazing.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this gig, but it was actually immensely good fun. I knew a lot more of the songs than I thought I would do and the atmosphere was fantastic, as was the venue.
Just some pictures from last night.
I go to this every year, or at least I do my best to, and it never fails to please on so many levels. Firstly there’s the music, which is probably my main reason for going. There’s three stages, a main stage, a cafe stage and a performing arts marquee. The main stage is ok, I did see one thing that I liked on it this year, which was a band using repurposed tech like guitar hero controllers to make some fairly enjoyable lofi music.
The music cafe had mainly a mix of folk and blue which was really nice, and great to see a hurdy-gurdy on stage in one of the bands. In fact there were quite a lot of acts on here that I enjoyed listening to. Nothing that I’d probably go out of my way to seek out, but very pleasant listening nonetheless.
Lastly there was the performing arts stage. There were a few things on this that I really liked and a couple that I intend to seek out when I have some time.
So, overall in terms of music it was a really useful, enjoyable, and left me with one or two things to follow up on. But that wasn’t the end of the day.
But I’ll save that for another post.
And a tour too! How lovely. I’m looking forward to that. Ok, it’s a remake of their very first album, but that’s ok. It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve made of it after all this time.
I saw this chap play this track on Saturday, and it was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
