Primavera Sound 2008 Barcelona



Hi

I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow. They have this amazing indie festival called Primavera Sound there. I was there last year too and it was just fantastic. 2007 program was awesome and this year's line up is no exception. Actually there are so many great bands that you can't simply see them all. Like this year Cat Power and A Place to Bury Strangers are playing at the same time in different venues. Oh, and Les Savy Fav and Tindersticks too.

Anyways I wanna/gonna see these bands:

MGMT
NOTWIST
BRITISH SEA POWER
PORTISHEAD
EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY
VAMPIRE WEEKEND
PISSED JEANS
MARY ONETTES
BILL CALLAHAN
SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE
THE SONICS
SEBADOH
MAN MAN
DEVO
A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS
BON IVER
OKKERVIL RIVER
LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION
DIRTY PROJECTORS
STEPHEN MALKMUS
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
DEERHUNTER
DINOSAUR JR
LES SAVY FAV
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE


I'm very excited to see Explosions in the Sky, cause I love their music and they cancelled last year. A Place to Bury Strangers is one of my favourite bands at the moment and I'm sure they are gonna blow my mind.

Les Savy Fav was absolutely incredible! Go see this band if they play near you!

Man Man was wicked too. Too bad I didn't see the end of the show. I heard that the singer jumped to the sea..

Explosions in the Sky was even a bit better that i expected. It was very intense, very loud and very beautiful. Love those dudes.

Bon Iver was just amazing. Oh my god he sounded awesome!

Portishead gig at the Rockdeluxe stage was also great. The sound was perfect, band was great and Beth sang like an angel.

A Place to Bury Strangers was a big disappointment. They were way too loud and the sound was shite. How about turning it down just a notch?

Cat Power was the biggest disappointment ever. What fuck has happened to Chan? I thought I was watching a bad Blues Brothers cover band or something. Horrible.
