Chronic SOS 4.8 2011: Saturday - Standstill fascinó un abarrotado auditorio.
- Lori Meyers y Chk Chk Chk grandes triunfadores de la noche.
Nuestro sábado comenzó mucho antes que de costumbre gracias a la estupendísima idea de acercar el festival al centro de la ciudad. Los catalanes
Mujeres ofrecieron un magnífico recital de garage-rock en una llenísima plaza de las flores. El ambiente que había en la zona ayudaba a olvidar la resaca y a ver la ciudad mucho más metida en el SOS. Sin duda uno de los aciertos de la organización este año.
Poco después de comer nos acercamos al recinto donde pudimos confirmar our suspicions: We were going to lose to Patti Smith, remained open hours for the concerts, but the infinite queue was several times the seating area of \u200b\u200bthe SOS Club, soon broke the tail, because they had sold out. Yes we could get tickets for the Room to Standstill.
Although the slot he was offered a DJ
Caribou was not the most accurate (What head came the idea of \u200b\u200boffering the day?) The fact is that the end of the Valencian
hitazos ElyElla and great Djs Snaith session were very nearly perfect. If Friday was a rise Manel increasing pace, Caribou got us a full and without question the essence of the festival. A session that fit all types of electronic dance from the most traditional to more eclectic, and where there were missing several of his own songs. Our curiosity was lengthened to the point of losing both Hello to the World as a White Lies.
Direct Room to Standstill by
and the addresses in the blood rush got to the auditorium and assumed full. Soon began one of the most beautiful scenes I've seen in a festival. Emotions perfectly transmitted audiovisual form an unforgettable and excellent concert.
We had heard much about the show ahead Bonaparte from the Primavera Sound 2010, and never before had been enjoy it in spite of our devotion to the band. During the Room thought several times that the few dollars it cost the festival were already written off this time and only half of music.
Our next stop also stepped back from what seemed logical because we were advised of a delay in Suede, and we tended to wait for the concert Chk Chk Chk
. Our Bilbi festivalero
is a phrase that clearly states that if! is in the lineup, you have to see!, this was no exception made us cross it off, we found a Nic Offer in shorts and camisilla that ate the stage from the first minute until American placed a light and it was released to the public on side. Non stop dancing for a single second the audience could enjoy most of his last album, although many they missed some past hits, went unnoticed by this parade of agitation.
Although the big winners of the day were the boys
Lori Meyers, who came to fill the stage Estrella Levante more than any other group in the festival in 2011 despite the late hour and managed to make over 30,000 people there were sung in chorus their songs from "When we reach the destination, but also the best of old records, something that surprised us pleasingly reminded us (save the huge masses of people) on our first experiences with them.
The last concert we saw of Lori Meyers was a bit ominous for the bad sound that limited the city of Valencia, but here demonstrated that they are so great live and in sales.
The stage, as it did in previous years with Franz Ferdinand became too small, and behind the tower of sound is not coming to enjoy the same intensity as it did on stage prqueño with Two Door Cinema Club, annual Crystal Castles previous. The limitations of the site are what they are, and here the festival would have to look one way better able to organize the scenarios, even if it means putting less people.
all the optimism we had Caribou, Standstill, Chk Chk Chk and Lori Meyers flew with Zombie Kids who sinned to hold the place they had in the lineup. Gave a dirty and disjointed range of subjects, which only satisfied the pupils dilated. We had the feeling that the Zombie Kids chatter and gave too little session for what we know of them. Yet we know the talent they have and hope that in future festivals offer more music and less drug-friendly show.
Then we realized one of the drawbacks of the festival, were not 3 AM and there was absolutely no alternative pop around the compound, in the SOS Club, Eme 2PiasDj and drew their most
LIBRARY zapatilleras cumbia, tropical and moombahton , and on stage there was only option Tiga and Zombie Kids and Crookers . It would not hurt the next year, the SOS Club DJs will leave the tiller handle to the wee hours, leaving the electronics when the big stage did not have this kind of musical choice. The idea of \u200b\u200blate Lori Meyers worked perfectly, and could have followed the party offering alterative of all kinds as was done on Friday Amable.
assume that the organization had little to do Djs as supply was quite pop, but if at 19h00 and electronic music was very difficult would be to lower the rate for subsequent djs.
Leaving the room with that feeling that tells you that you will return in 2012, tired of dancing whiplash, recognizing the successes and mistakes in mind surrounded by the festival's biggest mistake: Much of the public. Thinking
Saturday was almost full of hits and screaming that the festival had been at the height exceeded all our expectations.
