Heineken Open’er Festival 2010 @ Babie Doły, Gdynia – Day 4
Election day in Poland, Jack White returning to Open’er’s grounds (third time!), The Hives jumping all around, Fatboy Slim playing his shitty DJ Set again and the little kitten that was found in on of the trucks – that what the last day of my favorite festival was all about. But before all the fun, we voted (remember kids – it’s really important to do those things!). The whole day was just shooting things and asking people about the polls. Crazy stuff. Remember – if somehow you’ll have a chance to visit Fatboy Slim DJ’ing don’t ever do it or do have somebody to pay you for watching this kind of DJ crap. My grandma could do just as good at him… And as history repeats itself – in 2005, during my first Opener, I left in the middle of his set. This year I left after taking pics. If you wanted a DJ set that would be up to the standards you’d be rocking during 2Many Djs two days before. PS. Yup, I know… Somwhere in the galleries the 3rd day is missing. I’ll get back to it! Rest of the Heineken galleries can be seen here: first day, second day and some last year edition’s pics. (more…)
Archive @ Klub Studio, Kraków – 15 X 2009
I don’t recall the Studio club so packed..and I’ve been there on many occasions. I wasn’t aware of Archive‘s popularity in Poland until I saw the huge crowd in the club, and listened to the people who were on their Warsaw gig – a sold-out as well. They are a very nice mix of progressive rock, trip-hop and electronic – genres that always were and always will be popular here – so maybe that’s the answer? However, what a ordinary listener, like me, can say they are definitely great live!
The support for the night was BirdPen (a side project of one of Archive‘s musicians), a very decent band wit ha tragic lighting. The same goes for the main dish – but, of course, after the three first songs the lights got better. As usual…
Funny thing – the gig was supposed to start at 19.00, but when I entered the club at 18.30 the support was already playing. I think that’s the second time, the band started earlier than they were supposed to.
Also, there were rumours that the show’s gonna be cancelled because of the awful weather (Kraków experienced a heavy snowstorm the day earlier). Nothing of that kind!
