Week before friday past (the 15th), used up some overtime hours to take the day off. And clever me, I took the day off to work my part time gig ("catering" for special events). The venue was Lowlands (large open air concert), and I had to take the train there friday morning, leaving at 05:41. I worked 3 days of 0700-2000, and then got to take in some concerts after each day/on break.
Acts I caught while working the event:
-The Kooks
-Roisin Murphy
-Franz Ferdinand
-Underworld
-Sigur Rós
The highlight of the weekend for me was seeing Sigur Rós play.
-Jónsi (guitar/lead vocals) bowing his guitar
-5 piece brass ensemble - Apparently these guys have been touring with Sigur Rós for a bit, and this was one of (or) the last events that they're playing together for a while, them as well as the strings (which I think was Amiina).
-Cool snowy stage effect + lights
-One of the last numbers for the evening - If I had my laptop now, I'd be able to reference all the songs from my playlist, alas...
I tried to upload some video, but that was taking wayyyyy too long.
