It was an awesome weekend.
On Friday we arrived pretty late, at about 8 o'clock, so i missed a few things but really enjoyed Phillip Jeck and Tim Hecker (some moments of his set sounded nearly identical to some Pita "songs" though).
Saturday started great with Flower/Corsano followed by Bardo Pond. They were much better than the first time I have seen them, although that waiting for jesus song still irritates me.
Dead C sounded kind of lost sometimes but all in all i think it was a good show.
And then the Borbetomagus show.... and it was, well, just awesome, really intense.
As it always is with The Ex live, they fucking rock. I hardly ever listen to them on record but they are one of my favourite live acts for sure.
Unfortunately, on Sunday i woke up feeling sick, fevered and exhausted. It was ok during the Francisco Lopez performance, which by the way was quite awesome, but the really crowded stages with heat, carpets and that hot dog, popcorn smell were too much this day.
So, for Haino and Country Teasers and Emeralds i could only really enjoy about 15 minutes each before falling into coma.
The trip home Sunday night was the real nightmare before christmas.
