PRIMAVERA SOUND 2009 - DAY 2 IN PICTURES

Written by Greg Thrasher
Day 2 was a little more friendly on the ears compared to Day 1, that is until we headed into the auditorium for an hour of My Bloody Valentine. LOUDEST FUCKING THING I'VE EVER HEARD! A full-on auditory assault would be the nice way of describing it. Actually, come to think of it, Day 2 was really no different...the bands showed up and played their hearts out at maximum volume. I
'm still nursing a bruise on my hip from being slammed against the guard rail during Fucked Up's set, multiple times. Other highlights included blistering sets from Shellac, A Certain Ratio, Bat For Lashes, Magnolia Electric Co., Spiritualized, and Crystal Stilts (who are sounding better and better with every day)...oh yeah and some late-night dance party action which will remain semi-private.
Crystal Stilts
Vivian Girls

This looks so rad - loud, but definitely rad.
I saw MBV at the Roundhouse a few months ago and they one of the best live bands i've ever seen.

That's a cool interview with some genuine sounding dudes. The quotes attributed to them at the top are genius! [view article]

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
