Thu 3 Jul – Rock Werchter

ROCK WERCHTER 2008 – THE REVIEW
Or, “Hebt ge al slag gehad vandaag?”

DAY 1

Air Traffic – 7
Having heard very little of Air Traffic I was very impressed with the performance they put across. A great start to a great festival.
Standout Tune – Shooting Star

Vampire Weekend – 8
And if Air Traffic had impressed me, the reaction that Vampire Weekend got from the crowd stunned both me and them. They have got some awesome tunes and they certainly know how to play them live. The first of many awesome performances…

Tue 29 Jan – The Courteeners

Vincent Vincent and the Villains deserve to be big though.
And the crowd and bouncers were a bit narky.
Other than that, I was very pleasantly suprised…

Mon 28 Jan – Art Brut, A Human

First things first, the support from A Human was very good, not a leading band by any stretch but they were certainly more than adequate, theircover of A Horse With No Name in particular went down well. Lively front man and I reckon they have a future ahead of them in the underground at least.

And so on to the mist shrouded, mystery coated headline band, Art Brut. I say this because whoever was on the dry ice machine seems to have sat on it and forgotten about it, as such, there…
