The first Rocking Days of Roskilde
The first Night was a Thursday. The biggest highlight for most that day was Radiohead on the mainstage. But I fully in
tended to see everything else, and as much as I could. Trying to squeeze in The Dø, Lupe Fiasco (quite good), and than catching a couple songs at Radiohead went and saw a proper Rock act from Sweden.
Friday was one of my big days. I had every intention of catching Gnarls Barkley. So after catuching a couple quick acts here and there, I made a beeline for the queue for
Gnarls Barkley and waited.
It was splendid. Although, admittedly, the smaller bands and tents were much more exciting and less overwhelming. None of those pictures really turned out. (this is someone's who is taller than me. But I was closer)
Shortly after that I got stuck in one tent watching a bevy of bands (smaller ones. Only one that I had actually planned on seeing) THere are 7 tents in the music area. Moving around a whole bunch gets tiresome if you have to stand listening to the music from 12 to 3am. First: A Kid Hereafter (dk), followed by Seasick Steve (us) who was rockin out blues, "combined with a voice that could make even the galvanized festival fences rust."
After Seasick Steve was Holy F**k(can), who were a bit electronic, but quite exciting to watch as they mixed their music so closely.
One of the guys using sound tapes that he runs through either slow or fast at times to create a whole nother level to the music.
By then it was late. So i took in music here and there, sampling through movement as I made my way from tent to tent to finally simply leave and go to bed, and start again in the morning.
