Paredes de Coura

The best summer festival this year in Portugal, just ended in the beautiful Paredes de Coura (http://www.paredesdecoura.com) if you don’t believe it just take a look at the bands that performed there:

Monday (15th August): Sons and Daughters, Trailer Trash, Zig Zag Warriors

Tuesday (16th August): MXPX, Death from Above 1979 (the newspapers said it was an excellent concert), !!! (considered the best of the night), Kaiser Chiefs (the vocalist did so much exercise ;) that he twisted an ankle and continued the rest of the concert dancing but full of pain), The Bravery and Foo Fighters

Wednesday (17th August): The Future Heads, Hot Hot Heat, The Arcade Fire (some considered it the best concert of the whole festival some were expecting another thing, because many times a single doesn’t resume a band), The Roots, QOTSA and Pixies (for many fans the concert of the festival)

Thursday (18th August): The National, Killing Joke, Juliette and the Licks, Vincent Gallo and the great Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (I suppose from what I’ve heard the best concert of the day)

And me? I had to work, so I missed some more great bands this year…

But next weekend I’m going to have Franz Ferdinand and Bunnyranch so let’s rock n’ roll!!! And on the 20th of November Sigur Rós and Jonh Cale on the 5th of October!
