The first in a series of live music show posters released after the actual show took place. Ever wanted a poster for a music band performing in a music festival without having to hang on your walls all the bands name, or the official (ugly?) music festival poster?
A absolutely non official series of posters to download as a pdf file and print yourself.
After the opening night instrumental show, Beastie Boys performed the first night at Sonar, on June 15th, with their regular show.
A much more crowded audience attended, as the night was part of the Sonar abono, and everybody was happy enough to listen to the band classics. In my personal opinion this second Beastie gig was less interesting than the first show, Adam Horowitz looked to have a cold and the overall stage performance suffered a bit.
Beastie Boys opened Sonar 2007 on Thursday, June the 14th, with an instrumental show performing songs from their brand new album, The Mix Up.
The full line up comprehended: Michael Diamond (aka Mike D), Adam Yauch (aka MCA), Adam Horovitz (aka King Ad-Rock), Michael Schwartz (aka Mix Master Mike), Mark Ramos-Nishita (aka Money Mark), and Alfredo Ortiz. The set saw the Beasties playing guitar, bass guitar, and drums (plus the whole keyboards hardware) in an excellent show despite all the efforts from the stage technicians to mess things up.
Again, as a music show is not only a band on stage, part of the audience missed the meaning of the gig and pretended to hear Sabotage. As Horowitz said, come back tomorrow, same place, same hour.
Sonic Youth played at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival last Saturday the 2nd of June. As part of the ATP's Don't look back series, Sonic Youth performed Daydream Nation, their 1988 album. Possibly their best album. With no doubts one of the most important music album of the last 20 years.
Patti Smith performed at Primavera Sound, in Barcelona Spain, the 2nd of June. Find here pictures taken at the show, I've used a Canon EOS 30D, with a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.
Modest performed at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain, Friday 1st of June. The band lined up singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, former The Smiths Johnny Marr, bassist/keyboard Tom Peloso, Eric Judy wasn't there (the guy apparently went MIA just before the tour started), Tom Peloso, and drummer Jeremiah Green.
The show presented the brand new Modest Mouse album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, as well as songs from their repertoire. Lead singer Isaac Brock showed up with a fresh blue eye, results of a close encounter of something solid (presumably a fist).
Blonde Readhead performed live at Primavera Sound festival on Friday 1st June. The band composed by brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace, and Kazu Makino presented their brand new album, 23, as well as songs from earlier works.
White Stripes performed live at Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain, on Thursday the 31st. The Whites show presented their new album, Icky Thump. The gig was the band only show in Spain.
Saturday night's the night, Sonic Youth performing Daydream Nation at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Spain.
Stealing Barry Hogan's words (the guy behind the ATP festival): I always dreamed to see Sonic Youth performing Daydream Nation. After more than 30 Sonic Youth gigs attended, in France (Paris, Lyon, Nancy), Switzerland (Geneve), Italy (Turin, Milan), UK (London), Netherlands (Amsterdam) and USA (New York), now the (day)dream became true.
