BFD 2006
yay for music festivals!
and this one was quite good, though most people would probably punch my friend eryn and i if they knew that we left before the 2 main acts - the ho-hum Strokes and the mildly annoying AFI.
Honestly, I paid $65 to see She Wants Revenge, and they sure did deliver. Give me more material, a solo show, and more Justin and Adam and I will be one happy little girl. Justin and his poses are priceless.
I was happily suprised by The Sounds - that swedish chick can croon and she does some interesting things on the stage. Of course, not as interesting as Karen of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs…though the sound left a lot to be desired as did the small amount of space I was forced to survive in during the set due to twig like high school girls and their much too old and dirty boyfriends. Echo and the Bunnymen were cool to see, but not super impressive. Excessively long sausage lines caused us to miss Every Move a Picture. But Franz Ferdinand walked past us while we were waiting for our brats, complete with their little screaming fans waiting for them at the backstage gate.
BFD, while delivering on its name, is also a great f’ing deal. We left happy, tired, and ready for next year’s.
