Lowlands 2007

With 4days3hours7mins idle time on IRC I returned last Monday from a Campingflight to Lowlands paradise 2007. Having been there for the fifth time in a row, this year I also enjoyed myself very much despite the crappy line-up. We'd love to see much more punk and metal bands, which seem to be on the decline at this festival. Anyway, we made loads of fun on the festival terrain and did see some of the bands: Heideroosjes, Madcaddies, Editors (partly, I think it was kinda boring because I don't remember what they played), Kasabian (partly, and from the outside while chatting), Eagles of Death Metal, The Killers (partly, because it was boring), Brand New (these guys have an identity crisis or something, seriously, such crap), Games in Concert (partly, this was quite cool: a big Dutch orchestra playing music from video games), The Rifles, Turbonegro, The View, Interpol (this concert, was really, really good; superb sound and lightshow), Kaiser Chiefs (a big contrast, boring music, bad vocals, annoying light show), Balkanbeatz/Russendisko (this is awesome party music), Funeral for a Friend (partly, really as bad as the name), The Answer, Nine Inch Nails (partly, not my kind of music, but the sound blowed people out of the tent), Motörhead (sat outside and enjoyed), Arcade Fire (partly, scarily happy people), Tool (which was just way too awesome). So that's it, I guess we should go again next year if they manage to get a better line-up ;) Oh oh oh, and before I went to GUADEC and vacation and Lowlands this year I finally saw Me First and the Gimme Gimmes! Awesome band, really. (more blog entries later since I am a bit behind).
