Been some time since my last post (shame, shame) so i thought I’d explain why: Roskilde Festival!

Thanks to everyone at Camp Unknown for a great time, was fun meeting so many new people. For everyone’s interested, here’s a link to the Facebook Group page.  Even though the music olio has been criticized by many for the lack of blockbusting artists, i’d argument the selection was indeed very good. Many different genres we’re represented and i discovered a few great bands myself – some of them:

• MGMT (Kids + Time to Pretend + Electric Feel)
• Hot Chip (Ready for the Floor)
• Band of Horses (Is There a Ghost + The Funeral)
• Digitalism - Clubbing, hardcore!
• Slagsmålsklubben - Awesome Amiga/Nintendo retro-synth from these swedish guys
• However, there still was alot great bands i did’nt get to see/hear (either caused by drunkiness or laziness, who’s to blame)

The most favourable concerts were, in my opinion:

• Radiohead – Great use of screen effects and lightning, and with Karma Police for a sing-along ending, it went off beautifully (reactions from the audience here)
• The Streets – You gotta give it to him, the guy delivers. With the “everybody takes off their shirt and go low”, it was an awesome scene show)
• The Chemical Brothers – Full-blown party mood, with great effects and intense beats.
• Worth mentioning was also Hot Chip, MGMT and Band of Horses as written about above, great stuff..
• Do also check out Soundvenue’s all-in-one page for a summary

For everybody who have a hard time letting go, here’s some photos to accompany your memories + an moody clip from Soundvenue.

The drunken brawling, the candid openminded people, the extremely overpriced Nachos and, not to forget, the girls… Ughh – bring back the Orange Feeling!

By the way, video and photos from Tanzania (Kilimanjaro) is coming up – stay tuned..
