Groove Armada – wspomnienia z Open'era

Tak oto na blogu opisuje swoje wspomnienia z Open’era wokalistka grupy Groove Armada

[…] Apart from the current debacle, Open’er was actually fabulous. It was quite strange going on after Pearl Jam and we expected to receive a muted grunge-based reception at first, but as soon as our intro music began, I looked out to a sea of tens of thousands of hands in the air, clapping along. By the second tune, there was already a steady stream of people crowd surfing to the front and being pulled out, which carried on for the entire gig.

It’s a beautiful thing to be in countries all over the world where audiences break the language barrier by singing along to the tunes, even new ones, particularly ‘Paper Romance’, and Poland didn’t disappoint, screaming along in unison.

Also - I think I mentioned this when we were in Warsaw late last year, but Polish kids are waaaay cool. Style wise, we should look to them and see what they got. Walking around the site earlier to check out the Yeasayer set, surrounded by beautiful, thin, doe eyed kids in apocalyptic chic, black kohl and ironic undercuts, I felt like a complete tramp. A fashion Philistine, a Haute-Couture heathen, a LOSER. I had to scuttle backstage hiding my ten-quid-glasto-sunglasses horror and binge on the sushi rider (good name for a band).

Ah well, I didn’t see anyone there with a black latex batsuit on, so there. Na Zdrowie!
