Deathside Posted 20 August 2005 Posted 20 August 2005 In a thread elsewhere I mentioned going to The Pukkelpop Festival for one night - So here's my review of the bands I saw: The Hives - Entertaining as always but didn't play enough of their older (better) songs Coheed & Cambria - Only got there for the end of their set and saw 1 minute of guitar wanking and some big (afro) hair - Very disappointing The Bravery - Watched 2 songs and was very bored and so wondered off to the bar Franz Ferdinand - I was hanging out with some friendly people from Norway at a bar near the main stage when FF were playing - So they were just background music - And I think that sums up their performance perfectly Blood Brothers - Heard them from a distance as I was wondering around - Screamed vocals caught my attention so I went to the stage to see who it was - When I got there I found / heard nothing to make me stay - And so I wondered off again Amplifier - Never heard of them before but went to check 'em out as they were high on the bill on the Skate Stage - They were quite interesting but not quite my thing - So I stayed for 4 or 5 songs and wondered back to the bar by the main stage to see if my new chums were still there Basement Jaxx - OK so I'd turned into my alter ego (DrunkPunk) by now but I have to say they were bloody brillient - They included a mad cover (White Stripes I think - memory hazy ) And as an added bonus Lisa from The Bellrays was part of their lineup No Use For A Name - Excellent - Fantastic way to end the night Some disappointments though Missing Social Distortion - They played main stage in the afternoon Not being able to go on Friday - Lineup included Alkaline Trio & Bad Religion - Then again I'll see them both at Leeds next weekend
Mark Posted 20 August 2005 Posted 20 August 2005 Some good bands there. Co&Ca and The Blood Brothers are awesome. No Use For a Name are indeed fantastic.. lucky you catching them live, i hope they finished with the Redemption Song

Who ate all the pies? Posted 24 August 2005 Posted 24 August 2005 I did the entire Pukkelpop festival it was pretty damn fine Highlights for me were !!! Goldfrapp - absoutlely amaxzing Polyphonic spree - honestly amazing live GLC - HRT made me laugh my ass off Hives - made me laugh Nick Cave and the Bad seeds The Infadels Disapointments Prodigy - just weren't at the races Franz Ferdinand - I just don't understand the hype Magic Numbers - ditto Nine Black Alps - they believe in their own hype way too much! The Datsuns - honestly shockingly bad! Julliette & the Licks - they suck! I only got back yesterday as I sepent two nights in Brussels, nice city but expensive!
Deathside Posted 24 August 2005 Author Posted 24 August 2005 I did the entire Pukkelpop festival 162349[/snapback] And ya didn't even say hello Did the campsite get flooded? - It was pÃÂssing it down on Friday when I began my journey home (I was told that's a bit of a history of the site being flooded)
Who ate all the pies? Posted 24 August 2005 Posted 24 August 2005 If I'd have seen ya I would have said hi! No it got a bit soggy by the end but the good weather on Thuraday dried everything up so when it rained Friday it didn't get too bad. To be fair I could bairly see early doors on the Thursday as I was so hungover, I got there on Wednesday and started drinking early then the hot weather kicked in an I felt shocking!

Deathside Posted 24 August 2005 Author Posted 24 August 2005 Brussels?...Expensive?... Hardly, when compared with the other capitals... 162513[/snapback] How many capitals does Belgium have?
Who ate all the pies? Posted 24 August 2005 Posted 24 August 2005 when I say expensive I mean English prices! And I've been to other capitals (in the world not in Belgium) and it still seems a bit more expensive than I would have thought. Not London prices I'll admit but not that far off an average English City and England is meant to be expensive!
