So Saturday night came and we were off to the MTV weekend gigs further away from Barceloneta.. Neu Pau something... must check on that.. priority was getting there and enjoying ourselves! The best thing is also that entrance is free!
Before getting there stopped by C.A. who kindly invited us for drinks at his place! :)
A few sangrias after we were off (physically... but i think mentally too)...
We got there... somehow (the trains were buzzing with people.. we were like sardines - some people smelt like that too - in a tin can.. almost too literally)...
There were even more people on sight... So many stages to choose from! And they were all large stages. In Malta.. You could usually decide which stage to go to from the size. Depending on the occasion, if it´s large than it´s the best place to go.. or on others.. it´s probably where the more popular Freddy Portelli type of music is being played. Here they´re all just large.. MTV Isle, Malta large...
The whole atmosphere reminded me so badly of the band.. (ejja ha namel naqra reklam.. "Explicit" is the name.. www.myspace.com/explicitrockband is the site).. i used to play with. This nostalgia was further enforced as I watch a really good local (from BCN) band that had such a similar style... not to mention watch the drummer play.. wishing i could be in his play.. I was mentally drooling to lay hands on a pair of drumsticks and beating the hell out of a drum set!
Following this band, Cassius was next. It´s what we were waiting for. For those too young.. or too old to remember who Cassius are.. well shame on you.. it´s all i can say.. It´s a dance kind of music.. but their performance was so good, holistic, passionate and mostly raw with regards to instruments (i.e. very few electronic simulator gadget thingies).. that i really enjoyed it.. ALTHO it could have been the inevitable passive weed smoking! It was like we were surrounded by ETs... they could not survive on oxygen alone.. they´re life line was this weed filled air tank coming in a handy portable cigarette form.
Basically once we were home, I had to shower quickly and I was very close to setting my clothes on fire in an attempt to get rid of the weed smell.. but i´d have had probably needed to burn my nasal nerves too as the smell seemed to have settled up my nostrils too.
Needless to say next morning I woke up with one hell of a splitting headache! I´m sure it wasn´t the C.A.´s deliciously strong homemade sangria.. or the pint of beer we had afterwards.. or not?
Anyway at least there weren´t incidents similar to last week´s...
