Vodafone Paredes de Coura: and the third day there was rock – TVI24

Paredes de Coura, rock walls.

Be indie, psychedelic, “post” the subgenus is not important. Today was definitely a rock day at Vodafone Paredes de Coura: the primary and secondary stage spent nine bands that do their main instrument of guitars. steel strings have heard today in Taboão River beach without distractions or interruptions

Cage The Elephant, The Vaccines, King Gizzard & amp.; The Lizard Wizard, Crocodiles and Kevin Morby on the Vodafone stage, First Breath After Coma, Sean Riley & amp; The Slowriders, Psychic Ills and Jacco Gardner in Vodafone.FM stage. Nine concerts that do not seem disappointed to have the expectations of Paredes de Coura festival-goers and that certainly bucked the skeptics who thought the only highlight of the event was the LCD concert Soundsystem .

we start by Cage the Elephant – the last performance of the night – they knew from the outset, starting the concert. Before singing any subject, the American band called out to the public.

This is our favorite festival in the world. “

made phrase, or not, was a smart way to awaken the public again, which must still be stunned after the spectacle of the Vaccines. The audience responded well and returned the affection shown by vocalist just the beginning: have heard applause and whistles throughout the concert, in one way comparable with those seen yesterday on the LCD Soundsystem concert. In addition, the audience showed that he knew virtually all the themes of the band, showing enthusiasm soon so that they heard the first guitar chords that start most of the songs. Thus in “Spiderhead”, “Too Late to Say Goodbye” and “Cigarette Daydreams”, just to name a few.

On the side of the band, that even two years ago had been in this festival, the enthusiasm was also visible. Logo for the second theme, guitarist, Brad Shultz, went down along the bars to touch with the public, which embraced almost immediately. But the singer, Matthew Shultz did not stop one minute on stage, interpreting the subjects of running and jumping, a performance that reminded the style of Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.

A good concert that could match at the level of quality, the great spectacle that gave the the Vaccines. The British band Indie Rock came to present “Inglês Graffiti,” the latest work of original, released two years after his last pass for Paredes de Coura. Performance of which made reference, leaving praise for the festival, as did the Cage The Elephant.

We’ve been here three years ago and was one of our concerts preferred summer, “ said Justin Hayward-Young, lead singer of the band.

that was also the longest intervention band throughout the concert. Besides the occasional “thank you,” said the Portuguese, the The Vaccines not stopped ringing. Since “Handsome” – the first – through topics like “Ghost Town,” “Minimal Affection”, “Bad Mood”, “Melody Calling” to “Norgaard” – the last of the night – the British were able to put the audience to jumps and do crowd surfing like no other band had achieved so far in the third day. Although the King Gizzard & amp; The Lizard Wizard have been close.

The Australian band of psychedelic rock was the one that managed to fix in front of the stage, all the huge human frame that was seen at the end of Cage The Elephant. The group’s heavy guitars attracted festival-goers who were still loose in the natural amphitheater of Taboão River Beach and arrested us, but not to the ground, as was visible by the collective heels in front of the Vodafone stage.

More quiet – and the first more than the second – were the concerts of Kevin Morby and Crocodiles. The musician and the US band played before an amphitheater that was still filling up slowly, and before many festival-goers who still preferred to watch the sitting concerts. Two good shows for the evening and that served as a warm-up for what was coming.

On the second stage passed the two Portuguese bands of the day, the First Breath After Coma, who opened the concert of the third day and they came to present “Drifter”, original work the released this year, and Sean Riley & amp; The Slowriders. Of the latter it is worth highlighting the applause heard by far the Vodafone.FM stage on the theme “Dili”, which showed – those who had doubts. – That not only international bands have topics that appeal to a larger audience

at the same stage yet passed Psychic Ills, the American duo that brought Paredes de Coura “Inner Journey Out”, released this year, and the Dutchman Jacco Gardner, who came to present “Hypnophobia”, 2015.

in “After hours” format, also acted in Paredes de Coura the Portuguese musician Moullinex – that in the afternoon was the conversation with TVI24 – and, again, the the Vaccines this time for a DJ Set, ending a difficult day to overcome in terms of quality

This Saturday, the last day of Minho festival, there are other big names to watch:. the main stage will pass Chvrches , Portugal. The Man, The Tallest Man on Earth, Captain Fausto and The Last Internationale. You can keep track of everything that goes on Vodafone Paredes de Coura in our THE MINUTE, here.
