Festival season is upon us! Bonnaroo kicked off in Manchester, TN yesterday and I'm reminded of my journey to the great fields a few years back - screaming "BONAGOOO" in the muddy puddles by the clogged porter potties, seeing single shoes abandoned in the dirt and filth and hippies twirling fire sticks and throwing frisbees happily rolling on hallucenigenic mushrooms.
But I'm in Greece now and out of pure luck there are some amazing music festivals while I'm in town. This weekend I will be going to the Synch Festival at the Technolopolis - there's four stages of music promising the best of innovative electronica, new media and technology. The line up is sick and includes the Matthew Herbert Orchestra, The Bug, Squarepusher, Friendly Fires, a DJ set from a member of Hot Chip, New Young Pony Club and much much more!!! I thought i would only want to be in Athens for a day but with this festival we're here for 4!
And maybe coming back on the 19th for this: The Ejekt Festival comes to the Elliniko Exhibition Centre from June 18 and 19 and features the Pixies, Editors, Starsailor, White Lies, Lauryn Hill, Royksopp, Jarvis Cocker, Klaxons, The Subways, 2ManyDjs and James Lavelle. -- That shit speaks for itself!!!
Videos and updates to come...Oh, and since I'm in Europe it's all I can do to try to get to Glastonbury next week but really I'm traveling on a dime so that's a pipe dream!
