it’s officially Truthpaste day! yayyyy!! been a long time coming seeing these but finally getting the chance! I’m not actually sure how long their set will be they only have like 6 songs out, but I’m sure they’ll have unreleased material.
The support is my brothers friend which I think is quite the coincidence! He’s this very talented violinist and I think a group of them are doing this nice strings arrangement thingy which will be cool!
talking of my brother, Monks are doing a DJ set in another part of Liverpool to release their new song for tomorrow, but unfortunately it’s basically gonna be at the same time as the gig, but I’m gonna try and catch the end of the set after my gig, pop my head in and then probs have to leave. so that’s my evening plans!
Primavera day 1
Acts seen in order:
Blood Orange, Geese, Oklou, Father John Misty, 2Hollis, Melt-Banana, Fcukers, BenUFO, Six Sex, ¥ØUUK€ ¥UK1MATU
Highlights:
- Doing some MD and finally getting to see Geese after everything, latched onto to some Spanish fellas and pushed right to the front, was insanely fun and I had a great view of the glorious Cameron Winter, was so atmospheric with the rain coming down
- Seeing Fcukers at 3am after staying vigilant in the rain for hours, warmed me right up as I was so wet and fucking freezing but best believe I was going crazy for some Fcukers
- My biggest surprise was Six Sex she was so good, crazy energy for 5am, and it was quite funny how due to the rain, the only people who stayed that long were the Spanish people and some English, the crowd was still super lively though
guess who I’m seeing laterrrr… the one and only Smerz! got tickets for me and brother for his Christmas present all those months ago and it’s finally time! Funny story about these guys, I was in a pub a few months back and went to the bar to get a drink and this Norwegian man just started chatting to me, after like 20 mins of talking to this random man at the bar I said I like the Norwegian duo Smerz, he was confused and didn’t know who they were and I showed him a picture and then it was like a eureka moment, he instantly went ohhhh Smerz! and proceeded to tell me how I was saying it was wrong it’s pronounced more like Smurts or Smairtz, so I got a lesson in Norwegian pronunciation. but then he whipped out this little fun fact for me, he told me that one of the girls in the duo is daughter of the minister of finance of Norway! he’s also held the position of prime minister of Norway at some point AND was secretary general of NATO??
