went to the Osheaga Music Fest for sunday' shows to celebrate! the festivals big headliner were the Smashing Pumpkins, and had performances by Damien Rice, Feist, Interpol, Macy Gray, Gotan Project, Explosions in the Sky, Santogold, Bloc Party, and a plethora of other bands. Amy Winehouse sadly missed out.
the weekend long event pass was steep, and between the two nights, sunday' lineup was easily won over by one particular showcase. i honestly did this fest just for this artist, and all the other shows were just BONUS. i did it for...
but first, we caught the Arctic Monkeys and enjoyed their set, but not as much as i enjoyed the female audience in attendance. :)
afterwards, Macy Gray performed, of which we were to skip and leave, but couldn't. she was awesome. great hype. tight band. she got me dancing. i'd so book her for a wedding or something of that nature. well played Macy Gray, well played.
to kill time before M.I.A. we checked out the rest of the fest (n did some intreprative dance), and caught a couple of songs of You Say Party! We Say Die! (pretty catchy) then we waited for Interpol while Gotan Project (chill) performed across the way. Interpol took too long and we left to grab a spot for M.I.A.
M.I.A. performed and definitely killed. no surprise. it was mad fun, til the crowd turned too rowdy. a lil fight broke out even, got squashed but that was a downer. that and the frign late comers cutting in front of an already packed crowd, come on now. whatever, Maya i love you, let's hold hands.
to end the night, Bloc Party closed the fest. cant go wrong with bloc party.
