Midsummer's Night
As usual I have a number of things to say, but am putting them off until I feel up to it.
So for now, let me just tell you that last night I went to final day of the three concerts for European Music Day. This little music festival has been happening for a number of years now in a large number of european cities. Athens festival is nice enough, but it's not nearly as much for as the one in Paris that I went to for two years running. In Paris there are not only stages for professional groups, but on every street corner and every square you can find choirs and amateur groups making music. All kinds of music! And it lasts all night!
So yesterday I saw:
Dustbowl, who where very good. They played americana so well, we almost thought they were american.
Electric Litany, who I really really liked. They played the sort of atmospheric rock I love.
The Meanie Genies, who well where rather dull. They sounded like every other greek rock group.
The Boy, who really has gone a long way since I first saw him with Mary (as Mary and the Boy). I have heard him play dozens of times, and each time he's better than the last.
Burger Project, who where the headliners. They mostly do remakes of well known songs, but they are a tremendous amount of fun and one of the most danceable bands in Greece.
Everybody knows this song, right?
