Primavera Twitter Digest 30th May

• In the massive auditori waiting for glen and marketa to start. This place is huge.
• Glen, marketa and band including graham hopkins are.. nice. Its all a bit too earnest though. Maybe it’s because i still haven’t seen once.
• Watching mv and ee at the atp stage from a patch of grass. Awful 70s jam band style. Sun shining though.
• The cribs are fucking awful.
• Queuing to get back into the auditori. Bill callahan this time.
• Bill callahan says- “i’ve been in my hotel room with a shotgun.” everyone claps.
• Sebadoh are on. I don’t get sebadoh. Apart from one single i bought years ago.
• Why? Seem to be lacking something. Yoni’s hand is in a cast and they had the longest sound check. Hope it picks up.
• Missed man man again!
• Seriously devo are amazing. Funny too. Someone book them for the picnic.
• Ok devo have officially blown my mind.
• The guy from devo is throwing bouncing balls!
• Fuck buttons = digital distortion + shouty distorted vocals + fuck yeh!
• Fuck buttons are really good but parts of it remind me so much of chris clark’s latest without the beat. It needs a banging element.
• Go! Team great festival band as always. Time for a whiskey and coke and a wait for el guincho by the vice stage. He’s got two projector screens.
• El guincho is rockin the home crowd. All his mates are here and the audience is massive.
• Beautiful. If you stay at the festival long enough the metro reopens to bring you home.
