TIWIAE @ SPOT day 2

(Lise Westzynthius at SPOT 2008)

This year's SPOT festival has received some criticism for not being more focused on the up-and-coming underground bands that need (and deserve) some attention, but from a spectators view friday's line-up was pretty outstanding. And since the three of us spends all our waking hours at the festival we don't really have much time to blog about it, but here are some links to a few of the artists we enjoyed the most yesterday.

Lise Westzynthius (heartfelt and fragile performance from one of Denmark's greatest female songwriters)

Figurines (not surprisingly a solid show)

SMALL (very promising noise-pop act, My Bloody Valentine in bed with Mew)

Salem Al Fakir (Great performance from this swedish guy, a young Stewie Wonder?)

Spejderrobot (Electronica at its best)

Efterklang (friday's last show, ending in a standing ovation from the otherwise seated audience)
