Thu 7 Aug – Ratatat
It was a great concert! It was much too hot in the club where Ratatat played and in the middle of the the concert the sound system suddenly lost power -- probably because they rocked so hard ;)
I saw them once before and the only complaints I have are:
1) during the first few songs the guitar wasn't clear/loud enough, but that got fixed soon
2) they didn't play El Pico :((( which would've been so awesome to hear live again
3) it was TOO HOT =)
The songs from the new album were great, too. They sounded almost exactly as I expected them to. Most of the songs from LP3 had more emphasize on rhythm and when all three of them were playing drums it was quite cool. Although I was surprised to see Mike hit the bongo with a whiskey bottle after someone had stolen one drum stick =D
Overall I'd say it was a bit different than when they played only their first two albums (then it was more like a one hour guitar solo, no rhythm-only parts) but it's still as good. …
