Second band of
the day were Black Trip, which I had the pleasure to share
stage with a few months ago. Just like then, they gives us a great
show, lining up high quality songs as if there was no tomorrow. They
deserved a way larger audience though, the majority of the festival
attenders must have chose some commercial garbage outside instead.
Too bad for them. (7.5/10)
Right after Black
Trip's vocalist Joseph Tholl left the stage, it wasn't long until he
had to get back up again to play guitar with Robert Pehrsson's
Humbucker. Impressive to pull of two shows in a row! RPH's
performance could be summed up as a bunch of qualified musicians
playing straight forward rock and having a good time for about an
hour, nothing more or less. (7/10)
The crowd grew
remarkably just in time for Blues Pills, who apparently must
have become quite successful. As their set commences, the reason why
is getting clear. A bit repetitious at some times, but at their best
they are truly amazing. (7.5/10)
Had to leave
their show a bit early though, to be able to catch every minute of
the almighty Hawkwind. Once again, an embarrassingly small
crowd, but this time it was a bit more expected. The band seems
totally untouched, just doing what they do best, and I'm worshipping
every single minute. The trio of Master Of The Universe, Angels Of
Death and Brainstorm (with Sonic Attack as intro) was just pure
euphoria, a feeling that even remained several hours after it was all
over. Best show of the festival, no doubt (9/10).
After such a
blast, the super fuzzy proto-punk/rock of Satan's Satyrs was a
perfect way to wind down. Nothing sensational, but a solid
performance and an original sound. The last in a line of great bands
at once another great festival in Gävle. (7/10).
