A classic hardcore spot. River Teg in Umeå.

By the way, Refused is playing this year again after 15 years. I’m a bit pissed off as they are playing again in general. But even more that I won’t be in Europe these days.

The Fluff Fest 2010

Leeway has been one of my top band since I heard their tunes 10 years ago or so.

I love music so much, and I have already seen live probably more than 75% of bands which I listen daily (and trust me, i do listen a lot). Regarding Leeway, unfortunately, they were active till 1996 so I was 11 then.

In 2006 I was hitch-hiking to Scotland. One day on my trip, someone dropped me off next to the Heathrow Airport in London. I just jumped down from the truck’s stairs and heard a familiar voice “Hey Bart!”. It was Paweł aka Kargul who somehow worked those days next to the place where the truck stopped. Paweł asked me what I was doing there and I just said that I’m going to Scotland and I’m in the middle of the way. He said that Leeway is playing in London that night.

You can imagine the rest of the story. I went to Camden, spent almost all my money for a trip to buy a ticket and some food (it wasn’t that expensive, I was just out of any money). The show was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Check the video below. I believe it was recorded in 1995 as they released this album that year.

Good vibe. Good tunes.

PS. On the picture below is Mike Gibbon the Leeway’s guitarist. 4 years after the picture was taken they recorded they first album.

The picture downloaded from the Mike Gibbon website.

Enjoy the video!

PS. I’d recommend to watch it in full screen.

As usual, my camera accompanied with me and I decided to make a small photostory about another band on tour (you can check out photos of the portuguese Adorno on similiar situation here).

This trip in 3 points was:
tons of tasty food, stupid jokes and rock’n'roll!

I’ve decided to keep you informed about updates on my parallel website with a music photography.
So this is a preview of my today’s update!

Check it out! Bust!

There were like 200-250 kids there and I was completely suprised. Noone was complaining! The gig was nice but then I realized the reason why the show was so early. Benfica and Sporting were playing at 7 pm and show booker wanted to allow people to go and support their football teams. That was something really amazing for me, how people can schedule their time with football priority. Well, Portuguese can! This is what I can call a commitment.

And the funny thing was, that right after a match was finished, the second show was started!

PS. Even if I support Sporting Lisboa, they lost the game..
PPS. For more pictures from shows check out my website – http://www.allxages.com
PPPS. Shortly, you can expect an essay about portuguese football…
