Thu 2 Apr – M83, The Dø
Holy fucking shit The Dø blew away pretty much every other band in the entire world except for probably The Flaming Lips. OK maybe thats a little hyperbolic, but they were amazing, and totally different to what I had expected. I love A Mouthful and had often fantasised about seeing it live, thinking it would be a sleepy, summery affair... Instead, live The Dø are an immense three piece, with as Kaz put it -- a saucy girl who feigns shyness as opposed the other way around, which is incredibly hot.
But the real winner here were the fans. Virtually all of the songs were spectacularly rearranged, one (but just one) of the highlights being a rousing and rocky version of
The Bridge Is Broken which had a wicked electro-rap interlude in the bridge to Queen Dot Kong, and then back again...
Simply stunning. Their drummer was phenomenal. So was their roadie. The Dø warmed so many cockles i will be amazed if there is a single chilled one left anywhere in the world. …
