Summer's Still Here! Edge of the World Music Festival!! Facebook!!!

Edge of the World Music Festival

Summertime has just kept rolling along here on Haida Gwaii. Today's the first day, that is somewhat blah...hence the first post in a while! Hence!!!

Went to Edge of the World Music Festival and had a fun time. Took Charski O'Shea along for the ride. Smaller festivals are amusing, in the sense most people know each other, and you can see everybody checking each other out.

looking through their frenenemies
and never quite as ease
as they should be...
still working
still plotting
still planning
on being better than every other asshole around!
Me? I got "friendly", put on the shades and listened to some live music - a rare occurrence here on the islands.

The music?

Well, I guess we all put up with kids' acts cause - well, the kids like 'em and who wants to be a hater when the fucking kids are involved? First up was some acoustic chick, then some world music wannabes, then a jug band playing "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" kind of tunes, and it was fine...then your basic white blues bar band, and it was ok...then came Retro Sphere. Man, these guys were great! How to describe their music? Hard, Heavy Metal (even had V-neck guitars and studded spikes on their wrists! classic...) with occasional death metal vocals, yet still pretty hooky...ah, it was great cause they were loud, live and different enough to stand out and get stupid looks from the neo-cons in attendance.

Summary: Good time had by all, Retro Sphere saved the music, and yeh - the food was good too!
