Milhões de Festa 2014 – Preview

image

Preparing to spend a few days amidst triangles,  swimsuits, mojitos, red wine or caldo verde, the Bolachas team runs though a selection of anticipated highlights from this week’s Milhões de Festa in Barcelos.

We’re heading to the festival today (thursday, the 24th of july), looking for  the eclectic line-up that will twitch the ears of any music connoisseur seeking out a suitable alternative to the usual mainstream festivals. Taking place until Sunday, the event will feature a packed line-up that cuts right across boundaries of genre with a diverse selection in four stages (Taina, Milhões, Vodafone FM and the pool curated by Red Bull City Gang).

Bandas com Wulf no nome

Kylesa + Lazer/Wulf. Hard Club, Porto, June 22nd 2014

May 2014 at Mercado Negro, Aveiro

Ever wondered why we’re posting less and less stuff nowadays? Yes, we’ve been busing getting other things done. Like this all star lineup for a month of concerts at Mercado Negro, in Aveiro, Portugal. After a wonderful Old Jerusalem concert last week, tonight we host Matt Elliott yet again, this time with a new album. Next Wednesday we bring one of our favorite songwriters to Portugal for the first time ever: Will Stratton. Finally, on Friday 30, we welcome back Micah Blue Smaldone, who hasn’t played in Portugal in the last six years, and we’re also proud to present, for the first time in concert, his Fire on Fire and Cerebrus Shoal bandmate Tom Kovacevic, who has just released one of the most surprising albums of the year, Universe Thin as Skin, on Immune Recordings. More info and links in the Facebook event page.
