Sonic Blast Moledo 2014 – preview

People tell us wonders about this festival and we believe in them. There’s not much we can say about it, though, due to unawareness on our behalf, but the recipe looks good: sun, sea, a beach, a pool, surf, skateboarding – but, it appears, it’s so much more than that. Along with these guarantees, we can add the certainty of finding ourselves among the magnificent landscape of Moledo do Minho and the kindness of the people of the north, those with the best accent. In its third edition, which this year multiplies happiness with two days, SonicBlast presents gigs from Jibóia and his oriental dances, soon to release a new EP, Black Bombaim’s stoner psychedelia, the feminine touch of Blues Pills and Church Of Misery’s doom filthiness, among others. Tickets are available for 20€ (daily) and 35€ (pass) until friday, increasing afterwards to 25€ and 42€, respectively.

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

I have to start this review by stating that I only went to see Kylesa for old times’ sake, having heard absolutely nothing they’ve released after 2006’s excellent Time Will Fuse Its Worth, back then when I used to think The Mars Volta was the best band on Earth and spent too much time – that I will never ever ever ever get back – listening to Tool records.

Space is only noise

Not noise per se, but an amazing combination of song and dance and trance and cosmic feeling. The Arkestra came to Portugal for a couple of gigs, the second of which #TeamBolachas had the chance to experience in a nice club near the Lisbon harbor, watching the river come and go and paying 2,5€ for a small bottle of water.
