Now it\u2019s time to anticipate our second day of Milh\u00f5es de Festa but the first at full speed, with concerts happening at the pool and at the main site of the festival, by Milh\u00f5es Stage and VICE Stage. For those who never attended Milh\u00f5es, the concerts of the latters always occur separately and continuously, giving us no slot time without music. Therefore, don\u2019t mind if I don\u2019t distinguish a concert from which stage, they\u2019re a few meters from one another. And you can always check our schedule for the entire festival to be sure what stage the band is performing, collaboration of ours with P3. Thus, I\u2019ll divide the shows in three segments: the Taina Stage concerts, the Pool Stage ones and those of the main stages. Here\u2019s what to see at (still by our definition) day 1 of Milh\u00f5es de Festa!<\/p>\n

Pool Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some interesting things to check here, no doubt, and even if not of your interest, the soundtrack is right for the swimming-pool. And Juba<\/strong><\/a> seems to please both worlds, with a sort of a moderate dysphonic rock who enters in secure territory. If you\u2019re not to pay much attention they won\u2019t bother you, but still, it\u2019s a good start. The next name is by far more intriguing, as it\u2019s another combo that only MdF provides: Yonatan + Igor<\/strong>. The guitarist of the not that long missed Monotonix teams up with the drummer of Throes \u2013 and Throes + The Shine, another combo band to turned to be a serious and successful project \u2013 to simply do music and fish something out of there. Given the historic of both, maybe another project worth the effort is germinating. The combos shan\u2019t stop; it\u2019s time for Adorno<\/a>\/Papaya<\/a><\/strong>! And although little I know of them, they seem like two bands with a lot of members in common, who just gave up and decided to join all together. Fits right with the music: happy punky rock with little worries. Cool, cool, cool. And to finish, a DJ set of course. No day of the Pool Stage is complete without a DJ set, and the honors are to Dam Mantle<\/strong><\/a>. But don\u2019t underestimate this one, this guy is intrinsically classy. Even though he\u2019ll come later with a more complete show, this DJ set shouldn\u2019t be ignored with a swimming-pool nearby to chill out and incorporate those edgy beats and painkiller mixing. And here\u2019s how an afternoon is done.<\/p>\n

Taina Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

But hey, screw your swimming-pool, Taina Stage has the better line-up (sorry, no hurt feelings guys I just reviewed). But seriously, consider visiting at least a band out of four. And this band could really be Quelle Dead Gazelle<\/strong><\/a>. An instrumental duo with the strength of three or four more, it\u2019s a band who knows how to avoid \u201cthat\u201d sameness of a guitar and drums duo. The guitar effects are a constant, and the drums dictates more than the pace, indeed conducts the feel and route of the song. It\u2019s a quality gig, people. The following name is Vai-te Foder<\/strong><\/a>. This means \u201cfuck you\u201d in Portuguese. Next band. Ok, ok, sorry. Literally it means \u201cgo fuck yourself\u201d, but \u201cfuck you\u201d is shorter and right to the point, much like the band (shocker!). It\u2019s crust-grindcore, what else do you fucking need? But if straight noise isn\u2019t what you\u2019re looking for, there\u2019s dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS<\/strong><\/a>. This means tWOsIXTHEENTHSrEVERSED (stylization maintained) in Portuguese, and it literally means nothing more than a reference to the sometimes rapid movements of the band. Because there\u2019s more to it, like beat deconstruction, loudness and softness and weird objects trying to vibrate into music (I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s a vibrator onstage, but there\u2019s a vibrator onstage). You know, fun! And for ending the fun after giving some of theirs, Mr. Miyagi<\/strong><\/a>. Couple years ago they managed to turn a full swimming-pool in a synchronized swimming lesson, puts you imagining what it\u2019ll be next for a stage pretty much plain, only with a stone wall next to it. Oh god, please be safe. Well, crazy rock concert safe at least. There\u2019s more of the festival to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Main Stages<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow, this year they really stood up for the first day. I mean, the most anticipated names of the fest will act this night. However, by no means \u201canticipated\u201d means the best, just that these were the most recognizable for the attenders, and for many this year\u2019s music appeal. Because let\u2019s face it, there\u2019s always a surprisingly surprise new favorite act of the year for each and every one of you. Maybe Papir<\/strong><\/a>? Maybe. They have a lot of elements who do well by the sunset, prepare yourself for long time songs who eventually explode in some uplifting krautrock, helping the ambient around it with some delays and chorus. Synths may appear suddenly also. It\u2019s a great opener for the night, I think later on we wouldn\u2019t be so much into this type of music. But for many it\u2019s just the first part of one of the many must-see concerts (if not the main one), it being Mikal Cronin<\/strong><\/a>. And I go along with it. Mikal easily stands out of the rest of the festival, not only because it\u2019s getting a well-deserved hype, but also of the music, which is pretty joyful, but much loyal and solid to his roots (San Francisco, beach rock and stuff). What more can I say, I advise you seriously to go listen to both his records, they\u2019re great. Great as the expecting quality of a guy whose past was being a bassist for other guys like Ty Segall. Got your attention now? Good. Do it.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019re talking about some influences, the next artist shares indubitably some with Syd Barrett. Ok, NOT that kind of influences (but also), musical influences. Ladies and gentlemen, Jacco Gardner<\/strong><\/a>. But nevermind the copy paste, Jacco knows a lot of the stuff. It\u2019s psychedelic rock how psychedelic rock should be: harmonically complete and timbre rich. If you took drugs for Milh\u00f5es, this is the time to use them. A concert who I\u2019m guessing will receive a lot of praise.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer\u2019s note if I happen to like the following concert (highly probable): treat him as a stand-alone experience, and not as a concert of any of the bands. Because this totally happen last year. Yes, Black Bombaim is back and this time the fusion is Black Bombaim<\/a> + La La Ressonance<\/a><\/strong>, one of the most succeeded Portuguese rock bands along with the already classic act of La La Ressonance. And if you do remember, Black Bombaim + GNOD was something of a full concert length experience, where loudness became the common factor. This time\u2019s common factor? Good question. Maybe BB will bring the whole noise and La La the unfitting gaps. Whatever the result may be, I\u2019m looking forward for the misconception.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s next? Austra<\/strong><\/a>. The indie crowd is looking forward a lot for this one, and maybe that\u2019s why this day is so strong in many levels, each urban crew gets a tremendous concert to watch. Prepare yourself for moving along with those pretty girls singing in between riffing synths and a striking bass. Either way, if this isn\u2019t your cup of tea, you can always relax, they\u2019re harmless.<\/p>\n

\u2026While Camera <\/strong><\/a>waits to bring another kind of relaxation, the one where usually your mind just goes away. I have to bring some facts about this recent band but not so recent act: these guys used to play very spontaneous shows in also very spontaneous locations, totally improvising the whole music. Don\u2019t be surprised if this is gig turns out to be performed in the middle of the crowd, an already classic move of Milh\u00f5es de Festa. Given the videos of those early performances, I sure hope so.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Milh\u00f5es\u2019 traditions, looks like the first big day of the festival is becoming the chosen one to play the concordantly biggest metal band of the line-up. This year\u2019s? Ufomammut<\/strong><\/a>. This Italian trio is way powerful, and probably the headbanging will turn out to be not avoidable. Don\u2019t expect much insanely speed on the riffing, they\u2019re not that type, just the sufficient and right. Also, no need for a singer. This experience is based in heavy sound, and I assure you, it\u2019s heavy. Another expecting great concert of the night.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019m awaiting it to be awesome,the feeling I\u2019m getting is it\u2019ll interrupt the partying a little, and Otto Von Schirach <\/strong><\/a>is guilty. An americano-cubano-germanico MC, who clearly revises the definition of swag, adds a little breakcore to the heavy partying, while using some doubtful dressing. If you\u2019re indeed going to use drugs back then at Jacco Gardner, this pretty much is the bad trip. Otherwise, lots and lots of fun.<\/p>\n

And to close, White Haus <\/strong><\/a>turntabling us a DJ set. In other words, X-Wife\u2019s frontman Jo\u00e3o Vieira choosing us some songs to hear. And this is how you close the first day of Milh\u00f5es de Festa. Stay tuned for the rest.<\/p>\n
