Ah, the middle day of the festival, always the most intense. And if in the day before the lineup lacked international projects, this day makes up for that. I’m really waiting to be surprised by a lot of shows, so should you. Let’s see.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

Hey look, it’s GNOD<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0again. I’ve already said some words about this for Thursday at day zero, so I won’t bother you much. Just pointing out that the conditions will be very different, as it’s the\u00a0beginning of the afternoon at the swimming-pool versus a midnight show, let’s see how this second show (and not the last, you wait) manages to please the audience.<\/p>\n

Next is Revengeance<\/a><\/strong>. Ready for feedback, quick tempo and screaming? It’s grindcore, bitches. Really can’t be more succinct.<\/p>\n

Seriously man? Bro-X<\/a><\/strong>? Jeez. This is hilarious. Mixing hip hop with nintendocore<\/em> (whatever that means), these guys don’t have a problem with honest lyrics, so to speak. This will be surreal. Please hear the song at the end of this article if you haven’t done so.<\/p>\n

Another two-bands-become-one project: Moullinex<\/a> + Xinobi<\/a><\/strong>, alter-egos of Lu\u00eds Clara Gomes and Bruno Cardoso, respectively. I’m hoping, as usual in this type of\u00a0collabs, that the result will be even better than just the sum of both DJs beats, and in fact creating something new and vibrant. It will work, I’m sure.<\/p>\n

Who’s\u00a0Da Chick<\/a><\/strong>? I don’t know, Rihanna, but she sure sounds like a funny gal. Singing over some funky beats, this is party music. Also, it says “Live Act” on the line-up, will she have a real band supporting her? Doesn’t matter, we’ll still dance to it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unicornibot and aluminium paper<\/em><\/p>\n

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

An appealing day in Taina Stage. To start, Jorge Coelho<\/strong>, ex-guitar player of Zen and other cool older Portuguese bands from the 90s. I’ll be honest, I don’t know what kind of things he does solo, but he was a hell of a guitar player. He still is. Should be interesting.<\/p>\n

But the great name to highlight here is Unicornibot<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Demented\u00a0stuff, guys with\u00a0aluminium paper on their heads doing crazy guitar riffs, when they don’t freak out at all and start doing pure noise. Sure, it’s an act, but they also sound great. These Galician guys are a must see.<\/p>\n

Also check: Hunted Scriptum<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Was an Outsider<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

El Perro del Mar (Sarah Assbring)<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Milh\u00f5es Stage will start rocking soon, with Blues Pills<\/a><\/strong>. Heavy blues-rock (as the name hints), with a Janis-Joplinesque<\/em> vocalist. Yes, sounds exciting. People, do an effort and go early see this.<\/p>\n

Because one of the main acts of the MdF lineup isn’t really playing that late as usual on festivals as well. I’m talking about El Perro del Mar<\/a><\/strong>, Sarah Assbring’s indie pop project. And what’s to expect? New songs, from the forthcoming album\u00a0Pale<\/em> Fire<\/em>! The older tunes won’t be left behind, I’m sure, you’ll get to be happy singing and shaking your little heads.<\/p>\n

If this was 2007, Prinzhorn Dance School<\/a> <\/strong>would be really well received [via hype]. Meanwhile, they took a long time releasing another record. It’s out by now, but hadn’t a chance to hear it. And what, who cares about the hype? It’s minimal, raw, but also not for pussies, this\u00a0Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn’s kind of post-punk. 2007 wasn’t a lot time ago and it still sounds fresh.<\/p>\n

Connan Mockasin<\/a><\/strong> will probably give one of the best concerts of Milh\u00f5es. This New Zealander psych pop\u00a0crafted by\u00a0Connan Hosford gives a sample of the exotic sound MdF has to give, as comparison to Secret Chiefs 3 last year, I’d say. Let’s ride on a trip? (Translation: got drugs?)<\/p>\n

But yeah, the big metal act of the day is missing! Make way for Weedeater<\/a><\/strong> then. Powerful stuff. Death growls on a effect loaded micro has got to be badass. Plus slugdy metal to go along. Yep, dirty thing.<\/p>\n

Keeping up with the comparisons, I’ve got a feeling that this\u00a0Publicist<\/a> <\/strong>concert will happen in the middle of the crowd, as example of Monotonix and Lobster performances in previous years. Ok, maybe not, as this isn’t really rock music but a solitary\u00a0musician who controls it all with a simple drum set and few pedals, effects and a auto-tuned\/phased micro are there too. You’ll be there as well.<\/p>\n

Connan Mockasin<\/em><\/p>\n

Other bands to check: L\u00fcger<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Gala Drop<\/a><\/strong>, Ghunagangh<\/a>,\u00a0XxXy<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(really), Hoy!\u00a0<\/strong>(I’d love to talk about some bands in here as well, but the time is ticking and you should have an opportunity to read this at least a day before the first day of Milh\u00f5es de Festa. Enjoy the music)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
