Korea just went up a couple of notches on the international music scene this summer. Just a week after Sensation the Jisan Music Festival happened in a big way. Clark and I went to check it out. 3 days of bleary eyed mayhem. Of course, Radiohead was there on opening night, but I didn't take any video because the show was too intense and I didn't even think to take out my Ipod. We watched the show from the Rock of Gibraltar up in the forest (security kept bothering us but eventually gave up). Great view! On Saturday, we got to check out Nell and Idiotape.
Idiotape. Electronic music with a live drummer. These guys know how to get a crowd going. Hope they can break out of Korea and get some international attention. Also, it was during this show that Clark transformed into...The Midnite Cowboy!
Nell. They put on a tight show, but they only played for 50 minutes. Would have liked to see more... By the way, a girl dressed like a reject from the Beastie Boys Sabotage video stumbles by at the end of the video, fake mustache and all!
The Stone Roses. This all happened on Sunday night. The Midnite Cowboy was completely riveted by these guys, but I didn't know their music very well. Should have done my homework. Great performance from the Monkey Man, who according to the Midnite Cowboy, knows everything there is to know.
Wish I had taken more video and pics, but you know, it's always better to experience things in the moment. Also, I wish I hadn't lost my damn cell phone...
