had a great evening at the wireless festival in hyde park last night. managed to see some or all of gnarls barkley, flaming lips, terry callier, dj shadow and massive attack. flaming lips certainly win the prize for the maddest antics – the lead singer rolled around in an inflatable ball, there were people dressed as spacemen, snta claus, aliens, superheroes and more, confetti filled the sky, green balloons bouncing everywhere – fantastic stuff…
highlights for me were seeing DJ shadow again – it was his first gig in 3 and half years. they managed to set his stuff up in 20 minutes which was an amazing feat in itself. 9 screens linked together provided the usual magical backdop. a new album is due in a couple of months. gnarls barkley’s crazy was the singalong moment of the night. massive attack were brilliant as ever.

sounds like a great show.
Cool. My brother was there and phoned me as Massive Attack were singing…so a little Kiwi at the bottom of the world got to experience a little of it…
Sounds like it was brilliant. Haven’t seen massive attack for ages.
Tha Lips did put on a spectacular show, I didn’t want it to end.
It was past 11 at a micro club in Baltimore and the Flaming Lips had just started their show. Something to the left of me caught my eye and I turned to find two men in pink bunny suits bouncing up and down. And that’s my Flaming Lips story.
I was at the Wireless festival the next night. Goldfrapp were excellent and Depeche Mode are quite simply the best live act there is. Truly Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed yourself.
