Another long weekend for Tusk fest! I'll just mention my highlights....
Ellen Arkbro at Newcastle Uni playing their pipe organ, slow drone, I think it was one note slowly changing to another note(?) so good, it was quite relaxing I nearly dropped off to sleep!
Mariam & Lasses Marhaug collab set was cracking!
Blom at 2am at the Star and Shadow was out of this world, loud noisy punk, wish they were still a band and that I got to see them more!
Magma was also fantastic, spoilt by two idiots fighting at the side!
Moor Mother X LCO (London Contemporary Orchestra) another amazing set to have seen, Moor Mothers words hit hard and powerful, think it upset a couple of people I know!
Jandek not a highlight, only managed one song, unfortunately that was 30 mins, absolutely shite and felt like an incel song....
The Necks were my fave of the whole fest and a great band to end 2019's edition of Tusk. Trio from Australia who do a bit of modern jazz, piano, drums and double bass.
A mate described them as when you see them, they could play for over an hour but it feels like when they finish they have only done ten minutes and you want more!
A very good description as their set was amazing, and did feel like once they had finished it hadn't been like an hour!
So since then, been following and picking up their albums when I can as they are all as they say down under, rippers!
