Wednesday arrived, and as promised, the organization revealed the full line-up of the forthcoming Primavera Club 2012 (December 6-8). And on my first impression I have mixed reviews about it (click on the image to enlarge and see the complete list).Negative side
- Just one name from my wish list, which is quite a disappointment (their agendas made think they were possible, so I was hoping for a few more "hits"). Maybe for spring 2013?
- Less days and less bands. Not to mention the quite dramatic reduction in Madrid. I know this is not the fault of the organisation, but the consequence of the absurd policies of our governments... but still, it is frustrating.
- Distributed in five days, last year I was able to be at more than a dozen concerts. I'm afraid with the reduction of days, overlaps can be more painful than ever. Hope I'm wrong on this matter...
- Sant Jordi Club instead of Casino l'Aliança? Sound was pretty great, hope the change works...
Positive side
- Cat Power. Finally I'll be able to see Chan Marshall!
- Toy (the one on my wish list), Great Lake Swimmers (totally unexpected, very happy with that), The Vaccines, Cats On Fire, plus the special gig of Los Planetas. Five must-see acts.
- Aloud, El Genio Equivocado and BCore will have showcases during the Festival. That means nice bands to discover/enjoy, almost granted.
- Quite a few bands to research and, maybe, discover, one of the biggest pleasures, and trademarks Primavera Sound always offers us...
