Earlier this month I went to the Spot Music Festival in Aarhus Denmark. Here are some bands I saw & heard:

Indie rock heroes The Figurines

Windswept alienation courtesy of Veto

The sleek & unearthly electropop of Small
Kiddie-tech duo Electrojuice gettin down & dirty
Anthemic youthquake Dúné moves the crowd

FUKT: drum & bass with a live drummer, featuring vocalist Mission
Festival highlights Wildbirds & Peacedrums channeled Kate Bush, Feist, Diamanda Galas, etc.

The gypsy Tom Waitsoid stride of Sweden’s Andi Almquist

Evocative songstress Ingrid Olava

Comfy & melancholic as a midnight coffee: Choir Of Young Believers

Familjen's modernist technopop

Efterkraft's earnest orchpop circus was rapturously received

Jong Pang

A hungry primitivist squall called Snake And Jet's Amazin Bullit Band
Garage n' roll from Are We Brothers?

Spacerockers WangWen came all the way from China

Soaring choruses from Alter Me
