TIFF-Day 4 or V-Fest?

Alright Today I had no films to see but a ticket to V Fest, just took a little break and let the music take over, it's such a blow that Massive Attack pulled out of the fet due to U.S visa problems (can't believe it, if U.K bands can't get a visa then who can?).

Got in time there to see the Strokes, Wolfmother, Zero 7 and Broken Social Scene.
Wolfmother was impressive kind of reminds me of Led Zeppelin for some reason , although musically they are very different.


The Srokes were alright, not my cup of tea , same for BSS, no big deal, just a nice band.

Highlight of the night was (unexpectedly ) Zero 7 who totally blew my socks off. With their new album “The garden” they have changed their image as a soulful down tempo band , to a combo of Pink Floyd’s space rock, Interpol’s thumping alt rock and even a bit of ELLO /Tangerine dream 70’s electronica, a weird but wonderful mix that works perfectly and had the crowd going nuts during their 1.1/2 hour performance.

Singer Sia Furler’s wonderful voice was too strong to bare at moments , like riding an emotional roller coaster and the newly added singer /guitarist Jose Gonzalez is amazing (Think James Taylor but more relaxed and cooler). Overall an unforgettable performance and something to remember for many years to come.
