osheaga 2018 day 1: jenny lewis, yeah yeah yeahs and more
13 sessions of the Osheaga Music Festival will be held in August.
Month to month at Notre Dame de ParisDame.
We will follow up all weekend.
Here are the highlights of the first day. 4:30 p. m.
Jenny Lewis is not your typical Osheaga behavior. The L. A.
Country rock singers and former Rilo Kiley frontwoman don\'t really cater to the young pop fan base, as evidenced by the sparse crowds in front of the riverside stage when festival audiences come to the scene
The good thing is that you can go straight to the front later in the afternoon, when it\'s open day.
As soon as you get there, you are brought into the charming charm of Lewis --country vibe.
She was wearing a pink flower.
Blue shorts, beautifully decorated
Jumpsuit, long pink stripes, big sunglasses and a rainbow at the bottom of the guitar.
She joked, drank beer and threw a toy football at the crowd.
But yes, get it back).
She sang her hot songs.
She is not, though she may try;
We will not have any other way. 5:17 p. m.
Hometown boy Chromeo proved their international appeal and attracted thousands of people to the main mountain stage of their retro disco
Funk party prank
The clouds block the hottest weather, but the 34-year-old humidex is enough to inspire the adventurous Osheagans to cross the fountain between the main stages and soak in the skin during the process.
Not very subtle, but very effective. 5:53 pm.
Pull the pioneer up
The most avant-garde part of the day, St.
Vincent lent the razor
The sharp edges of her stage settings.
Her future clothes (
Black skin bangs
Knee tone body setHigh pink boots)
For this occasion, videos of art, Futurism may seem too out of date, but to the praise of the Osheaga crowd, people are with her and her fast-paced Electronicsfunk vibe.
It is understandable that
So charming. 6:09 p. m.
This year, with the increase in the number of men\'s toilets without doors, the condition of portable toilets has been significantly managed.
When women wait in line, men hang out and do business in obvious places, helping the situation.
When the ladies avoid their eyes, they certainly appreciate the shortening of the waiting time. 6:27 pm.
\"Hey, do you speak French? ” —
Several of the brothers out of town waited in front of the ATM, staring blankly at the information on the screen, the Frenchman: \"Veuillez patienter: Course la carte lecture.
\"The information is still there as the machine rotates and my translation does not help.
We ended up sending them to the bar where we got our credit cards. 7:19 p. m.
Someone refueled the water bottle at the smog station.
Patience, man. Patience. 7: 23 p. m.
\"Hey, do you want a panting condom? ” —
A woman wearing \"What is your nirvana? ” T-
Free Trojan condoms.
Different times: random carnival rides found in Osheaga: Yoyo, classic swing ride, rotate the user around;
Ferris wheel; and a multi-
Interesting slides in color. Hey, why not? 7:37 p. m.
The American DJ duo Laff Trax failed to attract a lot of people to the SC ène de l\'le, but for the Rae remmurd on the nearby green stage, the situation was completely different.
Mississippi hip
The jump duo is obviously red hot. Throngs —throngs! —
The revellers crowded inside, outside and around, making things almost stagnant.
If you think it\'s just bad time or rush hour traffic because they don\'t hit any type of hits, the crowd gets crazy and rap on every line with the feeling.
An unexpected Osheaga moment. 8:01 pm.
Karen O is the beast on stage.
Her New York band, yeah, is old.
Indie rock\'s generation of cutting-edge, far from the radar of most Osheaga attendees.
Their set on the main river stage caused a small portion of the frenzy around Rae remmurd, but that\'s what makes Osheaga beautiful: everything has it.
This makes room for this awesome populist moment: At the end of set, O jumps one by one in the cheated heart to the audience, reaching out a microphone to everyone who protects the barrier.
When everyone is singing \"Oh-ooh-
Oh \"hook, it\'s hard not to be attracted by O\'s enthusiasm, it\'s hard to be impressed by her generosity. 8:44 p. m.
\"Let\'s be weird tonight?
\"A member of the American DJ act Odesza, when they were immersed in a dance/electronic version of the 60-year-old pop, the movement was hit.
Very strange. 10:21 p. m.
What\'s this about?
After more than half an hour of his scheduled start time, Travis Scott, the first-day headline, still hasn\'t appeared.
The crowd in front of the river stage stretched in the direction the eyes could see.
PA played impromptu rap tracks and people waited. 11:03 p. m. A sweatshirt-
Sports star Scott appeared in the songsongy, bass-
The bumpy sound of The Night Walker
The crowd is crazy.
\"Sorry, I\'m late, I\'m delayed at customs, you know what\'s going on,\" the Texas rapper said . \".
So two Osheaga first: an hour and 18 minutes late for the headline, and an 11-point holiday curfew was broken, which is uncertain.
To pay a fine, but sometimes you have to give people what they want and what they have been waiting.
