drunk soup

ByeCow was the first band onstage. Or downstage, for the stage was so small, they were actually facing the crowd on the same level. They started with a version of Peter Gunn that sounded like some freak son of Iggy and The Stooges. It turned out to be an introduction to Cocaine, which was a nice way to warm up. Then they went into their own songs, and the crowd went mad with drunken singing. At some point, I remember they played Seven Nation Army. There was also a song about looking for an open beer joint, for another drink and a time to think, and then realising he is really getting way out drunk. By then, I was right there onstage, to avoid the mosh. And then came Os RetrĂ´visores, ready and willing to do an even crazier show. And so we went. I can't describe it. The guys from ByeCow were singing, even I was singing. It was a total drunk soup, but luckily no one barfed the scene up. These kids know how to hold their liquor.
Since some of the crowd went away after ByeCow was done, we were freer to jump around, and so was Kao, the lead singer. I doubt that he ever was this crazy at any other show with Os RetrĂ´visores. They closed it by doing a spaced out version of Can't Explain. It was SONIC Bliss!
