EXIT12


Nekada davno, kada sam bila mala, obećala sam sebi da nikada neću prestati da kupujem Mikijev zabavnik. Došle su devedesete u Srbiji, Mikijev zabavnik su ukinuli, ali mi se nekako čini da svakako ne bih održala ovo detinje, iracionalno obećanje. Zatim tinejdžerske godine, prvi koncerti, prve muzičke opsesije, i bila sam spremna da dam novo obećanje - da nikada neću prestati da posećujem koncerte bendova koji mi znače i iz prvih redova vrištim tekstove svih pesama napamet. Sigurna sam da ću za koju godinu možda malo ispomerati prioritete, ali mislim da ljubav prema dobrom koncertu ne može da se preraste, barem ne lako poput Mikijevog zabavnika.

Već znate da mi je ovogodišnji EXIT obeležio sjajan nastup danskog benda When Saints Go Machine na Elektrana stageu (pogotovo što sam to veče nosila najbolji asesoar na svetu, u vidu autograma, da ne kažem autoportreta pevača benda :), ali hajde da vidimo šta se još dešavalo...

When I was just a kid, I promised myself that I will never stop buying Mickey Mouse almanac (really popular at that time, probably the only Disney publication in Yugoslavia). In the meantime, Mickey Mouse almanac got cancelled, but I doubt that I would fulfill this irrational, childish promise anyway. Then came the teenage years, bringing first concerts, first music obsessions at a time...I was ready to make some more promises - that I will never stop going to the concerts of the bands that mean something to me, and never stop yelling the lyrics I know by heart from the first row. I'm sure that I'll rearrange my priorities a bit in the upcoming years, but, on the other hand, I don't think you can grow out of a good concert, at least not in a way you can from the Mickey Mouse comic book. 

You already know that I will definitely remember this EXIT for the When Saints Go Machine gig on Elektrana stage...Especially because that night I got to wear the best accessory ever - the autograph of the singer :)

Iako me njihov 90s synth-pop nije preterano impresionirao muzički, moram priznati da su Sneaky Sound System doslovno zapalili Elektranu u petak! Pojačani domaćom podrškom (njima domaćom - odjednom se pojavila gomila Australijanaca, sa sve zastavama!) dovoljno su zagrejali publiku za DJ set benda Thieves Like Us, koje smo ustvari i čekali. Mi smo đuskali i đuskali, a onda i malo iskazivali ljubav u backstageu, sa sve osnovnoškolskim grupnim fotografijama. Dobro, malo smo preterali, recimo da momci sada misle da su u Srbiji popularniji od Zdravka Čolića, i ništa im nije jasno :) 

Svoju profesionalnost u pružanju fandom usluga i traumiranju po bekstejdževima, naš tim je dokazao i sledećeg dana, kada smo u foto-mašinu uhvatili  i 1/4 Azari & III. Vidno istraumiran količinom foto-aparata u opticaju (svako je hteo svoju fotku, molim lepo!), pokušao je da nas zaslepi cirkonima sa svoje Dart Vader ogrlice, ali mu nije bilo pomoći.

Ovaj EXIT definitivno su modno obeležili Lana Del Rey cvetni venci u kosi. Kandidatkinja je bilo puno, cveća na sve strane, ali je definitivno pobedio momak sa narandžastim Jaegermeister cvetićima :)

Although their 90s synth-pop might not be my cup of tea, I must admit that Elektrana stage was literally on fire during a Sneaky Sound System gig! With a little help of a local support (suddenly, a huge group of Australians, altogether with the flag, came to conquer Elektrana :), they've really made a great intro for a Thieves Like Us DJ set, that we were waiting so eagerly. We danced, and danced, and then showed some love to Thieves Like Us in the backstage...Not the way you think, it was all about telling them how much their music means to us and circa 75673546 group elementary-school-like photos. Well, we might have exaggerated a bit - they probably think they are bigger than Madonna in Serbia :)

On Day 2, our team also had a chance to show professionalism in fandom and backstage trauma services, as we bumped into 1/4 of Azari & III, after their fantastic, hip-moving performance. Visibly traumatized by a sheer number of snapshot cameras around him, he tried to confuse us with his bling-bling Dart Vader necklace, but the effort was useless. 

Fashion-wise, if judging by a sheer number of floral crowns around, there must have been a huge Lana Del Rey look alike pageant that I wasn't aware of. The winner is definitely the guy with   orange Jaegermeister flowers.


day 2 // DIY Ceca shirt you already know from here / neon pink leggings, black snakeskin print jacket and golden chains thrifted from Nylon flea market / no name black canvas sneakers

Čekajući dva sata akustični nastup Citizensa na Jack Daniel's stageu, vreme nam je kvalitetno popunio mladi slovenački bend The Toronto Drug Bust. Citizensima sam oprostila i dva sata kašnjenja zbog te tri akustične pesmice, ali nisam regularni koncert. Uhvatila sam sebe kako zevam u prvom redu, iako je sve bilo regularno - momci fini, trude se, znaju da pevaju+sviraju, pevač izvodi sve znane rokenrol vratolomije, čak u jednom momentu uskače u publiku, dok tinejdžerke vrište u ekstazi. Možda nije problem u njihovom synth-popu, koji je odlučio da krene soft-rock stranputicom, možda sam ja prematora za te bendiće. Elem, utisak večeri su definitivno popravili dark-synth romantičari A Terrible Splendour, sa sve projekcijom Metropolisa u pozadini.

While waiting two hours for the belated Citizens! secret acoustic gig at Jack Daniel's stage, we've spent some quality concert time with the young Slovenian band, The Toronto Drug Bust. And I might even forgive Citizens! that I missed Little Dragon because I was busy waiting for those three acoustic songs, as it was really good and intimate, but I will not forgive them the regular concert! Although all the ingredients for a great gig were there - the singer was doing all the classic rock'n'roll moves, even jumped into crowd at one point - I simply could not connect, and caught myself yawing in the first row...It might be that I'm simply too old for all those pop-rock-ey bands. Fortunately, there were A Terrible Splendour, a dark-synth romantics from London, complete with the Metropolis visuals in the background, to save the evening.
