Hot Press New Bands Stage, Friday 10th July, 3.00pm

What happened: Singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn was happy to be at Oxegen. Actually, Priscilla Ahn was very happy to be in Ireland, thanking everyone in the News Bands tent about ten times before she even started her first song. The set started with a deafening dose of feedback and then a flurry of apoligies from the terribly polite front-woman. Her first song was a lovely melodic number, I think. The sound from the main stage where the Coronas had just started was all anyone in the tent could hear. By the second song her sound engineer had caught on and put the volume up, to the cheers of the crowd. Her vocals suddenly filled the tent, reminding Atl of Neko Case and Broken Social Scene on the song 'I Don't Think So'. For the next song the drummer moved from his kit to a tiny xylophone, which he proceeded to hook up a a massive amp The song was called 'Boobs', and as Priscilla explained, was about her jealousy of her boyfriend's ex's ample chest region. Then started the predictable taunts from a bunch of lads in white body-suits and dust masks about her own 'upper-chestal region'. She took it in her stride and started the song. The drummer pulled off an impressive and unexpected xylophone solo. He threw the sticks in to the crowd as he finished, to the cheers of the body-suited lads in the corner.
