Electric Picnic 2007
Sonic Youth

Describe In Three Words: Rather great actually.

Remarkable Moment: When Thurston stopped the rain and chased away the clouds to bring out the setting sun. Before this ‘Incinerate’ manages to burn away even in the drizzle. The encore is the sweet feedback city of ‘Rocket’ as they go through their catalogue in about their only show of the festival season not based around Daydream Nation.

Crowd Reaction: It’s small to begin with, but more people come along and as the happiness on stage connects with us there is a threat of moshing by the end.

EP Rating: 8 – the silver rocket soars from the masters of tuneful noise abuse.
