• THE BLACK KEYS
  A bit “slow” in the beginning.. didn’t really kick off before GoTC got us jumping. You get a strong White Stripes vibe, especially when Dan Auerbach & Patrick Carney plays alone.. and that’s a good thing.
  Great “party blues rock”.. but not as great as Afghan Whigs on Thursday 🙂
  And btw.. it’s not before/after Danger Mouse.. it’s just: “The Black Keys”.
  Best Songs: Little Black Submarines, Lonely Boy & Gold on the Ceiling

• LIGHTSHIPS
  Lovely summer music. Sun, Beer, relaxing.. & listening to “Teenage Fanclub”… sorry.. Lightships. Yes, it’s much the same.. and that’s Good. Gerard Love has, after all, written many of TF’s best songs.

• AMUND MAARUD
  Very cool stuff. Hard Rock Blues… with quite a few soul elements. Mr Maarud really rocked and gave us a fine start to “Friday @ Øya”.

• OFWGKTA
  Well… it was fun.. and a bit fascinating. Lot of energy, irony, “bitches”, “niggaz”.. etc. But I guess that’s the deal. We @ JV might be a bit too old to really get this stuff.. and frankly.. I’m not that interested.

• BUSHMAN’S REVENGE
  Well at least we tried… and didn’t get it.

• SUSANNA
  They are quite good at what they do, but maybe the bookers at the Oyafestival this year have booked one too many of the melancholic women. I saw the whole concert but got bored, I would have loved to see them at a club where I could give them my full attention. I believe it would have suited them much better.
