some of you know that I occasionally write for a Dutch music blog called File Under: New Music Well, thursday, friday and saturday of last week I was at Haldern-Pop in Germany, which is a (more or less indie oriented) music festival true to it's small footprint with only about 5500 tickets.
Was pretty awesome, and I saw a lot of bands I didn't know yet, so here's a list of what I've seen:
Day One
Day Two
Day Three

ooo some good bands there... wintersleep are great, their album is quality. i also disagree with your decision on the thermals, they're a pretty awesome band, maybe they were having an off day... or maybe you just didnt like themPosted 29th August 2009 at 11:08 PM by Aoami

aye well tastes differ I actually bought the Wintersleep album here in Norway. Also if you don't know them I really recommend Broken Records, BLK JKS and Health. I kindof think Health would be to your liking matezor Posted 31st August 2009 at 03:49 PM by TdC
