VFest Wrapup: No One's Going To Take Me Alive

September 11, 2006

Today I'm nursing a major VFest hangover, but let me tell you, it's the best hangover EVER - highly recommended. I'm buzzing from seeing so much good live music; I've been listening to more live recordings all morning; basically anything I can get my filthy hands on.

If you haven't already guessed it, my highlight of the weekend was Muse's incredible one hour set on Saturday night...they just killed it. They should have been the headliners and closed out the whole show, IMO. But there were so many other amazing bands there...reliable standbys like The Strokes, Jose Gonzalez, Alexisonfire, Phoenix, BSS, and newly discovered favourites like ohbijou and DJ Champion.

Oh, and Zero 7, who, despite having a thrice delayed set - because of Lupe Fiasco sneaking in a set, soundcheck problems, and then a power outage - were incredible. I was SO happy to see that they came with vocalist Sia Furler in tow to sing classics like "Somersault", "Destiny" and "Distractions". And Jose Gonzalez did guest vocals on a few tracks too. Lovely set & highly danceable, too!

If you missed the live streams & you weren't on the island, keep your eyes peeled (ew) because we're gonna have select performances up on MuchAXS in the next few days for you to review. And keep sending us your pics & videos from the weekend, to vfest@muchmusic.com!
