MP3: El Perro Del Mar – Change Of Heart

Our brilliant guest blogger, Britt Lundborg, attended the Swedish gathering and offers a full report! If over-turned porta-potties, bio-hazardous mud and mildewing sleeping bags are not your idea of an epic festival time, then buy yourself a ticket to Way Out West 2010. The Way Out West Festival held in the Slottsskogen Park in Gothenberg, Sweden for the past three years is well-organized and clean, sort of exactly what one thinks of Sweden and its people. In fact, it would seem as though the Way Out West organizers believe in the health-benefits of a good summer’s jam and actually want to improve your health. No zeppoles or deep-fried Oreos here – you can purchase fresh fruit, trail mix, Thai stir-fry, or sushi as a nosh and then finish your meal off with a cappuccino. Of course, there’s beer to be bought (on par with US festival prices at 50 kronor a pint, about 7 bucks), but also wine and cider. The beer gardens are exactly that – grassy expanses dotted with tall oak trees (useful protection during flash down-pours) and picnic tables. There was even a little stream rolling through one and festival-goers killed time between sets feeding the ducks that paddled in it. Who knew ducks enjoyed alt-rock? Who cares about ducks – what about the music?
