Oxegen 09 - Dirty Epics
Heineken Green Spheres Tent, Friday 10th July, 2.45pm
What happened: Atl decided to start the festival off on the rock foot. With the rain coming on it was an easy descision to pickÌýWicklowÌýband theÌýDirty Epics in the Heineken Green Spheres tent. The crowd seemed rightly up for it and lead singer SJ pranced around the stage like her life depended on it. The last time I saw the Epics was in a packed Limelight. But their set has transfered well to the festival format. With two songs to go the heavens opened up over PunchestownÌýand soon theÌýaudience had doubled. Being the first band on canÌýbe mixed blessings for aÌýnew bandÌýbut by the last song the Dirty Epics had theÌýwhole tentÌýmoshing away.Ìý"This is our last song," said SJ, "It's calledÌý'Pony' and it's about riding..."ÌýThe Dirty Epics have set not only the bar for the rest of the festival, but the tone too.
Describe in a Tweet: Dirty Epics were the revels to Oxegen's soaked revellers.
This AsÌýA High: Lead singer SJ rocking out in a black dress.
This IsÌýA Low: First human pyramid collapse, epic fail.
Oxegen rating: 6/10
