thanks suprefan and jonny

mogwai should have played the 'bullet' stage, 19:05 - 19:55, but the start of the festival was delayed by four hours due to torrential rain.
line-up included coldplay, echo & the bunnymen, mgmt, elbow, we are scientists, akron/family, la roux

all points west

reviews/comments

from stuart:

our show was a bit sketchy but watching the bunnymen and the new york skyline from side stage was magical. great to catch up with w sargeant.

from dominic:

weird show tonight, awesome view of statue of liberty from stage, eclipsed only by barry's level 10 onstage shit fit due to broken amp.

from nj.com:

back on the second stage, scottish five-piece mogwai serenaded the soggy with droning pieces of instrumental post-rock. the band is heavy on the guitars, building reverberative cosmic noise piece-by-piece, with martin bulloch's drums dictating the pace.

also from nj.com:

we're not sure if we would consider mogwai's music the most romantic in the world... maybe that would be barry white or sade. but the scottish ambient-rock band sure brought out the love, as fans swayed back and forth, as if in a trance by the, well, trance-like music during today's set at the all points west music and arts festival.

the influential band, also sometimes lumped into the "post-rock" musical genre, performed at the bullet stage to a packed crowd of fans.

lead vocalist stuart braithwaite summed up the day pretty well, asking, "are you glad the rain stopped? so are we."

indeed

from hitfix.com:

tool was loud, my bloody valentine was louder, but i'll be damned: scottish instrumental shoegazers mogwai were loudest.
