This year VibraCrunch celebrated its 5 year
anniversary in Malmö. And what an absolutely splendid night we had!
More than 4000 dedicated musicfreaks & fans showed up to move their
feet and feel united for 7 hours of crazy beats, funky stuff, indiepop
and pure ol' rock 'n' roll - making it the biggest crowd so far at
vibeful Vibracrunch.
With kind of a dream line up (according to some people
the best ever) and all the bands being up for some serious party
business after giving all they had and a little more, the night was
destined to be magic! To top everything we were also lucky as the
weather was with us. It started out pretty bad with rain and dark
clouds early in the day, but later the sun arrived (thank you,
weathergods!) turning everything into a beautiful Swedish, yet indian
summer, which (almost…) made everyone forget all about the loooong beer
queues and the not so cool and very expensive Swedish cigs – well, you
can't win em' all!

Our
own Danish rock bastards – Baby Woodrose – was the opening act. And
what a show! These guys surely know how to get in gear with their nasty
sound and catchy rock tunes – and it was certainly a thrill to see the
dust rise, as the crowd moved along to the beat and riffs.

The
cool and superb indieband from Sweden - First Floor Power – was the
opening act on the main stage and they instantly made everyone smile
with their warm, catchy melodies.
(Due to technical problems we don't have any pictures of FFP at VibraCrunch...plase send us one, if you have!)

Powersolo
delivered a burning and powerful performance with their
Rockabilly-garage-punk-country songs. A little less conversation and a
little more action, as The King would have said. We are very proud of
these guys. Check them out!

When
the day faded into night it was time to kick some ass and chew some
bubblegum (and to drink, of course) as Superheroes took the stage by
storm. Drunk Danes and smashing Swedes joined together in utter madness
to this legendary band and sang along to all the hits (Johnny really
had fun tonight!). All of them drooling over Thomas T's well shaped
naked torso.

With
a bag full of new material from their forthcoming album (out on Crunchy
Frog October 6th) as well as oldies but goodies like all time
favourite, Ten Thousand Songs, Learning From Las Vegas gave an intense
concert. They created a magic moment at the Lounge Stage. And with a
jolly jumper in guitarist Jesper Sand, the band made sure the guitars
did the talking!

Next
in line on the main stage was the Scandinavian kings of dub – Dub
Sweden. This band was a great crowdpleaser (in the most positive
meaning of the word). They are enjoying quite a big success in their
home country and for for the Danes - not all of 'em sober at this time
- this was the perfect introduction to an excellent party band you can
jump around to and have fun!

A
wonderful bunch of native Malmoe people playing some wicked shit. As
usual the band, led by singer and guitarist Henrik Andersson (who is
originally from Umeå) kicked off in high gear. Melodic stuff and breath
taking ballades - just how you like it!

To
finish an unforgetable night of pure pleasure and joy it was Danish
band, Mew's turn to take over the main stage. Due to their much (well
deserved!) hyped, new international album, "Frengers" and their
spectacular stageshows, they sure had something to live up to. To judge
from the huge and excited crowd, Mew fulfilled everyone's expectations
with a mindblowing and heartful finale on a grandiose day. Only the
people made of stone didn’t have a little tear in their eyes by the end
of the night.
