The plan was to partially photo capture the event from late afternoon onward, and to, at least include Terebentina and Ângela Polícia scheduled for 10:30pm and 10:20pm.
Rain, bands starting one hour, or more, later than scheduled, and a couple of minor foot injuries called for an early fold.
Talea Jacta, P A L M I E R S, The Lemon Lovers, Sereias and Madmess were captured.

The Sea and Cake – Any Day
by Raquel Pinheiro
Any Day is The Sea and Cake first album in six years, written and recorded after bass player Eric Claridge left the band. Now a trio: Sam Prekop (vocals, guitar), Archer Prewitt (guitar, piano, vocals) and John McEntire (percussion, drums) – live Doug McCombs (Brokeback Eleventh Dream Day, Tortoise) plays bass.
Claridge may no longer be part of the band, but The Sea and Cake sound remains recognizable, even if in Any Day synthesizers were hardly used, guitar and organs being favoured. There is also a sunny, light, summery tone and lightness that is not always found in their albums, some of them more winter leaning.
A good example is the title track, a delicious pop song, highlighted by Paul Von Mertens’ flute and clarinet, punctuated by Nick Macri’s double-bass. Another the rosy bubble gum flavoured I Should Care. These Falling Arms, in the same vein as the title track one more piece of happy warmness. Archer Prewitt’s voice is pure delight in these three songs.
However, summer can, at times, have rainy, grey or chilly days. So does Any Day. Into Rain is like walking under gentle falling water on the seaside when the sun is setting; Occurs a misty Atlantic early morning and Paper Widown the portrait of someone watching the beach and sea because a storm broke and inside is cozy and warm.
The Sea and Cake probably never had an album that would define their name so well. Any Day has sea and cake in equal doses, making it a gentle, refined pop album splashed with ambient tones that provides a rich imagetic canvas.
The Sea and Cake play at Galeria Zé dos Bois, Lisboa, on the 27th.
