By far the most wanted and loved band at the festival, as seen by the large crowd that gathered by the gates just before the concert, Phoenix did their great show and nobody could ever deny it. Becouse they are old, becouse they are great artists, becouse they are legends here in Romania. They sounded like perfect.
Disclaimer: Altough some of the photos were shoot with my camera, none of them is mine.
As the Stufstock 2006 chapter on my photoblog is approaching its glorious end, there are still many bands that haven't been mentioned. The truth is, i was so absorbed by ones during their concert that i forgot to shoot any photos. However, here are some other pictures from various concerts.
1. Alex Purje ( Nociv )
2. E.M.I.L.
3. Butch ( H8 & E.M.I.L. )
4. Alexandru Andries

One thing is sure about moldavians. They rock! I have never seen such talented people all together, when it comes to music. Alternosfera were the only band, as i remember, to have to play with visuals on the big screen here at Stufstock, creating inspiring atmosphere, and the old Gandul Matzei group, that rocked the stage with hard-rock-soft-ethno tunes. I did not shoot many photos at their concerts, becouse all i did was jump around.
I know, i just know there will never be a day like that again. But at least their concerts are getting better and better. Ladies and gentlemen, here is Kumm, playing for the fourth time at Stufstock festival.
Grimus are some sort of a new band when it comes to singing in Bucharest's clubs, and i guess people that knew them were happy to see them play at Stufstock. I think the ones that hadn't heard of Grimus before liked them too, becouse they sound like lemon fresh here in beautiful Romania. Am i right?
The guys (and girl) from Timisoara known as Blazzaj sang at the fourth edition of Stufstock in Vama Veche too, and they were mostly apreciated. Not to say Cristina Padurariu's (pregnant) appearance, Tavi Horvath's attitude and Utu Pascu's retro flower sunglasses together with the funky jazz vibes made the public explode with joy and sing along. We want more!
Word of the days was: "Roooooock". Most people came to Fanfest to have fun and drink, as themselfes said, and forgot the main reason for being there. Not to say some were very surprised when we told them we came all the way from Bucharest to see the bands. Luna Amara had a great show and Altar also, and you could see people respond better to bands from Cluj, Timisoara, Oradea, as it was obvious most of them came from Ardeal. Sleeping in a tent for two cold nights, having no place to wash, rain, mud and a continuous teeth pain were too much for me to enjoy the festival to the fullest. Even so, i danced and singed along with Grimus, the new revelation when it comes to rock, Blazzaj with the funky jazz beats, Blackbeers (heya Burger), Coma, and of course our friends and family, the guys from Oliver. Will not post photos with bands, as i feel better ones are on the way.
