Friday 11th June Bigelf - Sweden Stage (4/5) Bigelf has been around since the early 90’s, but it’s not before in recent years that they have started to get some recognition and last year’s Prog Nation tour with Dream Theater and Opeth was a big success and made a more mainstream audience open their eyes to the band, now that prog has become pretty big. But that was an indoors tour so it was very interesting to see how their brand of Black Sabbath meets The Beatles rock would go down before a festival audience. The answer to that would be: Very well. Despite having to start playing at 12.15 the band made a very convincing apparence. It was also on a happy note that they drew a pretty big crowd. As a live act, Bigelf is a solid rock and even though frontman / bandleader / main songwriter Damon Fox is stuck between two huge organs and therefore is limited and can’t move much on stage, the band never gets boring to watch, even for second. The band is tight as hell and the music reaches out to you and takes you on an exciting musical journey, with its heaviness and groove. A great gig by a great band and I dare all music lovers out there to go see them the next time they’re around.
