Leslie Hadlock was asked by Roadburn to make an official blog about the festival. This is her impression of the weekend that was Roadburn 2009.
“My initial impression of Roadburn 2009 was: Wow, it’s Alaska! Everywhere you looked: men. Lots of men. Big men. Lots of beards. Big beards. And the big bearded man next to me “singing” along to Baroness was indeed reminiscent of a moose calling. It’s Alaska! But Alaska with bands. Great bands. Are there even any bands from Alaska?”
Pics are by Paul Verhagen.
If you got observations of your own that you want to share please put them in the comments.
