Latitude Music Festival - Doves, Spiritualized, Mika, Band Of Skulls

Mika – Uncut Arena

Begrudgingly, I accompanied my 12 year old son to watch Mika play the Uncut Stage. We missed the first three or four songs & entered the stage with Mika sitting at the piano playing, as it was billed, an acoustic set. I lasted just two songs before asking my son if he was bored. He said to give it one more song.

 

Just then two cannons fired a continuous stream of confetti over an audience full of young children and mothers. Then, unexpectedly Mika climbed on a platform, possible his piano, and a full band stood up. The show came alive with a lively version of Big Girls from his award winning debut album Life In Cartoon Motion.

 

Though not my style of music, I certainly appreciated the effort Mika was putting into the performance, as he leaped all over the stage, orchestrating the audience in clapping along in time with the up tempo beat.

 

To end the set, Mika made himself visible to all once again, this time sporting an American Indian headdress and playing a trashcan which was tied to his chest like a big bass drum. Whoops and screams, mainly from the mothers rather than the kids made for a great atmosphere and reminded me that, after all we were all here to enjoy ourselves. And for his part, Mika put on a great show.

:naughty:

Oh I love these friendly reviews from non-Mika-fans!:thumb_yello:

We get so blinded by Mika, loving almost everything he does and takes it as the most natural thing in the world with the flying balloons and the glitter in the air!:roftl:
