By Simone RibeiroPhotos: Rob Dann & Simone RibeiroIn 2012, Supersonic has completed 10 yearsof existence and therere loads of reasons to celebrate. Once again, its line-up delivered what weall expect from Supersonic: a variety of bands and artists from all over theplanet. A truly adventure through the underground music!A three day of festival- taken place from19 to 21 October- with several events such as printing screen workshops held byGet a Grip shop;as well as art interventions that included exhibitions, films anddocumentaries, speaks and so on.A walking tourthrough the city to unveil the first steps and history of Black Sabbath andan artinstallation made by ex- Sonic Youth Kim Gordon were highlighted in theevents program.It was a cold weekend, to say the least,in which Midiativa moved to the coolest area of Birmingham- Digbeth- to check anotheryear of Supersonic Festival; having some ( many) drinks and eating- the alreadytraditional between us- veggie pizza at Yumm Cafe. To start with, weve interviewed thebrummie band Modifield Toy Orchestra, well before the festival begins, to get ataste of what would be their gig on Friday, first day of event and you cancheck the result here.As might be expected in this 10thedition, the public in the festival has increased. Something noticed onSaturday, around 5 pm, when Custard Factory was already packed. The soundcoming from the three festivals venues, the turmoil in the local bars andshops already indicated that the second day would be pretty interesting. And itwas!A quick stopping by at VinylRally, one of the most interesting event facilities, and a sort of"racetrack" made with vinyl discs where sound and visual art mixedperfectly. Created by Lucas Abela, Vinyl Rally was a success on the weekendamong those who wanted to spend a bit of adrenaline racing through this pretty unusualracetrack. Another very popular area during the eventwas the Tea Room, with fanzines, posters, illustrations, vinyls, Cds and ofcourse, tea and cakes. Highlighted for the presence of Leeds illustrator (raisedin Birmingham) Bissoux Bunny, whocame especially from Japan to expose her incredible work in Supersonic thisyear.The first performance to be highlighted onSaturday was the one of the Finnish singer Lau Lau at Warehouse stage. Avery sweet voice; keyboards; nice conversation with the public and some goodScandinavia folk songs.Another Folker was in the Boxxed stagethereafter, the British guitarist Dylan Carlson also did notdisappoint.Psychedelic rock with atouch of jazz musicians made the performance of Flower- Duo- Corsano, one of the most exciting of the night.First signs that the combination of music styles was already spreading at thefestival stages.Perfect time to check what was going on OldLibrary stage. Two great gigs, actually. Starting
