I am still not sure how I feel about a friday night at the MMC club. First of all, I should thank my friend Martin "Soki" (maybe you remember him from PJ's 2012 Prague and Berlin show) for the opportunity to even go there. He won this ticket contest you see, and as he was in North.Slovakia, he couldn't pick it up. So he sent me instead.

Long story short, I got there a little late, but not for my favourite Hex songs. I tried to capture the moment on camera when I found out I'd left the battery at home. Being on my own, I decided to go back, so it really was a festival feeling for me - getting in and out of sets. When I got back after hurrying in chilly night, Le Payaco was already in full power, allowing me to immerse into the songs and take some photos. The band was much, much better than when I last saw them at the Pohoda Festival a year ago.

I could feel the band and the audience were sharing the moment. They were over way too soon for me, and even hough the evening was peaking with the next new band, quirkily named Walter Schnitzelsson. You should really see their unique train station performance in Bratislava here:

Again, I had to flee from their performance to catch the night bus way too soon, and so the Friday's Zakovic Open Festival still resonates in me a bit.
