Modern Sky Festival (October 4)

Sunday afternoon, I was in Central Park for the Modern Sky Festival.

Usually, the festival takes place in China but, this year they are also doing it in New York City, Los Angeles and Seattle.

I managed to see six performances.

1. Miserable Faith (from China)

2. Mark Sultan (from Canada)

3. Song Dongye (from China)

4. Gang of Four (from United Kingdom)

5. New Pants (from China)

6. Yoko Ono & the Plastic Ono Band (from United States)

Obviously, I was there to see Yoko Ono & the Plastic Ono Band (which included Thurston Moore on Guitar and Sean Lennon on Keyboards) but, the crowd appeared to be more interested in seeing the Chinese singer-songwriter Song Dongye. It seemed like once he finished his set, a large group of the audience left.

It was too bad because, both New Pants and Yoko Ono put on really good performances.
