YACHT at bicycle film festival
the bicycle film festival stopped in milano this weekend. unfortunately i didn’t make it to any of the screenings, but valentine and i managed to bicycle our way to the dance party saturday night. YACHT was headlining, and they’ve been a favorite of ours for at home dance parties, especially this song
so we needed to check them out live.
the party was more milano fashionista (it was at the european institute for fashion) than it was bicycle crowd. but the energy was super and YACHT were excellent; the music, costuming and performance, mixing sacred and profane symbology with super dance music.
found this clip on youtube from the show. you can see me dancin’ in my cycling cap around 4:18, just before some dude tried to make out with the singer. and then again with my fist dance around 4:54. i was rocking my HUB jersey from providence, rhode island, represent.
after the show, we rode our bicycles back from the south of the city all the way to the northern part where we live. it was 3 am and the center was almost completely desolate. we rode up to the duomo and cycled around the piazza a few times enjoying the emptiness and quiet.
