Splendour Review: Pulp

Posted in Gig, International Artists, News, Reviews with tags , , on July 31, 2011 by keelykov

Pulp is more than bits of crap you wish weren’t in your juice. They are the high light of Splendour In The Grass 2011.

Opening with a laser conversation with the crowd. Flashing pink PULP letters illuminate the stage and the best parts of the nineties walk on stage.

Employing his trademark sarcasm and fact of the day (does he own shares on wiki) and drinking his red wine, Cocker led the band and crown through a pulp greatest hits set. From Disco 2000 to Underwear to This Is Hardcore and of course Common People (sans William Shartner) Pulp killed it. Literally, it’s dead.

We danced, we got sexy, we thought about the people we wish we hadn’t slept with, and we sung. Yes. We all sing like mother fuckers.

Jarvis baby, you still got got it.

Top that Coldplay.
