Sonic Youth, M.I.A., Spoon, PBJ Play Portugese Fest

The Oceanic climate, the delicious dried cod, the relatively high per-capita beer consumption rate-- Portugal's got pamphlet-fodder for days. And all that, plus a bunch of great bands willing to make the trip, turn Portugal into the perfect spot for a mid-August festival.

Lucky is the dude or dudette within crawling distance of Paredes de Coura, Portugal August 12-15, as the Paredes de Coura Festival hosts the lofty likes of Sonic Youth, M.I.A., Spoon, a Simian Mobile Disco DJ set, Dinosaur Jr., Peter Bjorn & John, Architecture in Helsinki, CSS, New Young Pony Club, Electrelane, the New York Dolls, DeVotchKa, and Crystal Castles. All that, plus cheap Dutch beer and delicious cured fish. If you're asking for more than that outta life, friend, you're just getting greedy.
