While I probably wouldn&#8217;t have gotten into Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats without the Roskilde Festival (as I listened to Uncle Acid nearly nonstop in the weeks leading up to festival), Ex Eye wasn&#8217;t even on my radar. And why should they have been? They haven&#8217;t recorded anything. Roskilde was just their second performance ever I think. However, I had a couple hours to kill between Uncle Acid and <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/tag\/black-breath\/>Black Breath<\/a> so I started looking at the details of the bands playing in that time frame. The Roskilde Festival website described Ex Eye as &#8220;hard and heavy&#8221; so I figured I would check them out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15619\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/166_3889-DNG-roskilde-festival-ex-eye.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15619\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/166_3889-DNG-roskilde-festival-ex-eye.jpg\" alt=\"roskilde festival ex eye\" width=\"1024\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ex Eye&#8217;s Toby Summerfield<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wow! What an incredible show. First of all, the Gloria Stage is kind of amazing. I&#8217;ll post more photos of the venue later. It&#8217;s fairly intimate for Roskilde, but all kinds of trippy things are going on with the lighting. Then Ex Eye hits the stage and just blows everyone away. There are videos of their performance on Youtube now, but they don&#8217;t really do the set justice. You really had to be there to experience it to even come close to understanding how awesome it was at that moment.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15620\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/166_3912-DNG-roskilde-festival-ex-eye-gloria-stage.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15620\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/166_3912-DNG-roskilde-festival-ex-eye-gloria-stage.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Fox Shahzad Ismaily roskilde festival ex eye gloria stage\" width=\"1024\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ex Eye at 2016 Roskilde Festival on the Gloria Stage<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@colin_stetson #rf16 @summerfieldt Ex Eye was the surprise of the Roskilde Festival for me.
