I attended a small project "A concert - Three columns" for the blog Tox. The idea was to get three different views on the concert Strange Death of Liberal England this Saturday, November 3 at the Rotunda of Botany. You can see the results by clicking here . Again thank you for the invitation to ToX. and here is what I had to say ...
Early entry and unobtrusive on stage a half-filled rotunda. A member of the group waving a white card bearing the name of the group by way of introduction, taking the audience back to completing the order at the bar and the sound engineer who struggles to find the lever to stop the music. An hour later Strange Death of Liberal England will leave the battlefield after a concert blitzkrieg, as they arrived, simply waving a sign "Dank U". Between the two, not one minute of respite. The group connects the titles of his first album without interruption, even extend a little solo guitar or drums unnecessary to allow time for the other group member to retune before embarking on the next song. Like a battalion of young soldiers guided by the spirit and some great ideas, but gifted messy, lovable but annoying, they lead their assault Music Brussels as they wish, even offend.
While keyboardist stands at attention, Adam Woolway, singer and guitarist in-chief, led the hostilities with his voice distorted with a knack of seducing or hair stand at different times. Unfortunately the sound setting leaves something to be desired (extremely rare in this room) and does not do it justice. The rest of the group likes to exchange instruments, thus adding to the momentum without really convincing either. Eg there is no real drummer but three musicians with a background in drum. Any disruption, it reinforces the martial rhythms on most songs but does them no credit in the flights. Their compositions are as strong as on the disc. "A Day Another Day," "An Old Fashioned War" and "Oh Solitude" are delivered accurately. Sometimes too faithfully. One could imagine an extension of "An Old Fashioned War" to truly lead the public in their fight but they opt to an abrupt end. The final push is on "I Saw Evil" where they will drop everything to take their last song to the next level. A promising group
therefore, still (very) young, but has tremendous qualities and he will continue to follow. Also remains to be seen how long they can keep their silent approach of the interaction with the public and whether they will be able to find another solution without sacrificing the theatricality that is their charm.
between ourselves ... Music reviews, artist presentations and notes of humor
