On Friday June 19, when homeland if any, could not stop going out to enjoy. And I think that there is nothing like enjoying a Friday, even more than a Saturday .. I do not know why ... anyway. Decibels are presented in
Soundays , Electric Kool Aid and Vintage.
As always in these times of year the cold was present in Montevideo, but fortunately many people we did not care very much. To start the night
Vintage touched. A nice presentation of this band was the first time I saw her live. Highlighted the guitars, rolling with those chords well at times, and there was also room for some blues, played from the presentation of singer Mick jaggeresco quasi showman. Can enter your myspace to beat them a listen.
After Soundays touched. A band is already known to me and this blog. This is the first time I see them live with the new lineup of four and the truth that the sound leaves nothing to envy the old formation. Presentation was a good rock, good guitar above all the power issues, backed up by good work of the "new" bass player and the rhythmic base that always requires a battery. You could say that the show was not very long but if you had that energy enough to hit a kick to the public and mussing all. Stay tuned for new work of the band, which already can hear some tracks on myspace of premix from the disk. As always, good chords and melodies emerge from this band. A Cordovan my acquaintance once wrote: "They were born, grew up and live in Uruguay, but the reality is they breathe different air, are part of a different atmosphere, and the music is the most faithful of all this." Nothing more certain than that phrase and nothing more to say.
the end came Electric Kool-Aid. The cut "Beautiful people" from their first album a while ago that is rotating on the radio, and do very well. So well that were nominated in recent Graffiti Awards 2009 for "Best New Band" and "Best Alternative Rock Album", all under the tutelage of the famous Max Capote. A band that you may notice a brit air influence, for his lyrics in English and music style. Some influences on their myspace are named Joy Division, The Beatles, The Cure, The Smiths, David Bowie, among others. They sounded great, I liked the detallísticos arrangements and intelligent use of those keyboards that sound great.
