Around 9pm Art Brut hit the stage with a vocalist that looked not so young but had an amazing energy. Never heard a thing about Art Brut before yesterday, but they rocked! Art Brut it's a Brit¡sh Band formed in 2003 by Eddie Argos (vocalist), Mikey B (drummer), Ian Catskilkin (lead guitarist), Jasper Future (backing vocalsit and guitarist) and Freddy Feedback (bassist). "Emily Kane" and "Moving to LA" were the best of their setlist in my opinion, but all the time they had this chemistry going on, this feeling of rock that i've been missing lately. I realized i was missing rock when i was paying for downloading Ryan Adam's "Heartbreaker" that had Country under the Gender tag. I was paying for country music, and i felt i needed to go back to the rock thing. Art Brut started my return, but it was just the beginning... Thank for opening my eyes and ears again!
::: Club Foot - Kasabian :::The last band was The Rapture, Luke Jenner (guitarist and vocalist), Matt Safer (vocalist and bassist), Gabriel Andruzzi (percussionist) and Vico Roccoforte (drummer) were ready to close a chapter in my personal concert history. They made me move my legs without a pause for like an hour with just a strong bass, constant cimbals, accurate synths, singular voices and a bell. This New Yorkers made everyone there dance with every hit to the cords that tha bassist kept playing. Jenner's voice is perfect for the "beatful" melodies and he kept dancing around and playing near the audience by hugging his guitar. Jenner-Safer vocals go perfect together. Andruzzi kept hitting the bell, playing sax and keyboards... Versatile is the word for a band like this. "Sister Savior" was awesome, but nothing compared to "House of Jealous Lovers" for the end of the show. I got the chance of being right next to Art Brut's guitarist and bassist and they were loving it. He was like "i just love this guys, i can't believe we opened the show for them" and they were singing almost evety song. In what it can be considered the first interview of my blog i told them that they rocked, and asked them which one they preferred, either Kasabian or The Rapture, and Jasper Future said with a big smile in his face "I just love The Rapture". Ok... maybe not an interview then! The show was over by then so we kept talking for like a couple of minutes, and i decided to take the not-so-good attitude of a fan and asked them to pose for a picture (which later on i realized didn't work because i have the crappiest cellphone in the world if we are talking about photos!!!) and then they were coped by the rest of the croud. Nice guys though! I realized The Rapture rock them as much as it rocked me!
::: House of Jealous Lovers - The Rapture :::
The show was over, we hit the dancefloor, saw Sopitas and Cha! there, both of them really nice by answering our rock signal. Reclu, Ilana Sod (or maybe an illusion), Natalia Lafourcade, Carlitos Espejel were also rocking the venue. Great gig!!!!!
