Los Campesinos! + Dry The River in Barcelona


Exciting stage begins largest concert of the year. Now when you bring together one after another bolazos those we like, among which include the latest proposals from the Spring Club (blessed be the musical offerings of the festival) to the latest concert dates Grupazos The size Gaslight Anthem, Refused or Van She. Unfortunately on Sunday could not happen to see Jack White bolus attended by my colleague and friend Sebas (chronic here), but I overcame that little disgusted to learn that he had a ticket to see the first big double bolus of the season: the Los Campesinos! + Dry The River at the Music Hall of Barcelona.
The night started with Dry The River. If I'm honest I will say that this band was the one I called the attention of that night are the hours I've spent listening "Shallow Bed" and was much anticipation I had put in that action. Fortunately the experience turned out much more rewarding than I expected at first, go bolazo!
Undoubtedly this hour of indie rock / folk has been the best I've enjoyed this year. The setlist was not surprising. All we expected and what the band is limited in this respect, and it makes sense because they only have one album to their backs. What I came to really impress is the ease with which it comes to move and excite the public. They were motivated, energetic and turned towards an audience that gradually began to feel immersed in a scene framed by lush forests populated by huge deciduous trees. The moment 'Weights & Measures' was perhaps the most representative of what has been said, no amps, no mics DTR took to try his luck with an interpretation mingled more intimate version of the group with the most rockeramente apotheosis and fierce. Here's a recording of the short introduction to the topic.
At the end of the concert our photographer Rosario told me that Dry The River seemed the "Biffy Clyro's folk / rock British". Personally I think he was right to make that comparison, when Londoners roar, roar of truth. With extreme violence that manages to balance on a pinpoint its most slow and melodic. 'Demons' was a great example of this exact balance of sensations that elevates the live of these guys. They are good!
If Dry The River was the face of the night folkie, Los Campesinos! was the facing the euphoria and dancing. The Barcelona public already knew (there are several live performances in Barcelona) as most of the public gathered at the hall to start September skipping and jumping to the beat of sparkling guitar riffs these lads from Cardiff. Input remember impressed me, that seven types of seeing on stage as the Music Hall is something very interesting and worth seeing. Quite another is the direct end result: except some point exception ('Baby I Got The Death Rattle' 0 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed', among others) and Gareth effusive energy, the band abused autopilot.
Speaking of his time was downright direct linear except the singer, the rest seemed to be in a bubble that prevented them from acting naturally. True, they tried, and in more than one occasion, but I was under the impression that the audience did not get to finish jump in your game (and I mean completely, not a few), except when 'You! Me! Dancing ". It was in that song the audience awoke suddenly to let the soles of the shoes with the bright sound of the great song that have better prepared the creators of "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed" and "Hello Sadness".
Shortly after 23:00 Music Hall lights came on and left the room smiling. Perhaps the experience of Los Campesinos! was somewhat bittersweet but apparently in Dry The River we made it you had to be at that concert. Great Budweiser Live! Mixtures are thus happy that day, that the musical life continues at the Music Hall!
