Sant Feliu Fest 2012 (Sant Feliu, August 18, 2012)


I will borrow an appreciation of our dear Wences New Vulcan to uncover what will be my humble chronicle of Sant Feliu Fest expected after two years of hiatus: "The Sant Feliu Fest is one of the few festivals where bands are more below than above the stage. " And why has our beloved bassist, because on Saturday August 18 in Port Espai enclosure we saw seven bands and greet as many, many more. That more than a scene, it's a great family, a role model. Congratulations again ganxons and friends TZVR members!
The festival actually began on Thursday 16 in the room with the bands Yankees TZVR Chalk Talk and Everyone Everywhere. The following day, Friday, the organization had prepared a curious performance: a wall painting by artist Ed Trask with inspiring background sound of the orchestra of the winning horse. All audiovisual experience, live pure creativity. We were unable to attend, but thanks to the lovely Carolina goal Click,-that has given us all the pictures that accompany this text, we can get an idea.
On Saturday, at 6 pm but still with a blazing sun, jumped the youngest, Please Wait. Young, very young, especially the battery, which could have as much ... 12 years? To find the influences of this promising trio, and this excites me especially, we must go back a few decades ago. They are sucking punk rock, but I bet you do not averse to emocore or post-hardcore. To understand my point just listen to your presentation topic, 'I want you inside of me', which burst with a string of the guitar and had to start over, by the way. With the look timid, and in all humility, but lashing out with their instruments and desgallitándose force, Sant Feliu trio got the audience in his pocket.
Then rose the French Daria, unknown in these parts but very professional, which made it very clear from the first topic that attacked. Formed in 2000, the Angers practice a melodic rock in the style of Foo fighers, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World, but with a touch more metallic. Impeccable together, however highlighted the singer and guitar thrust Camille, real engine of this combo of the neighboring country. They had played before in the peninsula, specifically at the Hard Rock in Barcelona, ​​years ago, as recalled between songs, but I fear that this bolus in Sant Feliu was far more rewarding. At the end of the bolus, sold and signed many vinyls. Good sign.
Goes without saying that The Red Room was arguably the less I wanted to hear. Something does not fit me, I come, perhaps for the indie pop genre with messages say sometimes extremely sugary. They had several excuses to play at a festival like Sant Feliu Fest: many years in the gap outside the fashions and above all, had recorded with Santi Garcia, also at the controls with his brother Victor of the festival soundboard . Jokes aside, that would deceive you play bad and nothing is further from my intention. Sounded better than good, truth, and compact, rather than solvents, and at some point even came close to earning a staging rather more rock than it could wait. Anyway, do not quote me, is my business, because in the faces of the public could see the buenrollismo and happiness, and that in these times is priceless and is admirable. No objection.
From here, noventero revivalism and seized entirely underground festival. Starting a band whose name freaks me: Office of Future Plans. It's so mysterious, so dark and at the same time, so smart. Behind the project, J. Robbins (Jawbox) and friends. One of the highlights of the day, no doubt. The concert was less to more, from electrical nerve passages tremendistas minded pop, especially from the time when Gordon Withers parked his bizarre cello unceremoniously scratch your guitar. Great find these in the office of the future plans. As Kepone, the next to jump on stage and literally washed away everything, as usual, making all that beautiful wall of sound that threw us track after track look easy. Many of those present expected to Virginia with win, looking forward. Above all, the members of the organization, which stuck ourselves to bring up their land, and seized more so programming a bolus visit the next day in the room with Moksha TZVR and Beach Beach that I have, was even more overwhelming. Surprising to the uninitiated, orgasmic for his followers ever.
The sound of the West Coast came with Seaweed, distant cousins ​​and contemporaries Samiam and All. His melodic punk rock with an emotional point fit great on the poster, and while rubbing the quarantine (if not exceed) showed to be very fit. All face to Randy, a guaranteed party. Too bad this time these Swedish punk rockers the party will stick before jumping on stage and touched lightly injured, leaving a half-issue because the bassist had forgotten how to play and stoppages between songs entirely expendable. But with such great songs in your pocket, not even that could fail. People danced, chanted, jumped, enjoyed, as always, as ever. This was the dream finale, a near-perfect closing to finish some burning shoe ended up in the nearby room so Pandora. Now, counting the days for next summer and next Sant Feliu Fest.

George Ringsgwandl ...

If the Ringsgwandl comes, the hall is full. It was also recently in the non Lustspielhaus different. Right at the doors open, there were numerous fans and one hour before the concert begins, the house was already crowded then. Drums, bass and electric guitar were prepared and then the master came in person. With hat and shirt, guitar and curtsy.
Georg Ringsgwandl   (c)Gardill-Vaassen


A more peaceful, quieter evening, there should be announced, in fact, the memories of his homeland Stauffenbrücke Berchtesgaden (Staffabruck). Ten years ago he was already using this program with Nick Woodland on stage. At that time, convinced the unusual instrumentation of the thrifty pieces and the finely observed stories. So very close in this thematic and musical context, it was in the comedy house but not this time. His Staffabruck universe he has hastily expanded to several other songs and put forward with much enthusiasm and pace, aided by his excellent combo. Thanked the audience with plenty of applause and at the latest when he exchanged his hat for a woolen hat, had put on his sunglasses and then brought with zither accompaniment "his" Stubenmusi, stormed the hall. So completely, he can let the clown but probably not - but who ko, ko!

After two hours of programming, three encores and numerous Hofknicksen he dismissed his audience in the evening and mingled itself with the amount of sweating in a comedy house. An original, an artist, "just by Oana Echt'n".

P.S. Schorsch, Staffabruck was great, but now it's time for new!

"We parted, Wisin y Yandel pa there long! @ @ nolimitpr llandel_malave, "wrote the Puerto Ricans through their official Twitter account, which records more than 1 million followers on the popular social network.

Having conquered the music charts in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, is nearly normal to begin circulating speculation about the future success of performers like Sexy movement and Follow the Leader.

Suspicions about a possible career break began to take shape when they left on a surprise tour that would perform with Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias. Disagreements between the promoters? The Cowboys? and the show's producers were cited as reasons.

In addition to refute gossip, Wisin y Yandel are busy planning their next presentation on August 25 in the H20 Music Festival at the State Historic Park in Los Angeles.

ArtOfficial: Interview

ArtOfficial was one of the surprises of the night for us when we saw them live at the Indie Showcase. The band has good chemistry with all members contributing their part with talent and passion.

"So we mix our music a little bit of everything," said Danny "Keys" Smith, as we talked about his influences, from Black Star to Jaco Pastorius, also of Cuban music and rock. We also talked about his song "Cadence AO," a song that intrigued us of his latest Vitamins & Minerals.Ralfy bassist learned that Valencia was a teacher of high school drumline!

They also recommended other Miami bands like Madness and Suénalo Juana, and left us with an idea that I liked personally, "Latin by association". :)
