Escucha, ‘You’re A Lie’adelanto de lo nuevo de Slash y Myles Kennedy

Ya es posible disfrutar en la red de ‘You’re A Lie’, nuevo tema de aquella esplendida coalición formada entre Slash y Myles Kennedy, frontman de Alter Bridge y ex miembro de The Mayfield Four. Esta pieza vendrá incluída dentro de “Apocalyptic Love”, el esperado segundo álbum de Slash que saldrá a la venta el próximo 22 de mayo.

Las impresiones generadas tras escuchar el tema son realmente buenas. Los amantes del buen hard rock encontrarán en ‘You’re A Lie’ otra gran razón para continuar dando la razón a Slash, ex guitarrista de Guns N’ Roses que tomó una gran decisión en su día al aliarse con un Myles Kennedy que está esplendido en este tema.

Sin duda alguna este es un gran inicio para la nueva etapa que se le avecina tanto a Slash como a Myles Kennedy. Esperemos que este ‘You’re A Lie’ tan sólo sea la punta del iceberg en un majestuoso “Apocalyptic Love”.

Pop a capsule of vitamin entitled 'Some Nights'

Four or five tracks on the second play of Fun been sufficient to discover the new step forward that has given the American band. Between the arbitrary and the meticulously controlled, Fun are experts on what to have fun with the (apparent) intensities disorder characterized his music. 'Some Nights' is perhaps the clearest evidence on this LP that New York has an innate ability to entertain the staff.

Now you can build an introduction with background vocals to the Queen, who, in a matter of seconds, all with a dynamite percussion rhythm can break down walls and mountains. By and not to mention the vocal outbursts of Nate Ruess, or guitar rumblings are heard throughout the topic. All evidence a fact: Fun have distanced themselves from that sphere full of indie pop that belonged in the past. Now the American trio has grown, evolved and cries invade the field of commercial pop.

Nothing is what it seems in the world of Fun Welcome to the world where the spread is precisely that which is caught by hand.

Nada Surf Madrid (The Riviera, Feb. 18, 2012)

How can we wonder Nada Surf? With a discography rather flat, his style has been maintained since "High / Low" (1996) to the recent "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy" pop rock with a respectable result of a simple formula: strong melodies, lyrics that delve on social issues in an elaborate and original (not everything is "Always Love") and a special heat transmitted to the public in every direct. Three items that are not out of the ordinary and that together, are what should be any band that deserves to go on stage. The magic of Nada Surf is that by doing what they do and how they, beyond reach. They are alchemists of his own music on stage and just becoming something else. One thing that hooked.

But before you start with New York, special mention for Waters. I could say that 'heated up the atmosphere', which is the stone with which we carry all the openers, but I fall short, so short that I had some panic to the direct ensombreciesen Nada Surf. Very Pixies, the San Francisco knew how to win guitarrazo based scenic and strength, no shoegazer attitude, all by and for the audience front and forceful. They played songs from his latest album "Out in the Light", and ended with them singing "Forever Forever" "Mickey Mantle". The good feeling was served on the Riviera, and just needed the appearance of those legendary dreadlocks Daniel Lorca and company.

And Lorca, Spanish representation of Nada Surf, strong wine. Lasted only two songs ("Clear Mind Clouded Eye" and "Waiting For Something") before turning to the audience the third issue, for non-neophytes of the banda was a blessing: "Happy Kid" from the album " Let Go ". Thus began a presentation of his new album in a wide mix knew setlist with an overview of the most notorious of his discography. We, who know what we like and how. That's how accommodating they are.

The last time I saw Nada Surf was a live recording for Radio 3 concerts featuring the album "Lucky". On Saturday in Madrid had rejuvenated. It had to do, and much, incorporation for this tour of two components: Martin Wenk of Calexico and Doug Guillard of Guided by Voices gave a clear added value to Nada Surf, introducing new topics and offering a different force cuts always with an air of reinvention-listen to a final "80 windows" with trumpet and including "Hi Speed ​​Soul" with the touch of theremin is dissonant, certainly something more and better in the race for New Yorkers. Besides knowing what we like, know how to do it differently. Do not bore us know.

There is something you notice in the environment in concert Nada Surf: despite being surrounded by hundreds of strangers (the Riviera sold out Saturday night in the capital) feels an implicit camaraderie that goes with any direct banda. Including political message through the defense of the Internet ("If we are here for nothing: unburden what I feel like it"), Nada Surf get a familiarity that causes a confirmation of a date in a city is mandatory . But when they start sounding chords of songs like "See These Bones" or the version of "Evolution" of Mercromina.

I will not detract from the new songs sounded flawless, and far more villains than I expected after hearing the album-but I, sometimes I get very sentimental, I'll take the last two encores: "Popular" and "Year Blankest ". Matthew Caws is delivered as recited this poem teen, but that both moves and touches of "Popular". And just crying together a "Fuck it, I'm goint to Have A Party". At the end of the day, Nada Surf are a 'usual'. And we always want to stay here.

Appalache: The Search For Serenity

The nebulous and buzzing drones interspersed freak folk ambient pieces on "Fue" so something sounding like a travelogue. The music by Julien aka Magot APPALACHE here reflects the impressions and experiences of a year of traveling through various regions of the world in regional musical references, but above all also emotionally.

"Fue" is not only a retrospective of a spatial journey, but also a description of a spiritual journey. It is the search for serenity, for a hopeful view of a calm and Future expectations with respect to the things that might come there.

Holy water pipeline and Seehofer intestinal

Six siblings of the family are well in the intimate theater in "fine be bleibn other leg" on stage together and perfecting the subversive component Bavarian house music: As a really warm your heart in this frigid winter.

This will be a blockbuster in the chamber play, no question, "be fine, bleibn including other" The entertaining revue have the Bärbi, Karli, Burgi, Michael, Moni and Christoph Well, along with director Franz Wittenbrink put together. Two special guests there's the bargain: the great old lady of the well-dynasty, mother Gertraud Well, and "Santa Claus" Gerhard Polt. The Brav Heits diagnosis of the latter at the well mom is hilarious. He lists all the children and then asks sternly, "? Must be Yes everything has the" Because of the well-Mom is just a shy "Yes, my" from the lips, after which the Polt with a "I hope that I can not happen again "and the farewell" at Easter comes Santa Claus again "after a few minutes of shuffling off the stage.

Gerhard Polt and Gertraud Well

The Wellsche view of Bavaria and the world is as it should be, when two ex-members of Biermösl Blosne on stage, socially critical and disrespectful: The CSU is going downhill ("I warn the size wias firmament, book now samma happy by 40 percent "), the whole constitutional protection is anyway at the NPD, in today's families, it is normal to the grandma in the nursing home deport (" Who nimmtn d'Grandma de in a coma "), the Catholic Church is corrupt, the pharmaceutical industry deceives us with revenue of more obscure pills to be happy. Even the refusal to rent the Munich Pinakothek, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, a self-portrait by Albrecht Dürer, the wells are pretty funny. They invent stories of a holy water pipeline running from Russia via Altötting to Lourdes, and fulminate against the planned third runway at Munich airport. Prime Minister Seehofer is taken a little squeamish with the song "In the gut," a target, because there have never done any CSU politicians comfortable, "De Hasselfeldt, in Berlin, since Guttenberg was cited scho there because Ramsauer, like a tick, the wennst moi did bring, never gone. "

Bavarian response to AC / DC

On top there is the Bavarian version of "Highway to Hell", the "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel and the rapper 40 Cent is in no time a tirade against the meager price of milk, "I dealn san with white gold, for the koana what zoiht ... I Agricultural aggro, fuck the farmers' association, because when price increases net na ma plug your car on fire. "

In between the siblings bicker a bit more of who is who now has the time with one of the poker is fried, but Drum's: The music was always an element of peacemaking. Looking at all the instruments on stage are hung artfully draped, so it's hard to believe that they will be played instead of an orchestra that evening just six people. From the ukulele on the bagpipes and the harp to the alphorn, everything is possible. If you look at this family look like they asked earnestly, in the next life be born into a large family in Upper Bavaria. A thunderous applause rewarded the two and a half hour evening, after adding a number of the audience is willing to go. All upcoming shows are already sold out.
