Black Bombaim
3 min read
Hi, let me introduce you to a band I've discovered few month ago, and already one of my favourite : BLACK BOMBAIM.
They are from Portugal, and have one of the most astonishing sound I've ever heard. They play a very heavy psychedelic rock, kind of hallucinogenic fuzzy aerial stoner metal. Their music is mostly, if not completly, instrumental. The songs last at least 10 min and are played like an intense and feverish jam session. Forgive all the music codes you learned, no verse, no chorus, just the musicians offering you a unique trip with their music. Yes just three, sometime a saxophonist (like the legendary Steve Mackay !!!!) or a vocalist is invited. How only three guys can produce soooooo much sound !?!?!?!? When I saw them on stage I was like on transe and one of the few moments I was awake I was wondering how such powerful sound was possible. I've listened many bands sounding incredibly heavy on stage (Wo Fat, Fishbone, Nine Inch Nails) but Black Bombain succeed in spreading so many sounds at the same time. It's not just loud, it's also aerial and whirling. The rythm is constantly changing, the music convulsif, frenetic, threatening, opiated...sometimes all these sensations are together. The feeling is difficult to explain. It's like being drowned in an ocean of sound and shunted by a fuzzy hurrycane. It clearly release unexpected energies from our souls and bodies.
While the drumer is hammering his rythms leading us in an emotionally and physicaly rought transe, the bass make us feel powerful and deep beats from our deepest entrails and heart, like if an unknowed sleeping strengh has suddenly been awaken, and were trying to escape our body. The guitarist, is a giant. Outside the stage he's quite common, you barely notice him. However once he's playing his music he blow out of the water the other. His guitar is like a flame-thrower breathing sounds from the deepest part of the soul. He nearly don't move but he's emitting an incredibly mighty and comforting strenght. Theur music make you feel more free then ever, both spiritly and emotionaly.
I had few striking musical revelations and Black Bombain is by far one the most important of all if not the most alongside with Funkadelic, Led Zeppelin, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Rage Against The Machine. They really play for themself first and want to share with us their music. Their records can be purchased during their shows or on internet. On their website you can chose the price you buy the music (only for the mp3 downloads) : starting from 0 euro !!!! (5 euro for the last album). They make all by themself and don't order a price for it.
Black Bombain is :
Ricardo Miranda (Guitar)
Paulo Gonçalves aka Senra (Drum)
Vitor Rodrigues aka Tojo (Bass Guitar)

Concerts
2 min read
Exams just finished and the least I can say I rarely felt sooooooooooooo relaxed.
This week start the month I've been waiting so long : May, the month of the concerts. I've always wondered why there is so many shows on May ?
This week the best band on Stage in the whole World : FISHBONE. It's the second time I'll see them on live. Everybody looking for a incredibly powerful show, full of life and happyness should go to a fishbone show. Their records may not be the best I've heard (I'm a fan but don't listen it very often) but on stage their are unmatched. For example Gogol Bordello only represent 30 % of the energy that Fishbone can spread in concert.
On next Wednesday the legendary Brian Jonestown Massacre will lead us to a timeless trip. Anton Newcombe (maybe one of the most antisocial musical genius) and his friends/rivals, are certainly one of the few bands I've sweared to see on stage before I die. Their music is simply timeless, futuristic and vintage at the same time. It's like if this band was living in two different space-time simultaneously. Their goal is simple : keep music evil.
Finaly on the 29th : the cult band Nine Inch Nails !!!!!!!!! Trant Reznor will give us his sick and sexy music. What can I say about NIN...it's not like seing agreat band, but something stronger. It's seeing a living legend of music history, a key band of rock history !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep an eye on these bands cause they are on tour.
That's all for the moment !!! Stay alive, stay free...and DIG !!!!!!!!!!

Gogol Bordello Live !!!!!!!!
2 min read
Last week (November 19th) I went to see gogol Bordello. It's the 2nd time I go to one of their show and it still as awesome as the first time. Not much to say except that they are one of the friendliest band I've ever seen. A usual everybody was dancing, jumping madly, and as always I went back to home incredibly tired, happy, and wet 
They talked to some peoples before the show, interacted with the audience and sharing happiness, and played VERY GOOD music. Sadly some members of the original band wasn't here. I also met an unexpected person, kind of a friend, at the concert...so it was a great show !!! EVERYBODIES MUST see Gogol Bordello on stage at least once in their life. All the people I know who went to one of their concert agree with me : they are one of the best dealers of joy ever. Better than any drug or alcohol.
They are on tour actually so take a look at their dates. It's not expensive and you will not regret it !!!
