yesterday i bumped into a link to Shoshana's gig at a38...it s worth checking a38's program during weekdays, god knows how many bands have i missed.. with this thought i ventured into the Buda side of the Danube on my bike.. breeeezy!!
as soon as I came there, Broken Cups started to play.. they are Budapest based lo fi post punk quartet. (4 guys - bass guitar, electric guitar, drum machine, singer.. )
it s worth checking a38's program during weekdays, god knows how many bands have i missed.. what can i say.. the idea of reviving post punk is inviting and they have potential to mediate teenage punk angst, but... the vocal is completely out of tune, songs have no structure, there seems to be only chorus, or a theme that is on a constant repeat for 3-4 minutes... the guy produces some noise and swirls on the stage for some reason.. as i said, there is potential for a decent melodic post punk here, guys just have to compose a structured song, if they want to attract more listeners...
hear their album here! maybe u ll like it more than me
then she came, i mean they started..Shoshana is an Israeli rock duo - songwriter Tamar Aphek (guitar, voc) and Jonathan Harpak (drums), they formed in Tel-Aviv in 2012. Tamar was dressed in dark t shirt and jeans she held her guitar like nothing else mattered.. she was young polly jean harvey in a rougher phase/nirvana/sonic youth.. stoner rock phase...
sadly my camera was n t charged. this is how it looked and sounded like:
it was a seductive blend of whimsy guitar riffs, energetic drums and Tamar's pleasant vocals.. she was leading us through her world of broken relationships, expectations of israeli youth, zest and despair... all packed in tasty candy of heavy riffs.. before the end of the gig she turned to the audience with a dip of sarcasm: "soooo... what s going on? i guess i have to play another song..because... im an entertainer.. this is what i do" ehmmm...it s fine, not every performer's duty is to be an angel of kindness... so be it.. then she rocked on.....!!
hear this one too..for the end..
their central European/Balkan tour is nearly done... come back soon!!!!
