Gig Reviews
Sometimes as a writer, review the concert of a band that has been marking different stages of your personal life is really hard, especially for the fact of trying to be objective without falling into the fan phenomenon at the first sign of trouble. Up to seven times I’ve seen Editors, remanining in my memory
Canadians Arcade Fire came back to Barcelona just one year after presenting worldwide their latest album Everything Now (2017) at Primavera Sound 2017 Festival. If on that occasion the two shows at Barcelona’s festival left us with a somewhat bitter aftertaste, the concert before a Palau Sant Jordi with almost 80% attendance from the band
Thirty Seconds To Mars, the American rock band led by the versatile and Oscar-winning Jared Leto, returned to Barcelona 5 years later of their last visit to the Catalan city to present their latest album America (2018), released worldwide last week. Before a Sant Jordi Club that presented a good entrance full of thirty-somethings, the

About 1 hour and a half of concert where Mike Hadreas conquered the audience from his emotional mix of pop and histrionics
Toronto’s band METZ returned to Barcelona after their impressive concerts at Primavera Sound 2013 and BAM 2015 to present their latest album Strange Peace (2017), enjoying finally the power of the Canadians this time in a venue, the newly remodeled room 2 of Sala Apolo.

Last Wednesday, on the coldest night of this year in Barcelona, the Americans Algiers landed at Sala Razzmatazz 2 that surprisingly was not even 50% full to present their second album The Underside of Power (2017). Neither their two excellent records nor their more than justified live fame managed to attract the public of the
Since more than 20 years, Texans Spoon have been giving us albums able of mixing the best of rock and pop with the styles they fancy. In this 2017 their particular gift has been the wonderful and praised LP Hot Thoughts, which on Tuesday night presented at Sala Apolo in Barcelona that surprisingly was not
