It seems that I’ve seen ECHIDNA‘s first show, back in 2005, or at least one off the first batch of shows. I was amazed at how they stormed that small stage – the brainstorm one at the original Hard Club – and instantly became a fan. So when I was told their former bass player Miguel Pinto was the new 5-string master at INFRAKTOR, I didn’t jump of joy only because I was sitting inside a car. My face lit up with a broad smile though. 

A couple of months later I saw the first gig with the new line-up, confirming what I already knew – Miguel fits like a glove in the INFRAKTOR family and brought a whole new meaning to “live show”. And the crowd went along. 

It was also on this night that I’ve learnt that “Ferocious Intent” was born while Popas and Katito were watching some National Geographic documentary on lions…
