DARK TRANQUILLITY @ Hard Club, 2013/11/17

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Pieni

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Originally shot for Backstage Forum. DARK TRANQUILLITY is that kind of band that never lets you down when it comes to live shows.  Promoting “Construct” (released in May), they played those most recent songs in the beginning… and “Uniformity” was the encore … Continue reading →

TRISTANIA @ Hard Club, 2013/11/17

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Pieni

Originally shot for Backstage Forum. I know that diversity is the spice of life, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed. A band such as TRISTANIA opening for DARK TRANQUILLITY is just wrong. It seems the gig in Lisbon was good, though … Continue reading →

PROJECTO SEM NOME @ Spot Bar, 2013/11/16

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Pieni

Cristovão Siano writes poetry. PROJECTO SEM NOME (project without a name), a.k.a. PSN turns that poetry into music – hence the loose pages that decorated the stage. It seems that the original idea was just to perform at the release … Continue reading →

ADEPT @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/10

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Pieni

Someone told me this was the best band on board. Well, given my personal tastes, I had to disagree. But I do agree that ADEPT was one of the best live acts there.  The last pic doesn’t make full justice to … Continue reading →

IMBER @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/10

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Pieni

I don’t know how the focus of my lens suddenly was in manual mode instead of automatic. Maybe I don’t really wanna know… All I know is that it did happen and I only noticed it way too late. But … Continue reading →

ROCKSTARS ON MARS @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Pieni

A glam band amidst all that metal was quite refreshing.   According to singer London LeGrand, ROCKSTARS ON MARS are “bringing the glam back”. Accurate choice of words as they’re not exactly reinventing the wheel. But the attitude? 100% sleazy!  http://www.facebook.com/RockstarsOnMars

SKITARG @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Pieni

Clown metal – the things I learn in Sweden…  I didn’t stay long, although SKITARG were giving a hell of a lively show. But the crowd was waaaaaay too enthusiastic, and also the Baltic Sea was literally rocking the boat hard, … Continue reading →

MONOSCREAM @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Pieni

MONOSCREAM hitting the main stage at Rockbitch Boat.  First time I’ve heard about them was when I bought Sicksound‘s “A New Era” compilation (review here). Live it was even better – just as it should be. They’re going to hit the studio … Continue reading →

SKID ROW @ Electric Ballroom, 2013/11/05

Posted on December 24, 2013 by Pieni

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I had seen UGLY KID JOE in 1995, when they opened for VAN HALEN and BON JOVI, but SKID ROW was a first. And since they were one of the first bands to hit the favourite list when I was a kid, it … Continue reading →

UGLY KID JOE @ Electric Ballroom, 2013/11/05

Posted on December 24, 2013 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The kings of “cheese metal” proved being much alive after all these years – especially singer Whit Crane, who seemed incapable of standing still, and (live session) guitarist Sonny Mayo, with his incredible high jumps. Split for 13 … Continue reading →
