HOT STREAK @ Pede Salsa Bar, 2016/06/17

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Pieni

HOT STREAK is a new cover band of rock hits – all kinds of rock, from STEPPENWOLF to ALICE IN CHAINS, going through INCUBUS. This was their first gig and singer Rui even misspelled their name for “hot strike”.  But apart … Continue reading →

AS THEY COME @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 28, 2016 by Pieni

The contest was over but the party wasn’t – last year’s winners AS THEY COME had been invited over to wrap up the night. I really enjoyed their gig at Casainhos 2015 (gallery here) but I found them even looser … Continue reading →

COME CACOS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 25, 2016 by Pieni

With a singer drunk as hell, COME CACOS stormed the stage. He didn’t even know the name of the band who had lent them some gear (it was SOUL OF ANUBIS, by the way). But hey, they’re a punk band … Continue reading →

SOUL OF ANUBIS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Pieni

SOUL OF ANUBIS was the band that got my vote. Not because I’ve known drummer Shaq for a decade, but because I know his talent and that night I had the chance to verify that the other two guys in … Continue reading →

THE GRAVEDIGGERS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Pieni

After FORTUNE TELLER pulled out (no one understood very well why), THE GRAVEDIGGERS stepped in. Can’t accurately tell what they play as they mix a bunch of genres… and it works. They’re clearly a new band, I hope they keep … Continue reading →

THE IDYLL’S END @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 20, 2016 by Pieni

Once again, Vitinha and his Rock On Música SJM promoted a band contest to elect the opening act for this year’s Casainhos Fest. In a proper venue this time, although the lights still sucked. So even though I missed shooting … Continue reading →

BLACKUNPLUGGED @ Bedouinbar, 2015/06/27

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Pieni

I’ve known Matador (guitar) and Suzy (bass) for ages, but it wasn’t friendship that led me to São João da Madeira that night – a bunch of rock & metal classics in unplugged mode? Couldn’t miss it! Songs such as … Continue reading →

THISHONOR @ Rock On, 2015/02/28

Posted on May 2, 2015 by Pieni

One of the worst lit venues I’ve ever been at! But then again, Rock On is a music store and this concert was held in its cellar, so I guess it can’t really be seen as a proper venue… Anyway, … Continue reading →

THE BLACK CHAKRA @ Plano B, 2014/07/04

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Pieni

THE BLACK CHAKRA, from São João da Madeira, space-rocking Plano B with their debut EP “El Maya”. I’ve said this a zillion times, but can’t help saying one more: I FREAKING HATE RED LIGHTS!  http://www.facebook.com/theblackchakra The detail:
