Another hot day, another flood, the first confirmed by the quick sale of tickets which made it the first day out in the 10th edition of the US Alive. The 55,000 people there were surely behind the band of Thom Yorke – and this is what we received when we stuck with Radiohead. But a super poster like this had many other important arguments.
Tame Impala
See Tame Impala is becoming a summer tradition. Good. Since it debuted around here, in 2011, the second stage of the Super Bock Super Rock, have played here five times. They will know they give a bad concert? So far it seems not.
What we had never seen happen in any of the previous four concerts was the collective phenomenon of topless and condoms to fly we watch for one hour. The public seemed struck by any drug and several girls began to take the t-shirt for the camera, chain, which Woodstock Line. “I see what you are doing, Lisbon. The undressing. They can do it at will, “said Kevin Parker, before throwing the” Apocalypse Dreams “.
In what have been the most electronic of all the shows that have already taken in Portugal, with emphasis on Currents (2015) and older songs, such as “Why will not you make up your mind” to gain electronic notes, the concert made the perfect transition from the dark.
hit the lights and the applause he received the first naked woman who appeared on the screen did the rest. Only had an hour. They were on stage two or three and one arredaria foot. [SOC]
Foals
five years have passed since the Foals came to Portugal (alias here to Alive) and the Portuguese seemed to be missing. The British band, in turn, be made rogada, and at the beginning promised a memorable concert: “Hello Lisbon, we are Foals UK. Let’s have a good time. “
The show, the second of the main stage, it was immaculate, full of fast rock and more sentimental moments that put the audience to sing. The biggest ovation was for “Mountain At My Gates’ latest theme What Went Down , 2015. The response from the public was so good that the singer Yannis Philippakis not resist:” Thank you for making us feel so welcome. You are an incredible public. “
The best just got to the end, with” A Knife in the Ocean “and” What Went Down “, which brought the rate to the slower songs did lose. Energy, however, never failed and it was felt. In the end, the British left with a “thank you” from the public. Accounts made, everyone was happy. [RC]
Father John Misty
In recent times, Josh Tillman has established itself as one of the great alternative music revelations. And today it was realized why.
Under the name of Father John Misty, his latest project, Tillman gave that which was undoubtedly one of the day concerts. But do not expect less. When he passed Paredes de Coura, the musician showed well worth, and so when he came to Stage Heineken expectations were high.
The first appearance before a small crowd of people who were able to resist temptation call Tame Impala, it was made between screams and hysterics. Headquartered palms, Tillman gave the spectacle that the public wanted to see – knelt while he sang “When You’re Smiling and Astride Me”, threw the guitar to air on “Good Nothing Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow” and walked from one side to the other, esbracejando.
Walking through the stage to the sound of the piano, thrilled the audience with “Bored in the USA”. Despite the vocal performance (beyond amazing), it was the game of hip that convinced the female audience (and beyond). Sign of this was the bra that, towards the end, flew from the audience and ended up serving as a prop to a solitary microphone.
close, Tillman sang “I Love you, Honeybear “first theme of the last album. He threw himself to the ground, opening his arms, rose to his feet and put his hands to his head. The audience broke down and cried more with deafening applause. But Josh Tillman had to go away and fired up with kisses blown to the wind.
Lift up your hearts, Father John Misty was in Alive. And left the audience yearning for more. [RC]
They gave me useless education
And the sub-prime loan on the home craftsman
Keep my prescriptions filled
And now I can not get off but I can kind of deal
Jagwar Ma
Jagwar Ma came to the US from Australia Alive where psychedelia springing up like mushrooms (that say the Tame Impala, who came to Algés festival on the same day, or their brothers Pond).
Jagwar Ma were the second group to perform on stage Heineken after the Souvenir, which opened hostilities at 17:00. But it was the Australian group started calling public secondary stage Alive, yet the sun was felt (and well).
The Lisbon brought their electronic psychedelia made of guitar, bass, beats and synthesizers. And they gave a beautiful concert, as they had done in 2013, the Vodafone Paredes de Coura. “It’s so nice to come back” to Portugal, shot in the middle of the concert.
The public responded well and danced to the sound of Australians, particularly suitable for a music festival in the open. Still they hear the fans sing the songs of Jagwar Ma – but were mostly tourists. The Portuguese (who were there) were up for the dance, which lasted nearly an hour. And no one seemed to leave unsatisfied. [GC]
Carlão
A little conversation that stress was too. This was the emotion that Carlão repeated several times during the interview that made him an hour before returning to a big festival stage. But from the moment he took the stage not silent, either to give context to each theme, now to tell the life stories that have made it what it is today. Of course, in the rhymes of the songs with which reunited.
This meeting was the result of growth, willingness to try new things until they reached forty. The album with that name (which launched in 2015) was considered, more or less unanimously, one of the best year of the scene hip Portuguese hop, was no accident.
It was right there on stage that if realized why: Carlão is a show man that is even greater with the nerves to the surface. It is the platform that you feel the energy of the musicians that carries back to an important past, the phenomenon Da Weasel head. It is time that it’s been, told us not to bother when asked to sing this last, however, is a compliment to highlight the importance that the band had to help pave the ground – for much of what is now the hip hop Portuguese.
Almost chanced say it is on stage that the songs of Forty and the new EP in Battle sound better, because they earn context and history and voice and nerve. And anger because Carlão always had a sharp tongue.
Like when he told us how it grew, a half-breed of Cape Verdean origin “in the middle of black and white”, being neither fish nor fowl to find that not It had to belong to a gang, just be himself. Revealed the click was followed by “Central Committee”.
There were also references to today. First Dallas news sad, and almost at the end of a song entitled the dedication. “White Collar” was for “a real bad guy:. Barroso, the way Goldman Sachs”
Carlão is Portuguese by you, that is, with all the letters (words). Curious as yet noticeable discomfort in some faces (slang spoken in English yet weighs much less), but it is over 40 and is up in the paint. And it very well.
This meeting with the Alive US public was entitled to special guests. First Moullinex, the first meeting of the two on stage, and then the old friend Sam The Kid – was the moment 5-30 in the house and one of the most applauded. A note also to the voice that accompanies it and which crosses the stage: Bruno Ribeiro, was flawless
Carlão is as characterized in, in an interview, hip Portuguese hop:. In great shape and glow . We watched a show that was a “war cry”, but with “a message of peace.” [PE]
Courtney Barnett
It seems that is not very interested in what is happening around her, but it’s shape and not defective. The public who visited the Heineken stage at 19.20 know it and responded with heels, palms and crowd surfing .
The tent was not the pinecone to hear songs like “Dead Fox”, ” pedestrian at Best “,” Avant Gardener “or the great” Depreston “, because the Foals started almost at the same time on the main stage. But she deserved, with his way of singing who has no great emotions to convey (lie, listen to the lyrics carefully) and those who like to shove words where the rules of desaconselhariam metric (still breaks the rules, girl) .
Accompanied by drummer and bassist, the 28 year-old gave us that time that good festivals are made: discovery, attitude, happy to shake his head up and down before the power an Australian who has created his own label and releases the songs you want, how you want. Thank you, Courtney Barnett. [SOC]
Two Door Cinema Club
the Two Door Cinema Club edited the first album in 2010 but, since then, just released another (the third out in October). It does not seem to happen. After all, the singles of the first two albums ( Tourist History , 2010, and Beacon , 2012) were filmed (and exploited) to exhaustion. We think of “What you know”, “I can talk,” “Undercover Martyn” or “Something good can work”, for example, that have become instant hits. It was for them that the Irish arrived in Portugal.
The recognition does not make them particularly relevant in rock history, even indie rock. When, in a few decades, we continue to do what we do today (look at the past to know the classics, hear what survived the time) hardly Alex Trimble group, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird will appear among those that will remember first.
But it’s not the inventiveness or genius that Two Door Cinema Club seek. They give a simple and light rock electronic, danceable cantarolável and trends, which does not damage the ears. That’s what led to the Heineken stage, a transition understandable between the epic melodies of Father John Misty and (there is) danceable electronic and enhanced the Hot Chip
The audience joined in mass:. Mountain people who traveled the uS stage (where Radiohead had just played) for the concert of the Irish became herculean mission who wanted to move the premises (or so just to get to said stage). Who over there walked among constant bumping and without a gusset to move space, more quickly imagine the Bica at night Santos than a summer festival Ali or Lionel Messi. – Expert in dodging opponents and, apparently also to taxes – could circumvent one opponent (he was the Piqué or the type of finance)
Those who were quicker to arrive filled the tent Stage Heineken.. For he saw it all: Portugal flags agitated with fervor, countless arms in the air, almost all to dance and chanted refrains like there was no tomorrow. Especially when the Two Door Cinema Club played the hit , because they were also playing new songs, the Gameshow album (with editing scheduled for October 14), which showed that for the Irish band in team wins does not move
In summary:. was party, public enthusiasm and a comprehensive transition to Hot Chip, by the organization. Side of the band, was what was expected: a concert something predictable that fell who knew neither surprised particularly, but gave reasons to those who have enjoyed (and there were many) to leave happy. [GC]
Hot Chip
the electronic music is always to the end, is it that comes to energy capable of distilling alcohol. Many of those present were from the United Kingdom, from where came the Hot Chip seven on stage with the voice of Alexis Taylor head. The members were the electronic and percussion, especially Sarah Jones on drums.
The Stage Heineken again be small for a band of that caliber, pop danceable music almost nonstop, as a kind of DJ September but made seven (players). Were generous and passed by the main hit of six studio albums without ever being limited to play. They reinterpreted by introducing time and sound effects change. Music to dance with the singer to set the tone, as when asked that everyone should put thudding doing it himself same -. Without the voice failed him in a single note
Still had not seen, this edition of the festival, so people in high shoulders. The public knew what was going, the letters were on the tip of the tongue was dancing until full. [PE]
On the stage in the middle, DJ Kamala also succeeded (effortlessly, it seemed to us) maintain Clubbing compound to end alignment that drew himself, in a presentation hip hop Portuguese he called “Our”. The DJ on stage back of the dishes on stage dancers choreographed, towers launching smoke and well-designed visual effects, a spectacle entitled to confetti. Yes, music is a party. [PE]
Throughout the day we were in direct this liveblog, whose consultation is recommended because it includes many other times recorded in words, photos and videos. For example, we spoke with Alvaro Covões, Vasco Palmeirim Heber Marques and Fred Martin (HMB) and with the fado singer Helder Moutinho.
This Saturday is the third and final day of the 10th edition of the US Alive . It was the second running out (55,000 people) will act as the Arcade Fire, M83, Band Of Horses, José Gonzáles, Wands, Four Tet, Grimes and Ratatat (among many others). And we, again, we’ll be here.
