Sunday the
22th of may I have been to the Cirque Royal in Brussels. There were three acts;
two support acts and one main act. The worst band of the evening was the main
act, Mercury Rev.
The first
band of the evening was Royal Bangs. Royal Bangs is an American music group
from Knoxville. This trio played energetic pop songs from their last album.
The second
band was The Walkmen. The Walkmen is an American indie rock band, with members
based in New York City and Philadelphia. They have several good tracks but I expected
more of this show; the numbers were rather slow and boring. Only the last track
was a bit energetic.
But still
was The Walkmen not the worst act of the evening.
Mercury Rev
the well-known band from the eighties was just not good. They had a royal lightning
show, with dozens of candles on the stage. They had a seven men band that tried
to create a dreamy atmosphere.
They didnt
succeed in this intent. The show was just not good, it sounds gay.
Fortunately
we didnt have to pay. We were making promo for Democrazy.
