Arrive late, as usual, just in time to hear the last part of the opening, the Romans Spiral 69 , which seems to me to make a decent pop-rock a bit 'gothic new wave and just with male vocals and beautiful piano darkettona in tow, and promote their first album, A filthy lesson for lovers released on October 5 for the Megasound rec.
Then, after a glass of wine, I look around and begin to study the situation.
When there are no English skills and money.
There is a sales desk that looks like a table set for twelve people with all types of shirts, albums, singles, posters, bags, pins (so on and so forth) and two (and I say two) involved in the disposal of so much abbundantia.
This fact leads me to the first careful reflection on how everything today is consumer and mover of the substance of a phenomenon. Let me explain. How does a band formed just a couple of years ago and which, however, self-titled album debut came out just just over a month (using the same label Hewitt , the Ancient B rec), as does a rib unhappy born from the ashes of another individual band (s Placebo ) that, at least, had (has) on his side personality traits and characteristics, to have already 'four different types of shirts and a raft of worthy Pink Floyd height of their career?
They should first become famous and THEN pose as such?
But when there are British and money, there's marketing. Then there are the tuner on stage (before it enters the band) and the little man-to everything that is around, busy, checking the connections of the various cables, distributing water bottles (two per person), towels white-Cleanse sweat and sticking the sheets of paper-ladders with tape. All this for every member of the band.
And they are. He, Steve Hewitt , former drummer of Placebo , in fact, use the voice, tambourine and a guitar left-handed, then there is the first guitar (Steve Hove), the second guitar (Donald Ross), the woman bass player and electric bass (Teresa Morini), drummer (Keith York) and keyboard player, tambourine player and single-dish and, if necessary, also plays the electric cello (Laurie Ross).
There are two basic things: music and people. People because, as I said yesterday, this world and produces too little appreciated and, perhaps, in this case, has little to appreciate. Apart from personal considerations, keep up with all these concerts, not to mention all the discs, involves a great deal in terms of physical energy that money. And then the music. (???) Let's say a good pop-rock is very traditional, without shame or praise, certainly well executed but without heat. I do not get a shot to the heart, or a spray of sweat, nor a drop of blood or a dribble of saliva, or the scratch of a sound or flash of originality. Nothing at all. Only a string of banal notes, in full pre-made styles, old, dry, coated and laminated. I read other reviews where Love Amongst Ruin are combined to Depeche Mode (?) To New Order (??), to Kasabian (!) to Metallica (?!), to Can (??!!) and I wonder how it is possible.

Then I remember that when we are British and money, sometimes there are huge commercial operations. We needed?
