Rocket to Arrive on time and I sling directly to the bar because there is a time out for wolves. The evening begins, however, quite a bit 'after, around 23, when the first band takes the stage, the Wyns, an indie band composed of five boys Luino. They have a repertoire of great pieces that are catchy and sometimes very exciting, certainly the five guys know their stuff. Their suond is a mix of Strokes and Editors, very Maccabees. A good half-hour live that opens a great evening. There is already a good bit 'of people to listen, but the concert hall is not yet complete.
Bob The latter are in the box, have been in three (now a bit ') but it sounded as if a thousand, can give a variety of sounds incredible. Element that distinguishes them is very good rhythmic base, a battery powerful and important, with arrangements that make you really gassing. In addition to propose many of their pieces, this evening we also have a great cover, "The Shadowplay" by Joy Division, which perform very well. Sounds good and a good involvement from the public.
After their performance must give way to the wild. The Vomit Tongues are the sound that a clean break with the previous groups, led garage punk (the most violent and casino) in the outskirts of the Rocket, and they rocked in the true sense of the word. The singer re-shake and shake, the microphone makes splash everywhere and eventually breaks, so much so that at some point we sing inside but there is almost nothing. Then, not content, pull the barrel to the absurd battery plate ... the auction after a while 'yields and ends up breaking even that, so go on to play the last piece with the drummer who can not use one of two dishes. There, in front, between the feet of the singer and those of the first under the stage, stands a bottle of beer (no, they were more than one) at the end of concert is not empty, and more. However, the audience that follows them is not the usual ever, there is a mixture of excitement and embarrassment ... the excitement when there was a concert of Vomit, is the fact that you're there because you know that you can enjoy a full show raw, pure and wild, able to make you appreciate the "dark side" of live music in Milan. But the embarrassment on the faces of some of these had not yet seen and is probably due to the fact that the boys did not send (this evening and at least for me) that something more: perhaps you missed the taste, true intent, no longer pose as I saw them in the past for the first time ... seems that they should split the world but in reality they can not break a lot ... if microphones & co. Account to see them as genuine in the future.
However, over the live of Vomit Tongues, one can see easily that everywhere you turn the Rocket is virtually sealed by the people, bar and concert hall are packed. The latest to go on stage are M! R! M (which stands for My Rockin 'Mother). Two young boys who ignite the room with a suond and aggressive driving. In utter mess of people running their pieces, all marked by a trail post punk with new wave wakes. A rich voice creates an evocative effect, distorted effects cause agitation (the good one!). What's M! R! M is an explosive mixture of chaos, speed, violence and heat, the pieces they play tonight are all super-quick. Very fun and other people on a crowded ... only tiny flaw is perhaps the fact that after a while 'I thought I heard the same old stuff ... but I'm sure the next time I will listen more carefully and repent of what I just said.
Gone are live, the Rocket does not appear to be empty, indeed, who out of laziness or lack of interest had remained at the bar, now flows under the console like a raging river and I sincerely so many people taking to the dance that Djset went on until almost 3 am I had never view.
