Marah

Dice Nick Hornby que Marah tienen el mejor directo del mundo:
"Five or six years ago, a friend in Philly introduced me to a local band called Marah. Their first album had just come out, on an indie label, and it sounded great to me, like the Pogues reimagined by the E Street Band, full of fire and tunes, and soul and banjos. The band is young, but their referents, the music they love, is getting on a bit, and in an attempt to address this problem, they attempted their ancient fans with a noisy modern rock album. They succeeded in the alienation, but not in finding a new audience, so they have been forced to retreat and retrench and rethink. Anyway, the two shows I saw that week were spectacular, as good as anything, I've seen with the possible exception of the Clash in '79, Prince in '85 and Springsteen on the River tour. Dave and Serge played the Fiddler's Elbow as if it were Giants Stadium, and even though it was acoustic, they just about blew the place up. Usually you watch, and listen, and drift off, and the band plays well or doesn't and it doesn't matter much either way. It can actually be a very lonely experience. But I felt a part of the music, and a part of the people I'd gone with, and, to cut this short before the encores, I didn't want to read for about a fortnight afterwards."



La última vez vinieron a la Sala Sol y -sencillamente- el público no estuvo a la altura. Esperemos que hoy, en un auditorio grande, haya comunión. Villaverde. 22:00. 0€.
