Waw, where
to start ?!
I’m just
back from the very first London show of Arkitekt and I was blown away!! I
really mean it! It took place at the Enterprise near Camden (North London),
very small venue with a lovely & talented lady as their support act, Rebecca
Rothwell (http://www.myspace.com/rebeccarothwell). Then Noel & Richard came
on stage with Mike Hogan and a
drummer (don’t know his name soooooorry). They started the gig with Black Hair,
probably my favourite song of the EP, then played some Mono band songs:
Here is the
Setlist (hope the songs names are right):
-Black Hair
-Home
-Armies Of
Mice
-Breathe
-Shakes
-Indecisive
-Sleep Song
-Night’s End
-Waves
To be honest with you, I thought that some songs would
seem weaker than some others but no! The whole set was awesome. Richard’s voice
is incredible, captivating, full of emotions and is totally in harmony with
Noel’s guitar, so powerful, leading, bewitching… The combination of all of this
is mind blowing!I sometimes closed my eyes and I was like taken somewhere else…
I lived the music, which hasn’t happen to me since a Sigur Ros concert a couple
of years ago! So I really insist guys, if some of you are around London on
October 18th or November the 6th come to The Enterprise
as they are performing twice again this year, you won’t regret it. Maybe it’s a
small venue, a new band but the music is huge & it’s just a few quids
Thank You guys, I had an amazing evening, nice
chatting with you afterwards and looking forward to seeing you very soon!
Once again, Thank you for the music….
