thuesday i watched SIENA ROOT in the arena. if you like deep purple from how they sounded in the early 70s, then you should check out that band.
they had a tough challenge, because topping Dead Meadow, the band i watched on monday was nearly impossible. there were even less people than on monday, i begin to fear that the arena will have to cancel their stoner events if so few people are interested in them.
if i could be convinced that there is a god i'd pray that they continue.
well, anyways:
the band had another obstacle which was that their singer had to return home because of a death case in the family. for other genres this would mean the end of the tour, but as they are doing psychedelic they just decided to do an instrumental tour.
i had my doubts if it could be good, because thats not what they usually do so but the concert was quite ok. yes, nothing compared to dead meadow, but they put effort into the show and made a good gig.
for 2 songs they even had a sitar player playing along with them. first song he accompanied was awful:
he wasnt in rhytm.
i am not sure if i can blame him, from his signs he did i'd say he didnt hear himself properly.
the second song he did with them was awesome.
again, like on monday nearly all songs played 10+ mins. musically they did a good performance and also techically there is nothing to complain about.
afterwards i bought a cd. supporting the band and stuff you know....
i am one of those idealists that like to buy CDs, especially to get unpopular bands supported. on the way home we listened to it on the stereo of the car.
of course the singer was on the record. when he began his lyrics we then looked at each other and said synchronously: "i dont like the voice" ;)
still the album is good. especially with that singer they sound very much like deep purple in the 70s. which isnt a bad thing. unfortunately i dig deep purple when they were founded, but not those later phases ;)
thats it for now, so long
