ZDM do ZDB with YACHT ON TOUR FOREVER
YACHT was everything that we expected and then some. Although seriously jet-lagged as per their entry in Twitter, Jona Bechtolt & Claire Evans were engaging and involving, always teasing the audience and even doing a time out to show were they live (address and all) and run a quick Q&A session. The venue, of course, allowed this since it's a small room for 60 people max, so in retrospective and having in consideration that DFA is bound to make YACHT big, last week's musical treat was a privileged one off event. All songs were reworked/revamped (perhaps there were some new ones added into the pot) to suit all dancing needs: from bouncing, to rolling on the floor, to swaying and ending in slam dancing. Yes, there was a bit of slam dancing, induced by Jona himself, to the sound of Women of the world which closed the event.
Jona & Claire, even though we prolly won't visit you guys in Portland, we DO believe in you and will proudly sport YACHT's t-shirt. Even Z did his usual routine of leaning against the nearest wall whilst nodding his head - that's Z doing some serious dancing according to what I was told - so extra brownie points for that!

As for the opening act, Calhau: o caminho da cabra, well I'm lost for words. Firstly, because I was slightly drunk. Not as drunk not to remember and analyse it afterwards, ie the following day, but drunk enough to be a complete cunt and tear the artists on stage down. (bad, I know, apologies!). Secondly, I'm weary of any kind of experimental noise electronica that sounds like remotely similar to Xiu Xiu. Thirdly, it sounded liked Xiu Xiu having a bad beard/hair day. Lastly, anything in which the climax is a giant floating turd on stage is just out of context to say the least, hence my personal motto: Music better suited for conceptual art performances are better off on their own, rather than on an line up with straight forward music acts for the simple reason that the crowds mind will be elsewhere and looking forward for something completely different! ZDB is to blame.

3 noites depois, começo a relembrar com saudade a mega p****a.Talvez deixe crescer a barba, em homenagem aos caminhantes.
PS- Z questiona o idioma com essência de chá... e orgulhoso abana a cabeça à espera do tal brownie em forma de pontos que ofereceste aos yacht :)
Pensava que eles eram Gnomos com um fetish por barbas e roupa vermelha. (hummm...)
PS - O Z questiona por está habituado a idiomas com essência a caril, deve ser por isso...
aleluia...ao menos consegui ouvir algum feedback do concerto...que pelos vistos foi uma treta pegada :)...digo isto por inveja...porque acabei por n ir.
o melhor da coisa é que ganhei um bilhete (pela Flur), mas deixei de ir para pôr música num spot, e no meio disto tudo acabei por ficar em casa constipado, e com o termómetro enfiado no...na boca...(tenho de comprar daqueles que fazem a leitura à distância...sempre são mais higiénicos)...
pelo menos estavas lá tu a fazer claque...sem cartolina em riste...felizmente...
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Paxeco!! Imperdoável! Fiquei sem a minha cerveja!!
Daaaaaaaaaaaarling! It sounded nice.
Though i would probably the one joining Z in the corner but eagerly following the head bouncing movement! Just give me a beer and someone to diss and I'll be fine. You know how easy I am.
Miss you guys loads.
E porque é que a cogumelo escreve no teu blog e nao no meu?
paxxxeco Não perdeste nada... foi péssimo... muito mau... (isto é para não te sentires mal, porque foi de facto genial!) Ao menos que a constipação já esteja curada!
P.A. I can't help but wonder that you might actually be dancing. It was that fun.
Diz que disse que o menino não atende o telefone... diz que disse... em todo o caso a cogumelo escrevia no blog dela. E o Z também. Estou farto daquele maldito flamingo rosa choque!!!! (esta tirada é me familiar...)
Pois... diz que sim! Diz que disse que o menino achou melhor nao atender o telefone porque nao queria falar de determinadas coisas nem recordar umas quantas outras.
E tens toda a razao. Já tiravam a merda do flamingo!
