Kafka-esque
March 9, 2008 – 10:22 pmThought I would give a little concert review, after recommending the Kafka concert a couple of days ago. And, to be honest, the show was not quite what I said it would be. Apparently it was not Kafka’s album release party for its second album. Not sure where I got that from. Weird mistake to make.
Kafka did play a short set, as part of Badabie’s usual busy night of shows. Well, it was a lot different than what I expected. Last time, I compared their music to Portishead. And their first album was very quiet and moody.
On Saturday night, however, they were very loud. Much more Evanescence than Portishead. They played just four songs, and none of them was mellow at all. Lots of guitar and distortion and very, very goth.
The singer said she was not feeling so good, and the first three songs of the set were pretty subdued, but you could see her beginning to loosen up and get into it toward the end. But it did not last very long. All in all, it was an okay show, but nothing overwhelming.
I’ll try to choose something more fun next weekend. Looks like there is a lot coming next weekend, too.
