foals forever //

pojechałam do warszawy spokojna. widziałam foals już 4 razy i mimo, że to jeden z trzech moich ulubionych zespołów nie odczuwałam większej ekscytacji. przeglądając setlisty uznałam, że wszystko już widziałam i koncert wyobrażałam sobie jako idealnie zagrany, ale bez większych niespodzianek.

a potem oni wyszli na scenę. kolejno: jimmy, jack, edwin, walter i yannis. usłyszałam krzyk tłumu i pierwsze dźwięki 'prelude'. kiedy zaczynali grać 'total life forever' byłam już zaczarowana. czasami odrywałam wzrok od sceny i patrzyłam na moich znajomych, na obcych ludzi i miałam to przyjemne wrażenie, że ich też zaczarowali. kilka osób przyznało się do tego, że niektóre kawałki na żywo wzruszyły ich do łez (blue blood, milk, late night). ku zaskoczeniu (głównie mojemu) zagrali 'hummer', ze standardowej koncertowej dwunastki zrobili czternastkę i zeszli ze sceny. kiedy spotkaliśmy się po koncercie na palarni panowała cisza, jedyne co potrafiliśmy z siebie wydusić to 'ja pierdolę'. 

dzięki dla moich kochanych ziomeczków, dla steven'a i tary oraz ogromne propsy dla genialnej polskiej publiki, która dała się porwać. //

i would like to say thank you to my awesome friends for all the fun, steven and tara for letting me in. 

and for the band for the western feeling.//

heart+soul part one //

well, i could write a lot. everyone is writing a lot about the show, the record, the band, so you know it all.
i will keep it simple. goes like this:

i am very fucking proud of myself because i did not escape from under the stage to hide in a church when brmc entered the stage.

here are some shoots (of robert levon been) i took in berlin. i will post some more shortly, but so far i have this and i couldn't wait to share them. stay tuned. for more berlin photos visit my lovely and talented friend's page: 28mm.

and one more thing for tonight. one of many thank yous i want to say.

grant, thank you for making my dream come true //

he is a hurricane //

a cold winter night a few months ago. i was sitting bored, watching some random videos on youtube. emotionless, until i heard this: 

a few views later i was singing along. a few days later i bought 'sunken ships' and the record is on my ipod ever since. a few months later i took my camera and went to berlin. i had to see this lovely young wizard live. the lights turned off, the steam covered the stage and the first thing that i saw was a pair of glowing creepers, than the owner of these peculiar footwear - asbjørn. 

at first when the sound hit my ears i didn't know what should i do. i hardly remembered i was supposed to take photos in here. i stood there hypnotized by the way asbjørn dances around like no one was watching while singing his songs flawless. never before have i seen someone who is preforming this way. honest, straight from a young man's heart. 

guess i wasn't the only one who caught the vibe. the german audience (which i consider to be a very tough one) got carried away as well. some of them even too far and thought it would be cool to sit on the stage during the show. asbjørn coped with that with a simple, classy 'hello to the lady'. well, no surprise. no attention seekers can dim the true talent on stage and i think (and hope) asbjørn know about this well.

i usually don't write in here, but damn i am impressed. all of the songs sounded perfect. she is a hurricane, bones, the criminal, hunger, ears, the new song - pure perfection. and how does he manage to sing and dance like that at the same time. i am looking forward for a new material and a next show. maybe poland this time, huh? 

anyways

congratulation, asbjørn. you are a hurricane. //

tales of girls, boys & marsupials//

The Wombats can always make me smile. So they did last Monday. I barely could concentrate on shooting while watching TORD, Murph and llama Dan on stage. All I wanted to do was to dance and to hug them all one by one. Besides how the fuck could I concentrate when the second song was Kill The Director? How could I while seeing their happy faces? How could I while singing out loud? God how I love this band!

Here is a message to Tord: Jeg elskar deg! Jeg er ikke gift! and also Jeg snakker ikke Norsk...

i'm not sure//

Crushing into Renton is always a nice surprise. I did not have a foggiest idea who is a supporting act for The Wombats and I was in kind of 'I don't care mood'. So I was chatting with some random girl, smoking when they got on stage. Imagine my face when I've overheard the familiar chords. If you noticed a girl with a analogue camera running crazy through the club, oh well that was me (with 'Hey Girl' playing in my head) . But I've made it.

It was good to see you lads.

bow down to the queens//

When Paulake told me this gig has also been sold out, my answer was 'We'll get there. I don't know how, but we will'. I have never been more determined. I was searching for a way to get there for over two months and when the day has come we both were on a guest list of Queens Of The fucking Stone Age.

I' ve promised to a lovely person who got us there, not to tell how and who have made it happened and I'm about to keep this promise. If you read this - thank you. Both Paulake and I are grateful and we feel very lucky that you gave us chance to be there that night. Maybe for you it is nothing but for us - unforgettable.

the naked and famous//

The Naked And Famous are one of these few bands I loved from the first listening. One of these few I could travel miles to see live. And finally one of these few bands it's worth travelling for.

So I went to Brussels to catch them.
