Amazing Songs & Other Delights #28 – The I’m Looking For… edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #28 is The I’m Looking For… edition and airs tomorrow, Monday 6th, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: https://yeyeradio.com/ (or on the app). I had no idea what I was looking for, but ended up with 16 songs about looking, searching for, not looking for, maybe it is found, maybe not and whatnot. The songs choice is very ecletic, from The Chi-lites to Iggy And The Stooges throught The Cramps, Belle and Sebastian, Eminem, Rádio Macau, Fat White Family. And, of course, that 80s every-indie-kid-and-radio-dj-hit Looking for Lewis and Clark by The Long Ryders. The show starts smooth, goes by a 80s-90s cult bands phase, with a twist, and a drop of 00s, says hi to the big names, yes, there is hip-hop toos, tags along rock’and’roll and dance music and ends with a big blast. Everything a proper June show must have. 🙂

Lighting Bolt – GNration, Braga, 31.05.2022.

Braga. GNration’s BlackBox completely crammed with clouds of flesh compressed in the heat of anticipation. The two Brians who make up Lighting Bolt take the stage. Gibson, discreet, almost indifferent, dons the four-string sulfuric engine; Chippendale, his face grimacing, giving him the air of something between an extra in Night of the Living Dead and a spokesperson for some urban guerrilla group, fits himself behind the drums (and the microphone). The room’s lungs fill to the rhythmic bass/drums cadence with Horsepower (Fantasy Empire, 2015) has an opening, rumbling over Chippendale’s electrified, declarative voice, lending an urgent tension to the rarefied air.The chaotic convulsion of bodies is carried away by the sound tsunami of Lightning Bolt’s noise-hardcore. The incendiary debt carries on; Air Conditioning (Sonic Citadel, 2019), Dead Cowboy (Hypermagic Mountain, 2005), The Metal East (Fantasy Empire), (…), leading to the ironed encore, Colossus (Earthly Delights, 2009).

One returns home with the eyes of the ears filled.

Braga. BlackBox do GNration completamente lotada com nuvens de carne comprimindo-se no calor da expetativa. Os dois Brians que formam os Lighting Bolt sobem ao palco. Gibson, discreto, quase indiferente, veste o motor sulfúrico de quatro cordas; Chippendale, com o rosto entrapado, emprestando-lhe o ar de qualquer coisa entre figurante de Night of the Living Dead e porta-voz de um qualquer grupo de guerrilha urbana, arruma-se atrás da bateria (e do microfone). Os pulmões da sala enchem-se na cadência rítmica baixo/bateria com Horsepower (Fantasy Empire, 2015) a abrir o concerto, ribombando sobre a voz eletrificada de Chippendale, declamativa, emprestando uma tensão urgente ao ar rarefeito. A convulsão caótica dos corpos é levada pelo tsunami sonoro do noise-hardcore dos Lightning Bolt. O débito incendiário sucede-se; Air Conditioning (Sonic Citadel, 2019), Dead Cowboy (Hypermagic Mountain, 2005), The Metal East (Fantasy Empire), (…), desembocando no encore tirado a ferros, Colossus (Earthly Delights, 2009).

Regressa-se a casa com os olhos dos ouvidos cheios.
