Rage Against the Machine, London 6th June

Just got my RATM ticket today and am really looking forward to the 6th!

Coldplay @ Wembley on 18th Sep

Although I am not a big fan of Coldplay, I could not say no to Kristoff's invite. The show was actually great, they played songs from all their previous albums and the atmosphere in general was cool.

Vortex Jazz Club, Dalston

Few weeks ago, Stephanie invited me to the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston - a place with personality. Totally recommended!

Tania Maria @ Ronnie Scott's. London 2009

What a great night, went to see Tania Maria @ Ronnie Scott's last Friday with Esnayder & Tim. Although she seemed to be a bit tired, the performance was still very good.

Sat 19/07, Lovebox, Manu Chao

Went to the Lovebox @ Victoria Park with the only intention of seeing Manu Chao and again what a gig... almost two hours of pure energy!!! By far the best band on stage (will have to see RATM though), in any case I am sure Manu is amongst the best performers... Groove Armada was OK

Friday (11/04/2008) - Jose Gonzalez

Went to see Jose Gonzalez on Shepherd's Bush Empire with Uriel and had such a good time. To start with, we dinned in a Chinnese place and bought the cheapest red wine ever, curiously not too bad at all. Then the gig, which was OK because I reckon, Jose didn't managed to comunicate with the public. Don't take me wrong, every single song sounded as if it were played straight from the CD, his voice was impressive but to a certain extend it wasn't touching enough. After the gig we headed towards Notting hill and had a couple of beers in the Champion, which was packed with the most fantastic girls. Back to Central London where we took a rickshaw around Soho streets. And couldn't finish it anyway different than in my place listening to old records and talking about the old good days!

Thursday night (20/03/08)

I always wanted to see The Cure live, so when I knew they were playing in Wembley Arena I thought it was the perfect chance. They have not played in London since 2006 and despite me having felt unwell the past two days thanks to something I ate, I ended up going to a remarkable gig. The lights, the stage, the music, everything was perfect! They played every single classic from their repertoire: Pictures of you - Lullaby - Just like heaven - The walk - Friday I'm in love - From the edge of the deep green sea - Never enough - Love song - Killing an Arab - 10-15 Saturday night - Boys, don't cry - Jumping someone else's train - A forest - Let's go to bed - The lovecats - Close to me - Fire in Cairo, etc... It was a trip through different époques of their music career and somehow of my own life. A dream come true!

Manu Chao - London, Brixton academy

Do I need to add that this is by far the best gig I have ever attended to? I bet Pau, the mad Chilean, enjoyed by far more than me; haj, and we thought we would not be able to get us tickets…

This small video was not recorded by me, but I found it on YouTube by rgpietro

Cerati's gig in London

At last Ale's sent me the pictures of last year's Gustavo Cerati's gig in London.

Gustavo Cerati used to be the front-man of one of the most influential bands in South America Soda Stereo. I started listening to them while being almost a child and ever since I’ve loved their music which reminds the British bands Cure and Smiths.
Cerati, now in a solo career, came last year to London to introduce his latest work, obviously everyone at the Forum sang along when he played songs such as Te para tres and Cosas imposibles.
