Blue to black

The Atabal Hall in Biarritz celebrates its tenth anniversary, as this October we have the opportunity to see a lot of concerts. Last October 23, Joseba B. Lenoir Gang was on the stage of the Atabal. On his journey as a soloist, we have met Lenoir with different formulas and in recent times he returns with Ganga. Inside the vault, the battery and the bass of Willis Drummond, at the back of the scene, before them the members of Napoka Iria electric guitars, acoustic guitars, voices. Joseba B is located in the centre of the Navarros. Lenoir. Rooms like Atabal add quality to concerts (sound light). But the closeness to the public is lost. The concert becomes spectacular, the audience spectator. As you enter the room, people in the audience occupy the room, comfortably installed. After the scene, there is nothing. Only photographers. But for the Ganges the same thing. They have come to give a concert and we have to enjoy.

Lenoir picks up Gang pollite. Each one plays its role very well; a straight and free battery in the liver, decorating the songs' gaps. In the quick hits of the bass drum, the bass is also present: The impact "BUM!" goes into the chest and goes up to the head, to create that balance of forever, just before.

I don’t need you in the song, a regular rhythm created by the battery generates “frenzy”. Like some zombies, the audience is in the concert, with their head high.

About the scene now; guitars, tuning. Although Joseba has fulfilled her role as Lead, the other guitars are also there, from time to time, with a simple assistant, caressing the notes more freely. On Joseba's own, another guitar comes back with her.

Three voices of antiquity feel singing from the bowels. A terrible whisper…

And our protagonist? Domesticated with jeans, the scene wobbles in the middle like the marine plants pushed by the harnesses. We have a blank voice, a good presence without movies, guitar with body, good riffs and lonely.

A version of Itoiz sung by Miren (very well). Problems with tuning with Joseba’s guitar… Yet! He likes to throw the strings and make his guitar suffer!

We came to the end and pulled out a special, white guitar with a strange shape. Also a special refinement (I think D,A,D,G,A,D). The Vault sings an instrumental song, of which they are guessed in intensity. The best time of Eneko's concert. The impressive work of the battery in this song must be highlighted. It's over. I went forward two or three meters without realizing it.

They have it all blind and naked and I think the concert is over there. My feeling, as always… in these rooms, as soon as we enter the concert, is over…

A concert I've loved. Now I'd like to see you in a bar, without scenes, to directly collect the impact of the energy you emit.
