I edited my post by mistake, so some things were left out.. :) ..to answer your questions:
The venue is a fixed-seat venue, but there are a open floor close to the stage for those of us who prefer to stand up close throughout the gig. It’s a cinema – no balcony. I think you’ll see the stage wherever you choose to be through the gig.
Reine is back in force and does what he does best – dropping the sickest vibes but hiding it to promote the rest of the band instead of himself. Olaf did an amazing job on his debut gig for the band – he has plenty of experience and felt right at home on stage – sharing smiles and replies with Bent (who seemed pleased with his performance last night).
Short review of last nights gig by a psychonaut who suck at remembering setlists:
The Aladdmin Scene venue is a beautiful cinema with a small bar (housing the merch stand) and a old cinema room. The seats are big, comfy and leathery with built-in holders for beers! I’m unsure of max capacity on the venue, but i guess around 600 people. Last night i think 200 people witnessed the band.
The band was of course Bent and Snah with Reine fleshing out the sound with keys, guitar and backing vocals. New man on deck was Olaf – an excellent drummer from such bands as BigBang, Needlepoint, Fra Det Onde and Møster. His style is – in my opinion – a bit less jazzy than Tomas’ and Kenneths, so i felt last night brought a bit of Geb back into the sound.
That felt reflected in the setlist, too which included several Geb-era songs. The concert started with the bands sitting down and doing an acoustic part which included Sideway Spiral and Mad Sun if i’m not mistaken. They soon started to electrify the setlist and the songs turned heavier, darker and i started to space out as i’d love to do on these gigs. But i was brought back to reality when i heard the Nerve Tattoo intro – that put a smile on my face! Then they just flowed on for 2,5 hours. A exemplary concert with smiles all around. They ended the set with a HEAVY version of 577, and only did on encore. But what an encore – Taifun!
A great gig with a great band in a fantastic venue. Have fun out there the coming weeks when you’ll space out with our magnificent guys!
