i know it’s been a while since i last wrote but a lot of things have been happening around me.
First of all i would like to share my deepest excitement about the bands that are going to visit Bulgaria this year.
As some of you might know the festival Spirit of Burgas, was quite an event for the Boring (with capital B) town Bourgas can be at times.
Last year’s performances on the sand of the beach in the wonderful black sea coast rocked the stage from dust till dawn.
Yeah, Faith No More had a rocking time with the audience but their performance wasn’t as good as the one of Fun Lovin’ Criminals or the PERFECT germans (as a friend of mine would say “Ja ja Gustav, macht es schneller”) from De Phazz.
In general the performances were ok. Then followed Madonna, MetallicA, Guano Apes (another kick-ass band from Germany).
As far as i heard Madonna was a very huge event… which was not unexpected. Come on, we all know that if there’s a star in this world that can make you not hear the way she’s singing, that would be Madonna.
Anyways… enough for last year…
What’s up for this year’s music events – just a few names:
1. Rammstein – i guess there isn’t a band in Bulgaria or throughout Europe in general (if not in the whole world) that can make such an impact with the audience as Rammstein do!
2. MetallicA – good “old” metal monsters. They will be visiting Bulgaria for the 3rd time and i’m sure they still have much more to show to us.
3. Heaven&Hell
4. Slayer ! YAY! A couple of friends from the UK will be coming especially for this gig!
5. Alice in Chains the only thing you can say about them is
“Heaven beside you… Hell within
And you think you have it still, heaven inside you”
6. Megadeth
The above six will be part of the Sonicsphere festival that’s going to happen in Sofia, Vasil Levski stadium on June 22 – June 23, 2010.
So Sofia, be prepared…
We are still all awaiting patiently for the names that will rock the stage of Spirit of Burgas (some of us already know them but promised not to tell this before the official announcement)… THEREFORE i’m just going to give you a small hint:
“I’ve got sunshine in a bag, and I’m useless, but not for long, cuz my futures, comin on.”
or this one
“Change my pitch up…..Smack my bitch up”
Anyways i didn’t really say who that is … i know the rest of the names as well but these i will hold for me until the end of This week.
Take care guys – hopefully i’ll write in the near future again
3 days ago i went to a concert i considered would be a nice-not-as-religious-as-it-was-experience. Honestly, i’m a little disappointed, Harlem Gospel Choir… it was ok, but it wasn’t what i exepcted. I am amused how “church” music can be so “disrespectful” to the audience that is listening to it.
The event was held in the Hall of the Burgas Opera and here are some photos from it:
Hey, i don’t mind them, this is a choir very popular and maybe very commercial with their performances with Michael Jackson, but i think they could be much much much better. And it sounds to me pretty unserious to praise God in such a commercial way… no offense to their audience and fans – this is just my opinion. My understanding of church music is this of the Sofia Boys Choir:
or this of the Angelite Choir…
and not
What amused me was that in one of the songs they performed they started to sing parts of “Sex Machine by James Brown“… WTF ?! This is a church choir, god damned!
