Slachthuis 10 mei, Money & the Man and Magnetic Spacemen
Developed today. Friday seen. I saw lovely bands at the Slachthuis in Haarlem: Money & the Man and Magnetic Spacemen. Both very energetic and good.
Albini
This week Steve Albini passed away. For someone of my generation an icon so a shock.
In addition to musician (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac) and producer (Pixies, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, you name it), he was a music industry critic. He explained how the big record labels abuse musicians but also explained to musicians that they should make the music they want and not let the record companies push them around. Musicians should make music they think is cool and perform.
He explained that in plain language, as square and hermetic as his music.
A striking person I will miss.
In 2017, I took these photos at Shellac’s performance in Vera, Groningen.
Royal Blood’s Figure It Out, a classic
I got to know the band Royal Blood only a year or two ago. The vocals have something of Jack White about them. The music is heavy alternative punky rock, perhaps somewhat in the Muse genre. I thought the band would have at least two rhythm guitarists, but bassist Mike Kerr produces all the guitar sound, assisted by a few cabinets and pedals.
Figure It Out is a classic.
