Sometimes, there’s music, which sends shivers down my spine. That friday, I was able to hear something like that.
Lisa Papineau.
I knew, that there must be a supporting band. But I must admit, that I’ve never really heard something about Lisa Papineau. That little woman, which changes the mood, when she enters the stage. With her two musicians, she made me stare at her. That enormously wonderful voice, it’s amazing. Their 1-hour-show brought me to the conclusion, that Lisa Papineau is a breath-taking band. Her smoothly and strong voice, these small parts of electronical stuff. After half a minute of the first song, I was happy, that I got the possibility to hear these band supporting the American Music Club. The most wonderful song was “Out To You”, which is the introsong on the first LP “Night Moves”. I enjoyed every minute of that concert.
I’m bleeding out my heart, until it’s dry.
American Music Club.
The word “cult” is used too often. But the American Music Club is one of the few active bands, which can be called a cult-band. With the opener “Only Love Can Set You Free” (LP: Love Songs For Patriots) the found the way to my heart. America’s greatest living lyricist (The Guardian), Mark Eitzel, is amazing. His appearance, his look (something between Yusuf Islam (full beard) and Pete Doherty (hat)). And his voice? Wonderful. If you don’t know the music at all, you wouldn’t expect such a great voice from that man.
You say that weakness is only
a way to give your heart to the enemy
The most amazing song of that concert gave me the creeps. The song is called “The Windows To The World”. It’s really breathtaking and I’m looking forward to the day, when the new album “The Golden Age” will be part of my music-collection.
And.
At half past seven, I was the first one who bought a ticket to that concert. The first fifteen minutes, I was nearly alone in that waiting-room. It last one hour, till Lisa Papineau started the concert. And the location? It was a small cinema, 20 kilometres away from my home. There was place for, I think 140 people or something like that. It was a very intimate concert. I sat in the third-row seat. It was the most wonderful concert I’ve ever seen.
After the concert, I was able to speak to Lisa Papineau and we really shook hands. She’s a very nice woman, seems a little bit shy, but her amazing voice is so great. And, I must admit, I bought two CDs (big Sir and the first Lisa Papineau-LP “Night Moves). And, then I spoke to the new bassist of the American Music Club, to Sean and the new drummer Steve. These very nice men were so nice and funny. And yeah, I bought three CDs, and a shirt, as you can see at the picture. And well, that shirt was signed by Sean, Steve, Vudi and Mark!
Can you sign my T-shirt, please?
- Yeah. Sure.
Your show was amazing.
- Yeah. Sure.
Now, I’m in that famous union of people who hate Mark Eitzel. But hey, not really. I love his music and his lyrics and I’m so happy that Lisa Papineau was a part of that concert too. It was a wonderful friday. Thanks to Kino Ebensee and the organizers.
