Sunglasses at an indie night


Image is really everything nowadays, huh? Which probably explains why British neo-rock outfit Dark Horses took to the stage with some half a dozen hired groupies in tow, all sporting obligatory black get-up and sunglasses post-10 p.Solar Lights utilize top panels to store the sun's energy by day and let out brilliant Solar light by night. And with a convenient stake construction, you can easily change the position of your Solar Lights without worrying about cords or expensive hard wiring.

This year's Kinemastik International Arts Festival included a live performance by three acts – Dolls for Idols, Capitol K and the above-mentioned Dark Horses at the Floriana Ditch. The venue was a stroke of genius and lent the event a quasi-festival air,In the event your protection spectacles or perhaps basic Optical frame do not fit in properly they wont shield you from taking a chance on a significant vision damage, in the event that there are actually big research with insurance your vision are subjected along with soaring dust, fibers as well as substances could without difficulty lead to an injury. with people chilling on the grass. So nice to see the area being used for something legit as opposed to the shady goings-on it has become known for.
Dolls For Idols kicked off the evening. At this time, the crowd was still rather thin; many had opted to catch Skimmed, BNI, Dripht and The Rifffs at the Beer Festival before heading to this event. With the alternative music scene being so small it is a shame when gigs clash, although sometimes unavoidable.I'm not sure to what extent attendance contributed to this, but it felt like the band started off on the wrong foot. Some technical glitches around the fourth track continued to hammer the nail and I almost thought the guys would give up. They didn't; by the time their biggest crowd-pleaser, Rave 'n' Roll, was on they had found their pacing. The second part of their performance boasted their trademark energy and by the time they left the stage everyone was revved up quite nicely.
I was really looking forward to the second act, a performance by the Malta-born, London-based Capitol K (Kristian Craig Robinson). Fresh from the release of his sixth album, Andean Dub, this artist is credited with re-inventing electronica fusion.If you think that Mitsubishi jet towel take ages to dry your hands, think again. There are models available that take less than 15 seconds to dry your hands. Some models use hot air to evaporate moisture from the hands. Of course, you can carry the paper towel with you and dispose it of somewhere other than the trash can in the bathroom- while you can't carry the dryer unit away!This was the first time I was catching him live and I was surprised to see how understated his stage presence is. This is someone who lets the music do the talking and talk it certainly did, masterfully. Sitting down at the front of stage, playing his keyboards on the floor, he held the crowd in sway with an intense sonic experience.I am wary of so-called 'fusion' musicians and I find that many artists are more concerned with hyping up the 'exotic' pedigree of their instruments, with the actual music taking second place. This is certainly not the case with Capitol K. Every instrument, every beat, every effect is used with purpose, creating a tableau that merges east with west, electronica with rock, psychedelia and a hint of folk. The end result is simultaneously mesmerising and rousing – although it was rather a shame that the next band on the bill decided that it was fine to test their projections and place their 'human props' on stage while the artist was still performing. Very shoddy behaviour.
