i'm dead... yesterday went to montreux for the pop rock concert and got back at 3:30... but it was a damn good concert... too bad josie couldn't make it, so i ended up going with kyle...

zorg - a swiss band - was doing their usual stuff... mellow rock... i already saw them earlier at caribana, but stil there is a difference between caribana and montreux... the bass player is amazing... bass drum on right foot, tambourine on left foot, keys/piano with right hand and bass with left hand... all at the same time... he is the musical brain behind zorg... while the guitarist is only strumming chords and not doing solos and stuff... but prety cool music... got to buy their cd...

turin brakes... they tuned it down and play acoustic... olly on rhythm guitars, gale on lead guitars, both electric acoustics with really crisp sound and a guy playing a grand piano and keys... oh and sometimes the guitar techie helps with some percussion/tambourines... but the concert was really intimate and the sounds were amazing... songs like long distance, pain killer, emergency 72 all sounded really good...

stereophonics... full band... kelly jones, richard jones, stuart cable and a bunch of other musicians... but they rocked... kelly is everything in the band... he writes, produces, plays guitar, does the solos, and his voice is stereophonics' identity... but the rock star is stuart cable... in a time when drummers are going for simple, he has a huge drum kit with a double bass... 'stuart' on one and 'cable' on the other one... and his drumming is amazing... always trying to be funny behind the drums but he can really bang the drums...

nada surf... indie band from the states who are more famous in europe than back home... maybe it has to do with how perfect their french is? anyway, they also rocked... and the guy gave a speech in french on the difference between benjamin franklin and gwb... no guesses who he disses...

all 4 bands were amazing, and now i'm dead tired...
