After a couple of weeks from the last live date of Klimt1918 held at the Piper Club
of the capital,
in occasion of the festival 'Rome Undersound', unfortunately I haven't found
anything yet about that night, any live report or short comment, neither live clips. Perhaps I didn't check
carefully, but actually I didn't
 neither have enough spare time to do it. But I
had quite enough time for listening to all the other bands from the bill of the
festival and I'd like to mention a couple of them in particular even here, and
namely
Confield
(dark/new wave sonorities that in some passages also reminded me of some things
from which even our Klimt1918 adored have clearly drawn inspiration for all
their records, though the voice is definitely more dark-rock) and Qali
(with some killer female vocals, combined with male ones, for a sensational and
dancing mix);
some steps below the remaining couple of bands,
Cat Claws
(female vocals even here, but musically more indie/noise)
and San La
Muerte, still very young and unrefined, in my opinion. Just in case you'd also like give 'em
a listening...
By the way, there are some news the same, since about one week before this last live
date, Marco and Francesco have been interviewed for a radio from Rome -
Radio Cittā Futura
- and from this chat we could've finally known something about the next
studio album of Klimt1918: it seems that the new songs are taking shape. Marco has defined 'em the progressive evolution of what has been produced in the past
years, adding that the band is exploring further on those soft and ambient vibes of the
last ''Just in
case we'll never meet again'' and that probably we're gonna experiencing another
change of sound, hoping they'll be able to enter the studio within summertime
and releasing the new album within the end of this year as well (thanks Nightdriver
for this great news!).

And finally we've also found a live clip taken
from the gig that Klimt1918 held at the end of january at
Salamandra1
in Barcelona
(thanx Nightdriver!),
for
''Passive'',
by Haterwolf, song that has been clearly rearranged if compared to the times of
the debut promo dated 2000, ''Secession makes post-modern music'',
a thing that none attending their concerts had ever made notice, though is a
song they've already started proposing live for about one year and half by now.
It's a just pity that the audio is very bad.
As to the fact that lately the band is also proposing the track ''Dopoguerra''
alive, I consider it a kind of tribute to the their sensational 2nd album
released exactly 5 years ago. In fact the band is gonna play once more at Piper Club
in Rome
(on Thursday, 22/04/2010),
where they recently played supporting White Lies,
in occasion of the festival 'Rome Undersound',
and even this new live date makes me think very much to a 'celebration' of the
time passed from the release of ''Dopoguerra''. It's just a pity I won't be
able to attend their performance neither this time.

Let's close the month with some nice live clips of
Klimt1918 in occasion of their last gigs, at
Ritmo y compās
in Madrid, with three clips by TheVane74, respectively of
''Skygazer'',
''Suspense
music'' and
''They were wed by the sea'',
and another one by SurdicForest, of
''True love is the oldest fear''.
And there is also the clip by gattoh of
''Snow of '85'', taken from the supporting date to White Lies,
held at Piper Club
in Rome the past week! I also found a couple of live reports in Italian taken
from Nerds Attack! and
Il Cibicida talkin' about Klimt1918 who opened for
the English act,
one saying that they mainly performed songs taken from the last album, but even
''Passive'' taken from the debut promo and the other one simply saying that the
band was a very pleasant surprise.

Such a great live news, for all those lucky ones
who can be there
(the show is sold out!!!), and for the band
especially: Klimt1918 will open the show of the English act
White Lies, who's gonna
play in Rome, at Piper Club,
next Thursday, the 18th of february!!!
I just wanted to also exactly report the set-list of the band during the
supporting date for
Dredg in Rome, the
past october 2009, and I thank Marco
Z1918 for informing me (better late than
never :P ): ''Passive'', ''Just in case we'll never meet again'',
''Skygazer'', ''Ghost of a tape listener'', ''Suspense music''
e ''Dopoguerra''.

Some live pictures found on flickr about the
show of Klimt1918 held at
Ritmo y compās,
in Madrid, the past 23rd of january: those by
Isaac Rojo
(just three), by
scumfrog
(there are many here, as well as a slideshow and probably the most beautiful)
and by
ballener0
(even here there are several photos and a couple very nice and there is also the
set-list: ''The breathtaking days'',
''Passive'' - damned! :P - ''Skygazer'', ''Ghost of a tape listener'',
''True love is the oldest fear'', ''Just in case we'll never meet again''
- I can't believe!, ''Because of you tonight'', ''Suspense
music'', ''Parade of adolescence'', ''The Graduate'' - with a dedication in
Spanish! - ''Dopoguerra'' - that would've had to be preeceded by ''Nightdriver'',
but cancelled on the set-list - and for the encore ''Snow of '85''
and ''They were wed by the sea''). So this time, if they've performed
exactly the tracks mentioned on the set-list, they've really turned out in
playing at least a couple of songs more and different than usual!!!

A huge happy 2010 to everybody!!! Yeah, I know I'm
quite late, but hope is alright the same! I'm so sorry I haven't been 'round
here so much during the last months of 2009, but it was such a stressful working
year - but luckily even full of many gigs, and therefore I've definitely prefered
relaxing/relieving myself going to see some beautiful bands live, instead of
sitting even during the week-end at a desk, he, he, he! And the intention for
this new year is exactly the same, ha, ha, ha!!! Concerts is the reason why I'm
here, since Klimt1918 is gonna play a couple of live dates neverthless in Spain
during next week:
... just in case some Italian was there
in those days for vacation, or reasons of study, work and so on, but
especially for the Spanish fans whom I hope will attend the events and will tell
me something to write in these pages and share with all the others!!! Among
other things, it's not
The Cannibal Queen as wrongly mentioned on the flyer which is gonna support
our Klimt1918 adored, but rather
Le Grant in
Barcelona, with very dark-wave and dancing vibes - in fact they remind me of my
fellow citizens NeoN -
and Quaoar - maybe
less mature, but however interesting. Guess this time the good Davide will
play bass on stage: I've not been hearing the band for months by now, but
right in these last couple of days I've exchanged some sms with Paolo from
Kardia - who replaced Davide at bass a few times in 2009 - who
didn't absolutely mention he's gonna play once again with the band. Well then,
everything is possible...
