BENIDORM LOW COST FESTIVAL
2012 REVIEW
FRIDAY
The fourth edition of Benidorm
LowCost Festival started on the second stage (Lower Stage) with DJ
Warm Up and Varry Brava. The ones to start up the main stage (Budweisser)
were Trepát (winners of the 2012 LowCost’s Bands
Contest).
Back to the second stage, with The Right Ons,
who had a very strong attitude onstage. Specially remarkable was the job the
keyboard did including Electronic percussion, folk percussion as maracas and
tambourine and throwing of every item eventually. Pretty Slick, On The Radio
and Tell Me 'Bout the Good Times, were
some examples of the songs that the band brought to tour their third and last
album Get Out.
After a quick walk to the stage one,
ex-front man of Los Piratas Ivan Ferreiro performed with quite a
emotional endemism songs from his long career with Los Piratas and solo era. Años 80, Promesas, Mi coco, sung
by everyone ther, Ivan at the piano alter introducing the band and the technique
crew.
It was the turn for Is Tropical
on stage 2. These three boys, whose sound is so difficult to classify, brought
the songs from their album Native To
and didn’t let down the crowd attending the gig.
The next ones to flow the main stage
were Suede.
They started Introducing The Band, and went on hit after hit with Trash, Filmstar, Animal Nitrate, We Are the
Pigs, She and To the Birds.
The attention decreased for a while but Brett Anderson
came back with Killing Of A Flashboy, Can't Get Enough, Everything Will Flow, So
Young, Metal Mickey. Guitarist Riachard Oakes looked like playing the song
especially for you and only for you in a private show, secret or something. They
closed the show with The Wild Ones
with a perfect sound of acoustic guitar, New
Generation, Beautiful Ones and Saturday Night.
The venue had all and a karaoke
stage that from time to time looked like one more stage.
After a very quick stop at the
second stage, we went back to the main stage to attend Supersubmarina. They had
a really impressive performance with songs like Ola de Calor, Supersubmarina, or
XXI.
Back to the second stage, The Whip where there
showing how different can a band sound depending on this member that keeps on
moving from the keys to the strings of his guitar.
Their top songs were Secret Weapon and Trash, in
which everyone there had to jump up and down.
And to close the main stage for the
first night came The Sounds. They started
with It's so easy, To dance with the
devil, in which guitarist Félix Rodríguez sung backing vocals with a vocoder,
No one sleeps when I’m awake, in
which the keyboarder Jesper Anderberg took the guitar and vocals. Again with Song with a mission. the sound was much more
electric as the keyboarder grabbed the guitar. Something to die for, Painted
by numbers. Singer Maja Ivarsson should not try emulate an helicopter with
the microphone wire after Suede gig, because Anderson is a pro. They finish the
“fucking party” (as Ivarsson said several times) with Wish you were here, Don't
stop push it now, Living in America.
A perfect closing for the main stage.
Those who never sleep kept on it with DJ
Coco and 2Many DJs (DJ set), on the second stage.
