Peter Murphy Is Going To Play In Porto Next Month


Another very nice concert in my home town.
Peter Murphy, the legendary singer of Bauhaus, is going to play in the fantastic Casa da Música (House of Music) of Porto next month.
The concert in meant to be some kind of his best from the last 30 years and it's already sold out.
The setlist probably will be full of his solo songs, some Bauhaus songs and, who knows, maybe a David Bowie cover!
Cheers!

The Bowie Tribute In Hard Club Porto


As I told last week, there was a David Bowie tribute concert in my home town, Porto.
I was a bit scared because I, honestly, didn't know almost any of the performers.
And in the end, it was a great celebration of Bowie's music with a lot of great versions of his songs.
Most of them (thank God) were very similar to the original ones.
There was a lot of acoustic performances, some of them failed a little bit (Fame, Blue Jean, Where Are We Now?), other worked very good (Five Years, Ziggy Stardust). There was also an incredible version on Lazarus, a very entertaining Let's Dance and the big ending with all the musician on stage singing Heroes and All The Young Dudes. A band played Let's Dance and Little Wonder, and it was terrible, the lowest performance of the night. Don't try to mix those songs with Heavy/Hard Metal. Just doesn't work out in a concert like this.
As a overall, it was a fantastic night, with a lot of nostalgia and good music.
When you have the option, don't stay at home!
