2011-Nov-18 Živé Kvety S Magorom

From s1nko memorabilia

I would like to dedicate the following set of photos to Ivan Martin Jirous, aka "Magor", an inspiring persona of Czech Underground, who was putting on life like a sombrero, as Živé Kvety have put it in their song "S Magorom", so vivaciously performed last Friday in Bratislava's prime underground pub, U Očka (Moe's)

The photos are best to be viewed while listening to this recent recording of the song "Sloboda" (Freedom), dedicated to all people free in their minds, common, freaks and geniuses alike.



And here are the photos:

2011-10-21 Gangway(SK,PL) Jazz!

I have finally managed to see my sister's Polish jazz band, and what a concert it was! Compared to to the night before show (which was an afterparty for the 20th anniversary edition Jazz Prešov), the setting in Košice was much more intimate, as-a-matter-of-fact a private show for the owner of the Piano Cafe (who had forgotten/chose not to promote the gig with my poster to the wide public) The place in itself was really small, unfortunately with almost no stage lights (and stage as such), but the sound was great. The show was split up into three parts, with setlist as follows (that's my sister's handwriting, btw):

So, gangway, it doesn't matter if you haven't managed to grab more audience by your acapella singing and presentation before the concert in Kosice's street. Because you have succeeded in making your hard core of listeners present extremely happy and content. And that is not of small importance ;)

PS: The next city on Gangway's concert list is YOURS, so beware and prepare!

2011-10-19 Longital(SK)+Zapaska(UA) U Očka (BA,SK)

Music is bordeless, and I am passportless, so thanks to an unbelievably amazing duo Zapaska for making the effort to come to me first.. (and since I have probably managed to miss Zapaska in Prešov and Krakow before, thanks to Longital for bringing them here) See you in Ukraine soon!

Btw, I am forever grateful to my girlfriend for coming in, hanging out, taking photos of both bands with me and then letting me use her laptop to recover the ones we have managed to erase in the process..
