Hi there Blogheads:) Today you have to write a 250 Word free post. Here's mine. Don't forget to comment on my blog and on the blogs of at least 3 classmates! So, last night I went to Blondie for the first time. Lots of my friends go on a regular basis but I'd never been before. Although I like to listen to some of the music they usually play there, it's not the music I like to dance too - I prefer to dance to House, Soul or Reggae or Drum & Bass even Salsa or Cumbia but not rock music. Last night I went to Blondie because I went to see a group called CocoRosie. It was a great gig, quite strange and whacky but very enjoyable. CocoRosie is two sisters, a pianist/keyboard player and a human beatbox. The sound is quite original as the band mix different styles such as electronic, folk and hip-hop. There were elements of performance to the show. The band swopped instruments and clothes. They also painted each others faces while they were performing. Original the concert was going to be in Subterraneo in Providencia but I think they sold too many tickets and had to switch the concert to a bigger venue. Blondie was a good place to see this band. There can't have been more that 1,000 people and there were only about 600 when the show started. The sound was good. In fact, I enjoyed CocoRosie more live than the recorded tracks I've Heard. The personalities and energy of the 2 singers is an important part of their charm and it's hard to feel this from their recordings. Here's a link to one of their songs. Happy Friday!
