Coco Rosie
Yesterday evening I went to see Coco Rosie in the big concert hall at Vega. We were a pretty big group this time around: Guilom, Dora, Manu, Gabo, Andrea, Leo, Johannes, Schwan, Dot plus a couple of others from school and Rebecca and Astrid from the apartment gang. Was quite nice to see a concert with so many people that you know.
We arrived a bit late, so we missed the opening act and got there just in time to see the two sisters from NY. The show itself was nice and ok, but to be honest I expected a bit more from an event I paid 250 DKK for (about 32€) and which I had awaited with great anticipation for over a month. And I wasn't alone – all the guys except Leo were disappointed. On the other hand all the girls except Andrea really enjoyed it. So I guess it must be a girls thing. Don't get me wrong, I must admit that I'm not a great fan and I think they actually sounded better live than on their album. But still, with all the hype that's been made and the 5-star reviews that they've been getting I had hoped for a little more than a relatively monotonous set – they didn't even play "Rainbowarrior" – and cheap visual effects in the background. At least for that kind of money. The best moment of the evening was the 3 minute solo of Tez, a french beatboxer that tours with the two girls and replaces the drum set in all their songs.
As the stupid security didn't let me take my camera inside ("You should've called Coco Rosie first and asked them if you could take pictures..." WTF?!) I could only take some pictures with Dot's cam, which didn't turn out that nice though. But therefore I was able to capture pieces of the concert on video, which was kinda cool. To see two more movies go to Daily Motion as I've uploaded them there and search for Coco Rosie, Vega.
