Radio Moscow + Kaleidobolt live @ RCA Club, Lisbon [Gig Review]

 Quite the turned out for a Sunday evening with the house packed and excited for some fuzz emanating from the Heavy Psych gathering that went down in Lisbon at RCA Club with the power trios Kaleidobolt and Radio Moscow!

  Invited to be the supporting band of this “The Drifting Tour” the Finnish act Kaleidobolt stormed the stage like they were headlining it... Holy smokes! I bet I was one of the few present who were familiar with band and even I was surprised with so such a raw and heavy load discharge.

 Starting with “Steal my Thunder” (which was a personal requested, thanks dudes!), going energetically through songs from both records (Self Titled and The Zenith Cracks) throwing in the middle one best drums solos I ever witnessed, and I´ve seen quite a few, closing it with the grand finale “Showdown”... and that's just what it was, a gnarly showdown of electrifying guitar riffs, flaming bass lines and blazing drum grooves! Honestly the night could I´ve end right there that everybody would be going home happy...

 A quick drive by through the merch table to grab 180 grams of the new Radio Moscow`s hazy stuff with the merch handler who had a fistful of €10 bills, there for no change for me, ending up giving me a discount on the record. And as if that wasn´t enough, I got my copy signed my Mr. Paul Marrone (drums)... Don´t like to push my luck, but the dude was standing next to me and there was a pen laying around, so what a hell!

  

 It´s with really high spirits that Radio Moscow came along, picking right where Kaleidobolt left and pushing even further the sonic boundaries of the place. First time seeing the band with this formation and the difference is quite noticeable... it´s no longer Parker Griggs` band if you know what mean, now it´s a real fucking thigh power trio! The performance, presence and sound on stage have all improved with the trio based in San Diego, California distilling heavy psych and delta blues for almost 2 hours going through the new material and classic jams all with the same drive and energy. With this renowned rhythm section consisting of Anthony Meier and Paul Marrone (from Sacri Monti, Cosmic Wheels, Psicomagia and Birth fame) the virtuoso guitarist has more room and freedom to explore and unleash all his potential with hazy licks and electrifying solos that left the crowd pretty wild.

 A sweaty and memorable night of great fun with two gnarly bands and a dirty sex doll named Maria Ana! Here´s a couple of videos from the gig taken by our friends over at Caleidoscópio Radio
