Radio Moscow + Prisma Circus review of the gig at sala Rocksound (Barcelona) 18 April 2012

Last week, wednesday 18, was the first of five gigs in Spain of Radio Moscow in their European tour 2012. It was in Barcelona, and Prisma Circus was the band chosed for open that gig.

I had more forward to see Prisma Circus than Radio Moscow, cause I only heard a few songs they made for the EP they’re gonna release soon. I was expecting their performance, intrigued about their sound in live. I was in the sound check with them, and the sound totally blow my mind. Only one sentence could describe their live performance:
Loud, very loud. They’re louder  than Blue Cheer, who were louder than God.
What a blast performance! Sadly they only played 40 minutes, but they were totally dynamics and played 8 songs. I will highlight the songs "Paradox", "The Great Car" and "Napalm", this last song isn't still available to hear. That song, is a powerful instrumental very well played for all the musicians in each instrument, sure it'll be one of their best songs.

As I said a few months ago, soon they'll be a great band, and sure they'll touring in the rest of Spain and Europe. Sincerely, they are great musicians who have a blast and powerful live performance as I have rarely seen.

ready for blow away our minds. What could we say about them? It’s totally amazing, Parker is an awesome musician, who is growing in each live performance, and the  live sound of the band have an incredible quality. The only bad thing was the sound of the bass, very low in my opinion and needed about a overdrive pedal to have more presence in the rhythm section. Either  way, the new line-up is really great and they're a great musicians too. It's amazing the connection between them in less than 4 months they’re playing together.
It's hard to highlight any song, because the setlist was really incredible.
As expected, "Broke Down" and "The Escape" were two of the best songs of the show, with a powerful performance and a great work in the rhythm section too. But in my opinion, "Little Eyes" and "Insideout", both from the new album, were the best songs of that night.
Their last song was "250 miles", with a crazy performance of all the musicians.



When the gig ended, and when we thought that anything could be better than what happened this night, the members of Prisma Circus, Radio Moscow, some friends and me went to the rehearsal place of Prisma Circus for a crazy and acid Jam Session, who didn't ended til the first rays of sun appeared.
