Two days gbob 2006: The passion and the fight for the finals

Russia is growing qualification of the international competition of live music gbob (The Global Battle of the Bands). Already passed two qualifying days, and 19th in the Russian final at November will take place, has already spent five groups. On the first day with a significant margin in the final of the Russian were three teams - the young "Franz Ferdinand", a group of "Milan" (Moscow), the group "types" (Moscow), these are the words: "Well, We will save rock 'n' roll, "a lively performance was as spectacular extravaganza in gold costumes, some for the group," Erasure "with her clip" I love to hate you, "remember to be conveyed and glowing podium Club. The third group, which had reached the final of the first qualifying day a group of "Harmless" (Odintsovo). The coat views riveted not so much a soloist in tight red suit as a charming and somewhat naked .... Bassist. As one of the jurors, "the subject of breasts completely exposed." Team has a thick stack at the 80th On the second day of jury selection was much more complicated. Group "TT-34" known to the general public on the video "Serge with TT-34", reached the final without reservation this mighty ax rough uncle. Played properly, not undermine. And fast rap "reading" text energy heats the room immediately - "All pi * December, you get in the mill!" Without elected and the second finalist. "The Last Refuge" of Nizhny Novgorod and last year made a good impression, and now singer significantly strengthened and the second song began as powerful resonant solos to produce that to do the selection of the jury. Although the style is, of course, the band lame - not drive a group of very good singer. The jury would like to say "Perfect" (Moscow). Despite their banal jokes between songs Melodic, thick and pale solo compositions can be tuned to the final. Nearby was a group of Krasnodar "Septera" with unusual artistic singer tearful voice, turning into a roar owns. But not pleased his team - depression in their power not to get propellant. What is crucial for such a competition. After some discussion, the jury decided not to the two groups in the final, as to avoid the chance already selected five of them turned out, probably, no. Just above the rest of the participants. «Mumsa» (St. Petersburg) is unylovaty post-rock with a little falshivyaschim singer, without drive and teamwork in the game. Seemed very promising demos sent to the team from Kazan as "Russian Evanescence», -. The group "Pulse of Reason" But in a live performance all somewhere, two girl singers effaced, melodic variations under heavy escort was ragged look just boring. "The Coast" (Moscow) sings ordinary Russian rock with simple rhythmic structure, and its good, but not. gbob for B.Jerm (Moscow) plays groovy punk rock, and quite smoothly. But the guys all in itself, and the audience not paying attention - There is a suspicion that something in this music is not enough, "Durov Corner" (Moscow) -. an odd mixture of Russian rock, blues, folk. But there is no drive, victorious, powerful energy - something that should be on the stage in London for the World Cup finals. "Hula Hoop" (Moscow) - not a very technical art rock. For instrumental group very weak technique instrumentalist, the singer seems to forget to go to the stage. "Open Air" (Peter) surprised and disappointed interesting guitar riffs complete lack of stage charisma. Just for herself. Ahead of the competition - two qualifying days 13 and 14 November. And ends on 19 November, which took in the club "Sexton". Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru Photo Basil Gureev (gbob) and author.
