LogoS & Phoenix Again November 22, 2015 - 't Blok, Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel (NL)
By entering the stage of venue 't Blok, it was the first time that the Italian progressive rock bands LogoS
and Phoenix Again played outside their home country. These performances were made possible thanks to
the efforts of the people of ProgFrog. This Dutch organization brought already several excellent bands to our
country. Even rather unknown acts get a chance to present themselves for an audience, although they know that
the place won't be sold out! This also applied to this Sunday afternoon in November when these two Italian bands
set the stage on fire with their excellent music!
LogoS
Right from the start the band played amazingly well; most tracks were taken from their latest album. These pieces have been chiefly inspired by the great prog acts of the seventies such as Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), Genesis, Yes and King Crimson. After the audience enjoyed five pieces of L'Enigma Della Vita it was time for a composition from their second album Ásrava (2001). After Terra Incognita was perfectly finished LogoS paid tribute to Le Orme, one of the big names in the history of Rock Progressivo Italiano. When LogoS started in 1996 as a cover band they already played songs from this legendary band. During the four covers of Le Orme the lead vocals were done by Fabio Gaspari. This excellent bassist was together with drummer Alessandro Perbellini responsible for the strong rhythm parts throughout the show that lasted approximately seventy-five minutes. After the final notes of Collage they left the stage, while they took a well-deserved applause from the audience leaving them speechless! Phoenix Again
These two Italian bands demonstrated that you don't need to have a big name in the progressive rock scene to captivate the attention of an audience. Once again the ProgFrog team succeeded in organizing two fine Sunday afternoon gigs. So thumbs up for LogoS, Phoenix Again and the organizers! Henri Strik (edited by Peter Willemsen) |
