Venue: Musikenshus, G\u00f6teborg (Sweden)
\nBy: Sabine\u00a0 van Gameren<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Tonight is my second night of Emergenza in G\u00f6teborg. Tonight ten bands
\n\u00a0 are on the bill and it seems to be a quite various program. <\/p>\n\n\n
\nThe evening starts with the acoustic act of Serenity Now. The band starts off\u00a0a little shy, almost insecure, but the voice of the singer wins power after\u00a0the first song. When she sings a song together with the guy on the keys, I am\u00a0 dreaming away. It touched me. You would expect this music to be played on a\u00a0romantic dinner in a restaurant in Paris, but then I realized I was in G\u00f6teborg\u00a0and not in Paris. Serenity Now has the power to change geography and make Paris\u00a0 move to Sweden. Way to go, I wonder what they can bring me more.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nWhile seeing the second band I was wondering why this band was playing here\u00a0on Emergenza. Shouldn’t they be very famous already? For Aye makes emotional\u00a0radio rock and brings us a great performance. The singer has great charisma\u00a0and you can see he is born to be on stage. Or even in front of the stage, as\u00a0he jumps off the stage to get a little closer to the audience. I have seen this\u00a0mix of performance, musical talent and charisma only once before and that was\u00a0with the band Poets of the Fall. Though, their music is rather catchy where\u00a0For Aye chooses to be more emotional. I enjoyed it a lot and this band\u00a0deserves\u00a0a place in the semifinals. Therefore I voted for them and luckily they got a\u00a0place in the semifinals, which shows that I was not the only person who was\u00a0impressed by For Aye.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nNext band is Random Sound. They make alternative rock with some funk influences\u00a0and they definitely brought an audience to Musikenshus, but for me there was\u00a0an element missing. The surprise element. They are not much different from other\u00a0bands and not standing out. They do play quite well and the stage act is also\u00a0ok, but they definitely do not win the concurrency from the band before them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nThe Sidekick Project was lucky with many people in the venue when entering\u00a0the stage, though I have never seen so many people leaving in such a short time.\ufffd
\nI took a run to the bar myself as well. The band is clearly influenced by Nirvana\u00a0but the sound of the vocals was horrible. Like a goat. If the band just had\u00a0an off day or was this a normal performance of them, I don’t know, but I hope\u00a0I won’t have to hear this again.\u00a0Nice try, but I suggest they keep on practicing\u2026 somewhere deep under the\u00a0ground perhaps.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nSeven Circles was next. This band somehow reminds me to a band that was a quite\u00a0popular gothic band in the late 90’s called Danse Macabre, which has been one\u00a0of my favorite bands until they quit playing together. Though, for those who\u00a0do not know this band, I can name HIM, Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride as influences.
\nThe band has a quite static way of performing, which kind of suits their music.\ufffd
\nThe lyrical part is the most important here so you have to listen to the words\u00a0and enjoy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nDirty Dollars bring us some punk\/rock with a sleazy image. The band is quite\u00a0young, they started in February 2007. They kind of remind me to the band WASP,\u00a0but not completely in the old classic style. More with some modern punk influences\u00a0than WASP is bringing us nowadays. I would say they did quite ok, but the vocals\u00a0tend to be too much screaming. They were quite active on stage, which of course\u00a0is necessary with their music. Nice band, nothing special yet, but\u00a0definitely\u00a0has potential.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nA quite different sound compared to Dirty Dollars came when President Roadkill\u00a0entered the stage. I checked their MySpace before the show, and I expected a\u00a0little more aggression in the songs than what was actually shown onstage. The\u00a0band started performing live by the start of 2007 and tonight I saw a quite\u00a0active stage act, which I liked. Though, overall I expected I would like the\u00a0 band more while I was listening to their music on\u00a0MySpace, so I ended up being\u00a0a little disappointed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nRevolve was up next. I liked the way they took attention for what they are\u00a0wearing. The band is together since 2003 and you can see they know each other\u00a0well in the way they play together. Musically they caught my attention mostly\u00a0by their instrumental arrangements. The vocals do not do that much with me.
\nThe songs sound a little bit too much the same. The band did not have a huge\u00a0audience but the people who were there seem to be there\u00a0especially for them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nRevolve left the stage for The Mary Major. The music is alternative, catchy\u00a0rock with aggressive edges. The venue changes quite a lot in the half hour that\u00a0TMM is on the stage. They own the stage while the audience is coming out of\u00a0their corners to give it a closer look. The band is having advantages from their\u00a0stage experience since four out of five were also playing in the successful\u00a0gothic band Beseech. I voted for them and they made it to the semifinals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nLast band this evening was Fadingfriend. They make some hardrock like you can\u00a0expect from Foo Fighters. Their sound is quite steady and is just there, no\u00a0way around, you will have to listen to it. They kind of demand your attention.\ufffd
\nI tell you, their performance was quite ok as well, but maybe after the catchy\u00a0show of The Mary Major, the whole idea of Fadingfriend more or less fell away\u00a0in darkness. It just disappears and after ten bands most people are just waiting\u00a0for the results and waiting for the last band to finish rather earlier than\u00a0seeing them an extra minute. Too bad.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
