The north.
Saturday, October 3, 2009I just stumbled over an acoustic preformance of the song 1901 by the French band Phoenix. http://hypem.com/track/919796/Phoenix+-+1901+acoustic+. I’ve always found it interesting hearing acoustic interpretations of a song. This was no exception.
I then took the query to YouTube to see if I could find a live performance of the acoustic version. I didn’t find it, but I found this:
Which is also good, but… maybe a bit stale? Kind of lacks any notion of energy. Or joy for that matter.
Then under the title ‘Related Videos’ I found this:
What a change! I was so pleasantly surprised to see a drummer in a robotic manner spending most of his performance trying to beat a hole in the snare drum! Love it. What a legend.
I did a bit of research, and it turns out that my new found hero is called Thomas Hedlund and is from the north of Sweden. Umeå to be more precise. He also plays in The Perishers, Cult Of Luna, Deportees and Khoma. If i’m not mistaken, an acquaintance whom I played with while living in Skellefteå, Peter Melender, is also the drummer of Khoma.
It’s a small world. And it seems like the north part of it rocks it harder than the south ;)
