This monday (10th of december 2012), Loren Stillman and the Bad Touch were performing at the HNITA jazz club. Altough it was freezing cold outside, the atmosphere inside the HNITA club was warm and welcoming as always.
Also as usual, the concert starts at 20h30 jazz time… The band kicks in with some very interesting musical sentences from drummer Ted Poor. These first musical lines sounded very promising to me. Indeed the beginning of the concert was fulfilling my expectations as interesting and exiting. The first set started with ‘move’, ‘skin’, ‘verse’ and finally ‘bad touch’ was concluding the set.
The general atmosphere of the music of ‘the bad touch’ was sometimes relaxing and other times a little free. The band proved to be very professional and sometimes they were in for some serious musical joking and improvising.
The second set started with a relaxed ‘holiday of unlimited tears’. ‘The brothers breakfast’ and ‘new tree’ were concluding the concert. Despite the cold, the band came back up for a last song called ‘GNU’.
Unfortunately for those who were absent, those two sets were very exiting!
