Merch: a very credible Kadavar Patch
Again: yes \m/
For me young bands playing old style music became credible with Wolfmother. Their first years as a trio was pure retro, and very good. Kadavar are heading for similar aims, but with a slightly different twist. Finally at flex after quite some years, and it's the place as always to feel at home.
Mantar first. A band of two, playing to each other side-ways. It is for sure quite unique, but also really convincing.
The guitarist/shouter is some hell of a guy, very tough and energy driven. The drummer could be his father, but is by no means less tight. The guitar goes through a long effects route, which makes sense in such a band constellation.
Despite being only two of them, there is a hell lot going on here.
Kudos to you guys, you were great!
Kadavar rocks the crowd from the very first moment. Though they apparently did not take the sound check that seriously, resulting in a very low volume that cranked up just some two songs later. Also their appearance is peculiar: The drummer takes the front of the stage, the guitarist/singer (the combination I adore most) on the left and the bassisst on the right side.
Oh my god, this drummer. I cannot help, but he seems to be also the human incarnation of The Animal (Muppets). The looks, of course the hair, ventilated by a fan all the time into the air, and the looks - his eyes staring into the crowd.
So hilarious, still completely credible as a drummer. Means that he plays in the center for a reason. Rock on, Animal!
Kadavar's music is pure Seventies. The guitar riffs, while no mock-up of something heard for a thousand times, are spot on from that area. I mean that in a very positive sense - like with Wolfmother, their interpretation of Seventies Hard Rock feels just right.
