Thrills Infectious Wire Burst - by Katerina Stankovic - February 2011

In the past four years, The Singing Loins became a little local phenomenon. How many bands can tour most of the columns as owner (gender) and England - Serbia? A most impressive as the constant touring proved Serbian Belgrade and Pirot.
 
First visit Chris Broderick, Chris (arfur) Allen and Rob Shepherd 2007th was a combination of chance, strange circumstances and mad enthusiasm, but it turned out not to be "one-time miracle." They would return and 2008. and 2009. each time in the organization of Bad Music for Bad People. And these were there in 2011, providing its authentic folk medvejski Novi Sad, Belgrade, Pirot and Senta. Whether it comes to the excellence of the new material, odomaćenost on this ground, the gain in the form of a new member - bassist John Forrester or a combination of these factors, but the Singing Loins have sounded more convincing than ever.

Belgrade a concert was held on 3 February at the Gun Club, which is now proving as perhaps the best club concert venue that Belgrade had in the last 10-odd years. After a long series of awkward and / or coercive solutions, it is a big relief when you no longer have to bite their nails about the quality of sound and lighting, or about smoky claustrophobia that bring low ceilings of some other clubs.

This performance was outstanding Singing Loins is an intimate club atmosphere and successfully thaw the audience who bravely weathered the external -15 degrees to attend the concert. Although it was not too many, certainly was not indifferent - singing was loud and hopping and the ubiquitous pleasure.

The next day the line was Pirot. This concert is characterized significantly different atmosphere in terms of being held in the theater of the Cultural Centre. Great stage, the real theater seats and heavy curtains are predetermined festive atmosphere, far from pabske. However, the soul performances remained the same - open, honest and inflammatory. Pirot is a city that every time an incredibly warm and generous host loins. One gets the strong impression that had gained the status of beloved lokanog band, with all the confidence and warmth that goes with it. There is also much higher will the audience to communicate with the band, and Medveja-Pirot connection is easily felt in the air throughout the show.
 
Performances Singing Loins could be the answer to the question of what happens when punk "grow up"and not become a make-up or pretentious yuppie misunderstood artist. This punk is still in skuobu with the world, but in the meantime, the conflict has become odmereniji, funnier, more acoustic, and certainly more personal. More like a chess game bergmanovsku to death than to don quixotic fight against the wind. Pabski pankoidni Folk Singing Loins has nothing to do with Pougesima, Dubliners and similar historical bands. Has to do solely with the Singing Loins household, including a loyal audience.

Every time thrills infectious wire burst, led by sharp cockney vocals and rhythm by hitting the inevitable by giving a handful of wooden crates and the soles of the board stage. And if this is quite objective reasons that you, your feet and engage in voice performance, it is difficult to explain what you essentially makes the Singing Loins sing-a-long. The performance was so spontaneous, and the music is so raw and honest that connects with you on a basic emotional level. In short - hits the core.
 
The right mirror and the sum of this feeling was one of the best performing songs from their new album, "Nail It Back Together," whose chorus is hidden and the exact context of the new album called "Stuff". You can not dissociate and remain intact - because everyone has their own set of things, a tool for patching ruptures, scars and personal defeat. Each of us is in one way or another forced to continue to deal with the everyday, even if at times against our will. These words accompanied srcekidajućim banjo and powerful "stomping" as the reason why you will inevitably feel the arrow in the chest.

At both concerts, loins were performed several songs from the album najsvežijeg, a lot of places on the setlist taken things from the album in 2009, "Unravelling England, which until now has not had an opportunity to promote living in Serbia. Particularly interesting was the duel accordion and scissors during Take My Scissors Away. There were also older and the audience well-known songs such as "idyllic House In The Woods, dark and yet incredibly powerful Baker's Arms and God Bless The Whores Of Rochester, who perhaps elicits the widest smiles around the stage.

Concerts Singing Loins in Serbia do not reflect the sometimes pleasant and sometimes unpleasant tension of the unknown that accompanies many concerts of foreign bands. They look more like the musical meeting of old friends who always impressed with each other in a new way.
