Hidden Cameras (support: Joan as Policewoman). Mejeriet, Lund 21/10/06
The support act, Joan as Policewoman, is a New York-band consisting of Joan (vocals, piano, guitar), Ben (drums) and Rainy (bass). Having listened to them on Myspace I found them a little interesting. The single Cristobel is really good! Some other songs this evening were quite nice too but the audience seemed quite uninterested and there was no tension to talk about. The piano songs were generally better than the guitar tunes. However, this gig as support for Hidden Cameras wasn't anything that made history. Rating: ++
Then it was time for the main act, Hidden Cameras from Canada. Nine people on stage, including two guys playing violin. They played a great show, both concerning the music but also with a good connection with the audience. The violins added a lot to making this more than an ordinary pop concert. Even some songs which on record are a little anonymous sounded great in this environment. Their big indie-hit from a few years back, Ban Marriage (about a gay couple getting married), was played as encore. I really love that song! It is catchy, fun and political at the same time! I missed a few of my favourite songs this night but it didn't matter much as it was great anyway. As seen in the last picture they also invited some of the audience onto the stage during the final songs. Rating: ++++
