Bucharest Live I: Grimus @Laptaria lui Enache


Again from the "retroactive" category a gig from almost a month ago.
It's a band I've been meaning to see for quite a while now, mostly 'cause I kept hearing about they have gigs and we don't have all that many bands that do a lot of gig that one actually hears of. Plus the songs on their myspace sounded promising , despite the sound not being of top quality.


Grimus is a band from Cluj, that have been playing for a while now which is quite obvious in their live performance and stage presence --trust me, after one very painful afternoon in Live Metal Club I know all too well about poor stage presence-- , romanian winners of Global Battle of the Bands, only recently singed to a label -- maybe one of the reasons all the songs you can track down on the internet by them don't do them justice-- from Italy -- and a good thing since I doubt a romanian label would do them justice -- with an album on the way and more developments on the way, according to the guys.















It's been almost a month since I saw them live and I couldn't actually say something in particular about it, specially since I just saw Coma live last week , however I am going to their next gig in Bucharest , on the 28 at Suburbia, which should be a good evaluation of their previous performance ...and this time I'll be able to sing along with what seemed a decent fan base that they seem to have here .

so yeah...work

nu vad
nu inteleg si nici nu vreau
sa mergi la munca, in fiecare zi, fara finalitate
working, day in day out. It might be even for a project. You'll finish that task and another one will come 'round.
not to even mention, doing the same tasks every day. what is the point of it all? if it doesn't bring joy? and driving yourself into appreciating your line of work is not pleasure.
but is in the end?

I just don't know what is more important. If you have to lie, t alter the point of view to be at peace or even happy with doing something , does it matter? Is it worth it? I can't even find the question.

To some point I am just scared of failing. I will try looking to myself and see if I find that drive for a career., for a professional plan to my life. I don't see it, unless someone convinces me that management is a form of artistic expression.
I want to write! ...or draw...doodle , paint..whatever. That is how I want ot make a living.
A reviewer. Go see plays and concerts and exhibitions and and broadcast my point of view...which in the end comes down to writing
