Live Shows

[Emplate]

I went to see Negură Bunget on Saturday in Porvoo. The show itself was nice, the setlist having a lot of material from OM. The venue itself, however, wasn't really appropriate for this kind of gig. It was in the same complex as the local night club, and seemed like people could enter both the gig and the night club area with the same fee, 'cause at some point there were lots of traffic back and forth in the middle of the show. It didn't help that the entrance to the lounge where the show was located right next to the stage. There were lots of people watching the local support act, cheering for the hometown boys, and their friends, I presume, but almost none of them actually watched the main act. It felt like 70% of the people there didn't know what kind of gig they were attending. So although I enjoyed the show itself immensely, I think the experience goes to show that underground metal gigs don't necessarily fit in the same place with "regular" people.
