concert without a single fan cheering, screaming or applauding. The
pop-rock band of Barcelona inaugurated the first exclusive on-line
spectacle a few years ago. According to the organisers, 2,785 people
following the entire event directly on Internet, and
were able to interact during the performance, sending comments and short
messages which showed up in a large screen on the stage.
Only a small number of bloggers had entrance tickets previously acquired, after participating in a lucky draw - also online -, to be able to enjoy the concert directly in the location of the performance. It opened with 'allí donde solíamos gritar' (That's where we used to scream), the first and one of the most successful themes in their last album.
The group is well connected with the latest technology. Since their beginning, has maintain very close relationship with their followers through Internet. Despite a concert without any fans, the show was packed with solid contents more so than habitually, and there's no lacking in the feedback from the public. "I had expected it to be much colder" confessed Santi Balmes, the singer in the band.
The combined old themes like 'Noches reversibles' (Reversible nights), with their latest work like 'Fans of John Boy' or 'Second Attack', in keeping with the thematic of the festival, Nights of the full moon. They also played a version of 'Son of the moon' of Mecano.
At the end, the virtual public could chat with the members of the group, who responded to every question. This was the first of many concerts planned to be shown under the theme of 'Nights of the full moon', the festival of concerts on Internet.
'Love of lesbian'. Intriguing the name they chose for the group. I wondered whether anybody asked them why. As far as I know, there seems to be no trace or the slightest indication of the group members themselves being either lesbians or homosexuals. Their's is simply good and lively pop-rock. www.eristoffinternativefestival.com
