Welcome gift.

The Miserable Rich @ Das Bett, Frankfurt.

This was a great surprise for me. Almost like a welcome gift. One of the first concerts I went to in Frankfurt was from a band I've never heard before - a very nice recomendation from a friend.

The Miserable Rich is a band from England, and I definitely don't know how to define them. Indie? Alternative? Pop? Soft? Sweet? I think it is a big mix of all of that. And acoustic. They are a band formed by 5 guys and no drummer. Violins, acoustic guitars, bass and small music boxes are the main instruments. Also, the voice is very soft and peculiar, and fits exactly in their style.

The concert was very nice. The place, Das Bett, is a very cosy place - I know I've mentioned it before, but this concert was on the old Das Bett, the small place. I think it could fit around 80 people, and this day was totally packed. Even though the opening act almost blew the night, the event was great. Miserable Rich is a band that communicates a lot with the audience and entertain a lot too, which is not very common from bands on the same style. They even had one song which they requested wine glasses from the audience, and it was one of their instruments. Very interesting. Also, the executions were perfect, they are very syncronised and very talented.

If you don't know them, here's the chance:

Songs I would recommend: The Boat Song and Pisshead.

After this one, I went to another concert of them, but this will be told some other time.

See ya.
