Bands in Concert: El Vy


Sunday night (December, 12th), El Vy played at the Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
The room fits about 2000 people and as far as I know, the concert was sold out.
About half of the people were there to watch the preact 'The Penny Surfs'. The songs they played were quite different to one another, starting off with a slower song then going over to rocky songs and finally to soft psychedelic songs. Therefore they reminded me of different bands such as Placebo and Tame Impala   
Even though some of the music was very different to the actual act, the crowd seem to enjoy their performance.
The actual concert of El Vy was with about 50 minutes a bit shorter than most concert, but I wasn't really surprised since they only have one album yet. Their performance was very powerful and atmospheric which the light show increased even further. 
It seemed as if the band had been playing together for several years when in fact it was one of their first shows.
When they covered "She drives me crazy" the crowd really did go crazy. Especially Matt Berniger's performance made the cover at least ten times better than the original song; he put so many emotions in the song while rocking the stage. 
Very impressive were also Brent Knopf's skills, who was playing the guitar and the keyboard, both very well. During some songs he had to switch between the instruments which he was doing with an ease that really was incredible.
Overall, I can say that the concert was really enjoyable and musically on point. It was definitely a concert I won't forget so fast.
