THE REVIEW
Do you know what mass is like? I don't much, but I remember that - seen one, seen them all -.
I'll skip the description of the barely half-hour of Blonde Redhead, who I appreciated much more at the end of their performance than while they were playing.
I went to see this concert convinced that Interpol were the poor imitation of Joy Division; I left certain they are their own imitation. Okay, searching for identity, but these 5 New Yorkers have really overdone it. Add to that a one-rhythm drummer, who flaunts two-three variations of four/four time, a guitarist who uses five guitars but only one single grainy and inconsistent sound; blend with a nonexistent keyboardist and a shy bassist; spice it up enough with a decent singer.
You'll get me in front of a stage, after having paid €28.50 for entry, ardently longing for an Ozric Tentacles concert, a Morphine record and finally settling for the couch and the television with "Un posto al sole" and then a drama about Rino Gaetano.
We complain about Ligabue, but it seemed to me that they played the same song all evening.
Lesson learned: never dare at a price higher than five euros.

Summary by Bot
The reviewer expresses clear disappointment with Interpol and Blonde Redhead's 2007 concert in Florence. While Blonde Redhead's set improved toward the end, Interpol was criticized harshly for lack of originality and poor musicianship. The concert failed to meet the reviewer's expectations, leading to regret over the high ticket price.
Blonde Redhead
Blonde Redhead are a New York-based trio described in the reviews as consisting of Japanese singer/guitarist Kazu Makino and twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace. Reviews depict their early years as Sonic Youth-influenced noise-rock, followed by a shift toward more melodic, ethereal indie-pop/dream-pop with increased use of keyboards and refined arrangements.21 Reviews
