Rating: A lethal injection of raw power. An adrenaline rush delivered by the BellRays, led by a big-haired, scratchy pantheress, and the Jim Jones Revue.
The former is an unknown but very interesting band with twenty years of experience, which among other things supported the MC5. Live, the singer is truly impressive in her role as a soul singer with punk fury and twelve-inch heels.
The latter is just the latest creation of Detroit-sound prophet Jim Jones, who since the eighties has been part of various bands like Thee Hypnotics, Black Moses, Licence to Destroy. A life spent interpreting the sound of Stooges and MC5 in various ways. At the beginning, he was a sort of clone of Iggy Pop but now on the Bloom stage he writhes with studied mastery, a kind of punk version of Jerry Lee Lewis.
Punk'n'roll barrages repeatedly hit the audience, a little bored by the end of the previous performance due to the energetic but somewhat monotonous sound of the BellRays. At first, the frontman is studied by a doubtful audience, with his gestures and wild screams, with his companions in rockabilly attire banging on the keys and swaying the bass, but in the end, they completely abandon themselves to him, entrusting their wild dances to his abilities as a great performer, showman, and provocateur. To the despair of a technician, some young women repeatedly climb up to dance on the stage (it must be 50 cm high), after having been eyed until that moment by him, who for the record, under the waistcoat jacket, wears a scandalous snakeskin-patterned shirt that's very rock'n'roll.
A riveting concert that ranks at the top of the concerts of the year along with the presentation of the new work by Ufomammut, also at Bloom.
Bloom rules!
