Cabin 5 is kind of a weird venue. Cool, but weird. Before I get into my review of Ewert and the Two Dragons , I feel I need to say a few words about this place and the circumstances surrounding my arrival. First off, I hadn't even planned on attending this show. My original plan was to head over to the Opera House to catch some early evening metal, but to my surprise, the "Metal Alliance" show was no longer accepting wristbands. So after an entirely unnecessary sidetrip to The Opera House, it was back on the streetcar and [...]

Ewert and the Two Dragons - (In the End) There's Only Love Estonia! You gave me Skype and now Ewert and the Two Dragons? You shouldn't have but I'm so glad you did. I discovered this band in an article that described them as "the crown jewel of Estonian rock," which (unfairly) made me laugh so hard I snorted. And I don't know what I expected from this quartet but every song I've listened to by Ewert and the Two Dragons has blown me away. There's the evocative and complex lyrics, the melancholy instrument [...]

Ewert And The Two Dragons is a folk-rock quartet from Tallin, Estonia. The line-up consists of vocalist Ewert Sundja, guitarist Erki Pärnoja, drummer Kristjan Kallas and Ivo Etti on bass, guitar and other instruments.

With this new [...]

Un tipo va al doctor y le dice: - Doctor me duele el huevo izquierdo. Después de revisarlo, el doctor le dice: - Que dolor mas raro, mejor vaya a la facultad, tal vez algún estudioso sepa de estos casos. El tipo va y le dice a un doctor de la facultad: - Doctor, me duele el huevo izquierdo. - Pero señor, esta es la facultad de derecho. - Vaya! no sabía que había una facultad para cada huevo!!. [...]

In noiembrie la Music Alliance Pact ii avem pe East Roots, o trupa de reggae/dub care nu se incadreaza in tiparul bine-cunoscut promovat de acest curent. Nu pare un tribut adus unei contra-culturi, poate doar prin versuri. Veti gasi in muzica lor destule influente: drum 'n' bass, trip-hop sau dancehall. EP-ul lor se afla la convergenta sonora a tuturor acestor genuri; suficient de eclectic incat para nou si atat de bine centrat in jurul acestui dinamism, incat sa fie perceput ca cel mai articulat disc de gen aparut in Romania. Il puteti downloada gratis de aici . [...]

O mais fascinente, neste exercício de apresentar, todos os meses, uma banda ou um artista para esta lista internacional que é o Music Alliance Pact (M.A.P.), é constatar o que a música portuguesa, na sua diversidade, criatividade e sofisticação tem evoluído, desde a onda da música moderna portuguesa, pós-25 de Abril, nos finais dos anos setenta e início dos anos oitenta. É salutar que, apesar da crise e do pecaminoso e persistente problema das rádios portuguesas não apoiarem, a música moderna portuguesa, que haja pessoas que insistam, persistam e não desistam, como é o caso de Miguel Dias, conhecido [...]
