breaking latest news of the VVV concert [Trippin’you] In Salamanca

“Evasion or Victory”, must have been the phrase that occurred to more than one person when they saw that the Móstoles trio was playing in Salamanca in the middle of the carnival. The university city always experiences a deep exodus during the festive periods, and this time it was not going to be different. Those who chose to stay and see VVV [Trippin’you] in the Potemkim room, without a doubt, they must feel satisfied. Adrián, the singer of the Madrid band, began, greeting the audience (a little more than half of the possible capacity of the room) with irony: “hello charro people”knowing that the city, without students, is not capable of sustaining underground culture and remains a cold and desolate place.

The truth is that among those brave people who decided to stay and go to the party there were a majority of people who were in the “twenty something”, in a predominance seasoned by veterans like the one who writes these lines. Because tourist Office [Trippin’you] It is a group that writes for a current generation, but embraces in its sound previous generations who grew up and lived the post-punk scene and also the nineties electronic music. The performance had a sound progression that evolved into a significant increase in bpms, although a little muscle was missing in the sound. The voice had much more prominence than those bases that go through bakalao, dubstep and even hardcore. That mix of styles that characterizes the band perhaps erred on the side of being too much in the background in the first songs. For the majority of the audience this was not a problem, chanting the band’s anthems: “Nuclear winter” It caused an explosion of voices and sweat throughout the audience (and in the band itself, suffering from the peculiarities of the legendary Salamanca venue).

From there the rave began, with the songs from his latest work “Emptyer” (Helsinkipro, 23). The different generations that were there danced “Hikutsu” o “KLF” as if we were all transported to the clubs of those nineties and early two thousand. It is inevitable to look nostalgically at past eras, but at the same time it is comforting that there are bands that reinvent sounds that currently might seem to have aged regularly. In short, it was a very direct performance by the band, without extending the party too much. They came, saw and convinced those of us who did not want to miss the opportunity to see a band that sounds like many things but at the same time makes it unique and with personality.
