On Friday the 3rd of May
at The Crow club we saw the dark alternative band Drama Queen
returning to the stage after a two year absence. They last
played live exactly two years before when they opened for the UK goth
band Siberia at Death Disco. Since then, the band has released their
second album "Going Nowhere" and this was the first
time they performed it live in its entirely.
The opening act was a new
band called Every Sunday. Although I knew nothing about this
band and didn’t know any of their songs, they were enjoyable to
watch. Their style could be categorized as alternative rock with many
dark elements. Their frontman and singer who was wearing a mask and a
top hat gave their performance a more theatrical tone.
Drama Queen kicked off
with the opener of their latest album, the instrumental track
"Cassini". Then singer Iliada stepped onto the stage and
joined the rest of the band and they performed "Regrets",
"The Dance", the speedy "This Narrow Place", "My
Lucid Dream", the dynamic "Greater Love" and "Time Goes By", all from their
latest album. They proved to be a very tight outfit, playing very
well together with a bulk clear sound. Especially for a band that
hadn’t played live for two years! Iliada sung with expression,
Dimitris guitar sounded great as always, Chris on drums was focused
on his hard thumping while Kiki on bass delivered some really awesome
basslines.
In the second part of
their set they played two new songs, "Lie" and "Closer",
before they played the tracks "Nightmares", "Questions
To Be Answered", "My Rain", "Echoes" and
"Humans" from their debut album "Artificial Galaxy".
They finished their set with two songs from their latest album, the
eponymous "Going Nowhere" and "Nuclear Winter".
Their show was a great comeback and we wish to see them again soon.
