On Saturday,
November 23rd, the Greek duo Incirrina did a live
presentation at Death Disco club of their debut album "8.15" that was
recently released by Geheimnis records on vinyl. Special quest and opening act were
the Greek darkwave / post-punk band Ghostland.
The
guest act Ghostland appeared
first presenting us a set that featured a wide collection of songs from their debut
LP "Dances On Walls" released last year on the French label Manic
Depression Records. The three piece, with Makrina: vocals, Argyris: guitar
and Nikos: bass, also performed many new songs. They began their set with the
new song "Tuoemtel" followed by slower darker tracks "Ice Song"
and "Wind Of Knives" from their debut album. They continued with the
new tracks "No Place", "Burning Skies", "Strange
Ones" and "Trick Of Light" giving us a pretty good idea of what
to expect from their new album. The band continues in the same vein as their
debut and sounded very promising. They continued their set with more known
songs and albums favorites as "Don’t Wait", "Leave Behind",
my personal favorite "The Dancing Crowd" and "Lifeblood"
that really arose the crowd. For the end they played another new song called "So Far" on which Argyris and Nikos left their guitars and basses and took to
keyboards presenting us with a more minimal track, showing a different side of
the band, with Makrina also displaying some abstract vocals.
Incirrina, having recently released their debut album "8.15" on
vinyl, presented their songs live for the first time after its release. George
Katsanos and Irini Tini took their positions behind their synthesizers and
performed their debut almost in its entirety, except for one song. They began with
the album titled track "8.15" followed by "The Tyger",
"The Angel", "The Smile", "A Little Girl Lost"
and "The Sick Rose". All great songs showcasing their dark/minimal
wave sound, featuring the poetry of William Blake used for lyrics. They created
as mysterious atmosphere with their dark 80ish music made with their analogue
equipment that was set up nicely on the stage presenting a pleasant sight.
They also
performed for us some new songs like "Giskard" before continuing with
more album tracks like "True Love Doth Pass Away" and "The
Chimney Sweeper". The duo gave a good performance, with Irini and George
taking turns on the vocals. Amidst the warm sound of their synths and drum
machines, their drenched in reverb voices emerged through the smoke and stage
lighting that enhanced their show. Another new track, "Daneel" was
played, giving us another taste of their new material. The tracks "Holy
Thursday" and "London" from the album followed ending with
another new song, "Till The End Of Time".
