For other band it a brand is their logo or a deadringer. For New Model Army it's definately the beautiful gap next to a gold tooth in Justin Sullivans mouth. To be honest, Justing wouldn't be Justing, and New Model Army wouldn't be New Model Army without this sexy gap. Yes of course it's a matter of taste. But however... it surely belongs to it. For 27 years this band is going now, the band with the most line up changes ever. And yes, they have reached some kind of cultstatus, although according to Justin, the band had their 15 minutes in th early eighties, and that was it. But even 15 minutes can have a longlasting echo. I remember to have seen New Model Army in the eighties in London live. And last time I checked them out, they did a support slot for some german middleage-Rockband. It didn't go down too well of course. Because NMA music and the tunes of this german band has nothing in common.And those 3.000 fans then, came for the middle age Headliner. You could realise, that the chemistry wasn't right. But tonight everything is just perfect. An almost sold out Muffathalle with old and new NMA fans. To be honest, I wouldn't have thought, that it gets so crowded. Respect! Support comes from a new band named Demander, an indierockband from New York. The line up is rather unusal, which consists of guitarist Jared, a female drummer Sivian and the bassist and frontwoman Karen. The trio is going now for 3 years and just released their second album: 'The Unkindness Of Ravens'.
Pretty interesting indeed, the threesome
presents der individual touch of independence. And yes, Demander got som
potential, that's for sure. Most of all guitarist Jared is the one, who
draws the attention of the audiance what's up to musicianship. For al male
fans, also singer Karen makes a interesting visual appearance. The only
disadvantage is her - not fully developed voice, which sounds rather thin.
That's why this stint leaves only an average impression on me.
