For
some time it really looked like, as this finnish rockband is next big
thing on Rock'n'Roll Heaven, - the superstars from Suomi. But
unfortunately things have developed in a little different direction, as
we thought. Though a few years ago, they were hyped as 'the' Rockband
from Scandinavia, nice to look at with their Glam outfits and explosive
on stage like their idols Mötley Crüé and others. But the big break
through never happened yet. Meanwhile Lovex have changed their looks a
bit, maybe because they've grown up a little more within their 10 years
of existence. 3 albums is the result so far, whereby 'Watch Out' just
came out past spring. And this is indeed a very good record. But this
and quality doesn't help, when the rest of the world doesn't honour it
much enough. Maybe the other reason for this missing echo is the
departure from EMI label in 2009. We will never know for sure. But one
thing is for sure.despite an older age, Lovex still get hunted by all
the girlies on this planet. Yeah well, maybe only in Finland and Germany
in a small frame. And so the finnish quintet, who I've seen once before
a few years ago, appear here in Munich in a rather intimate atmosphere
within our Backstage Club, which is only half full. And that one
includes aprox. 150 girls and maybe 10 guys, fans who are left from back
then at a time where everybody thought, Lovex are gonna be the - Take
That of Hard Rock. |

So
put it that way, they made an effort to come across well in each way.
But of course it is to realize, that there is still experience missing.
That's why I won't judge those youngster too hard. Let's talk again in a
few years... well when Superscar are still around - or not...?! Lovex are far gone far beyond a beginner status.... |

And just to repeat myself, they have already 10 years of existence behind them, which they could have used much better then they've actually done. Their music contains a certain substance and some tracks are real smashers. The videos for those are highly professionell and the boys do look good as well. So what's the problem, the one who is handycaping the band from the big break through? We will never know exactly. But there is one aspect to feel,when watching them carefully. They can't manage to transfer their high energy Rock'n'Roll with the same power onto stage. There is not enough movement in the engine too less espirit and the sparkle is missing reigning on our heads... |

I don't believe, that it's only the small stage, stopping them from moving to much or the weak acoustic in here or the small audiance. Though those girls in here are very happy to see their young idols here right now on stage. Some of them travelled half of Europe behind the band. Thanks god, the lethargy doesn't last the whole evening and Lovex get better after a while, exspecially when they come to play 'Watch Out, followed by 'Bullet For The Pain' and U.S.A., which ends the official set. |

No clue what the cause has been for the slow motion in the beginning. But towards the end, Lovex are able to prove, that they can be a good liveband if they want to. Well, as I said before, these finns are much more experienced than the supportact, but they are young as well, so there is still a huge potential hiding. They have just to throw it out.
I for my part can
only say: pity, that songs such as ‚Watch
Out’ and U.S.A. don't get more noticed in the bright public eye. |
