It was, just as I expected it, a great concert. Both Maximo Park and the Kaiser Chiefs are great live bands, and as a proper teenager, I jumped and clapped and sung and enjoyed every minute of it. And took some photos, which you can check out here.
Kaiser Chiefs (and now Maximo Park) are a constant on our house playlist, mainly because we are three persons with very different musical tastes and when we find something we all like, we play it over and over again. What I like about them is that, in contrast with lots of bands nowadays which are reaching into the eighties for sounds and influences, KC have more of a sixties vibe. And I was always a great sixties fan.

The great visionary Acácio Jeremias finally has a website of his own and it was designed by pap-L. Acácio is a hillarious character (born out of the twisted mind of Diz Que Disse's creator, André Toscano) intent on asking the questions no one has ever though about. While we wait for his book to come out, we can enjoy his video-podcasts (the title and credit sequences were designed by pap-L as well). The first one is just out, and a few more are on the way. So go there and have a laugh! (Sorry, portuguese only...)
