Sonic Syndicate, Live @ Tavastia 7.7.2007

The Swedish melodic death metal band, Sonic Syndicate performed at Tavastia club in Helsinki a day before their big gig in Ruisrock music festival in Turku.

By all meters the gig was great! Because Sonic Syndicate is a young band with young members, they performed with great energy and enthusiasm. Because they performed the next day in Ruisrock and the Tavastia gig was announced with a short notice there were quite few people in the audience. I think most of the fans bought a ticket to Ruisrock because it was announced a long time before this smaller club gig.

One special things about this gig was also that I noticed it thanks to Last.fm! It recommended this gig based on the music I listened to. Once again all music labels crying how bad thing Internet and piracy is for the music industry CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES!

It was of course a lot better seeing them in a small club than seeing them play on a big festival with tens of thousands of people not actual coming to see Sonic Syndicate. Instead now we had the opportunity to see them close up, in a small club, and the band playing with full energy! It was like a private performance :)

Usually I don't even buy band shirts from gigs, but this time I had to support them.

I also tested my Nokia E90 Communicator as a video recorder. See below a small video I uploaded to YouTube :)
