Archive @ Klub Studio, Kraków – 15 X 2009

I don’t recall the Studio club so packed..and I’ve been there on many occasions. I wasn’t aware of Archive‘s popularity in Poland until I saw the huge crowd in the club, and listened to the people who were on their Warsaw gig – a sold-out as well. They are a very nice mix of progressive rock, trip-hop and electronic – genres that always were and always will be popular here – so maybe that’s the answer? However, what a ordinary listener, like me, can say they are definitely great live!

The support for the night was BirdPen (a side project of one of Archive‘s musicians), a very decent band wit ha tragic lighting. The same goes for the main dish – but, of course, after the three first songs the lights got better. As usual…

Funny thing – the gig was supposed to start at 19.00, but when I entered the club at 18.30 the support was already playing. I think that’s the second time, the band started earlier than they were supposed to.

Also, there were rumours that the show’s gonna be cancelled because of the awful weather (Kraków experienced a heavy snowstorm the day earlier). Nothing of that kind!

The photos were done, both, for Wp.pl and Onet.pl. And if you are interested in buying any of the photos for a publication, please contact us.
