Me habían hablado días antes del festival de un grupo llamado Lüger. Su música estaba en Bandcamp, por lo que pude echarle un vistazo y comprobar que resultaba un grupo interesante. No me dio tiempo a escucharlo casi, así que me presenté en el concierto a pelo y dispuesta a escuchar su trabajo en riguroso directo.
Tuve que salirme del concierto de Anna Calvi, pues las dos actuaciones coincidían. Pero es que he de decir que en estos festivales es en los escenarios pequeños donde saltan las sorpresas y algo me decía que se avecinaba una. Así que lamentándolo mucho me escabullí del sol abrasador del escenario de TVE para meterme en una sala que era un auténtico infierno.
El calor era sofocante, pero sin pensarlo dos veces avancé entre la multitud hasta colocarme exactamente en frente del escenario, a los pies de la banda. Y ahí me quedé, a sus pies.
No solo no me arrepiento de no haber escuchado ese disco, antes, sino que considero que fue todo un lujo y una bendición no haberlo hecho porque el impacto fue brutal. Sin lugar a dudas y desde los primeros instantes aquello era absolutamente diferente a cualquier otra cosa que hubiera podido escuchar antes.
No soy muy amiga de grupos experimentales, pero lo cierto es que desde Damo Suzuki a Lüger este año mi opinión sobre el género ha sido completamente demolida. ¿Quizás sea que hasta entonces no había escuchado algo bueno?
La música de Lüger es una música compleja, hipnótica y de gran riqueza. Su directo, a veces un auténtico espectáculo de sufrimiento, porque la entrega y el compromiso por parte de todos los componentes del grupo es total.
Creo que podría tirarme horas hablando de lo que allí vi y escuché, pero es mejor escuchar la música que leerla, así que os dejo el video de su actuación completa. Eso sí, si no estuvisteis allí os perdisteis el mejor concierto de todo el festival. Lüger, desde ahora LÜGER porque hacen MÚSICA con mayúsculas, fueron sin lugar a dudas los mejores. Y de esto si que no me retracto.

I was told days before of the festival about a band called Lüger. Its music was on Bandcamp, so I was able to have a look and see that it was an interesting band. I didn’t have almost time to listen to it, so I went to the concert willing to listen to their work directly in live.
I had to get out of Anna Calvi concert, because the two performances were at the same time. But I have to say that in this kind of festivals is in the small stages where you can find nice surprises and something was telling me that this band could be one. So regretting it very much I slipped from the infernal sun of the TVE stage to get into a room that was a real hell.
The heat was stifling, but without thinking too much I moved through the crowd to arrive right in front of the stage, at the feet of the band. And there I stayed, petrified.
I do not only don’t regret to don’t have listened that album before, but I think that it was even a luxury and a blessing to don’t have done it, because the impact was brutal. Without doubt and from the very beginning of me being there I realized that it was quite different to anything that I had listened before.
I'm not very keen of experimental bands, but the truth is that from Damo Suzuki to Lüger, this year my opinion on the genre has been completely demolished. Could it be that until then I had not listened a good thing?
Lüger's music is complex, hypnotic and very rich. His live is sometimes a true spectacle of suffering because of the total dedication and commitment from every member of the band.
I think I could be hours talking about what I saw and listened, but it is better to listen to music than reading it, so I leave the video of their entire performance. Of course, if you were not there you missed the best concert of the festival. Lüger, LÜGER from now on because they make MUSIC with capitals, were undoubtedly the best band. And I won’t retract from this.
