Another historic February 27, this time with earthquakes, was what promised visit LCD Soundsystem. Debut and farewell in Chile for a project that on April 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York, will give the last concert of his career. A decade fueled by James Murphy as an icon of electronics and pulse of the Big Apple.
Through his work as founder of the DFA label, musician and producer, the U.S. supplied dancefloors around the world between 2001 and 2011. Ten years in which their services were required by characters as disparate as Britney Spears and Arcade Fire, until notoriety grew tired and do announce the dissolution of the band.
With plenty of detail to build a great history of rock'n'roll and finish become myth, James Murphy took the stage of Teatro Caupolicán, when the rest of his companions were already placed on stage. The output of the vocalist was the culmination of a dream team whose stay alone, could be synonymous with celebration. List
group and their credentials is breathtaking, but is a necessary exercise. The musicians present were Al Doyle (Hot Chip) on guitar, bass, keyboard and percussion, Pat Mahoney (ex Les Savy Fav) on drums, Nancy Whang (The Juan MacLean) on keyboards and vocals, Tyler Pope (!!!) in bass, keyboards and guitar and Gavin Russom on vocals and keyboards (an instrument designed for UNKLE and Murphy himself).
Such training could not do more than strike down the public, which failed to fill the precinct of San Diego, although it was enough for the bottom of the stage became a cauldron dance. Above, a few spectators (there was only distinction between stage and general) watching from the stands as Murphy, the alchemist, gold became a mix of Talking Heads, electro and post-punk house.
With his concert in our country and the rider of Captain in the arm, LCD Soundsystem ranked (empty so far in Chile) in the table on which sat previous visits also like Cut Copy, The Rapture, Klaxons and Hot Chip: the chair of the father.
the night of Feb. 27 gave us more than we could ask. Two references to Daft Punk (a revamped 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' and the short interpolation the single of the French 'Da Funk'); explosive power ('Dance Yrself Clean'), singles ('Drunk Girls', 'I Can Change ") and the thrill of closing a huge' New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down 'and the vocals become a crooner's first line.
Although there were indications at the end of the group since its lifetime countdown runs, LCD Soundsystem off the stage quickly, with no crocodile tears or long goodbyes with the public. James Murphy left the same way he came, always looking forward. Constructed as heroes history.
