2014.05.27 Upstairs

On the 27th we had the great opportunity to play again at the Upstairs Jazz Bar. This time we had a large group of friends from our workplace that came to see us, which on itself made the whole experience a blast. As we always do, we enjoyed the event and played a lot of music. The show was transmitted through the Upstairs website, and we received reports that the transmission was pretty good, the sound was great and friends and family all around the world could enjoy the event along with us.

Below a few videos we captured, thank you Beatriz for your dedication recording these.

2014.04.12 Petit Medley

Saturday, April 12th, 2014 we played at the Petit Medley on a self-promoted, self-financed, self-produced show, and we got the enormous pleasure to deliver our music to a full-house, people had trouble moving around.... really a fastastic atmosphere, surrounded by lots of our band's friends, a night we will never forget. For the event we had what we consider one of the most musically (and phisically) demanding sets, as we had continuous "challenges" throughtout the songs we played, which once we finished proved us that "we still got it".

As it was the first time we presented Krakatoa there, the people from the Petit Medley are absolutely great to work with, they made it very simple for us at each step of the way. The soundman that night was also a musician that knew how to follow the pulse of our music with great mixing and lightning work.

That night we invited Julie Chapais to play with us, for the first time. July delivered an amazing performance clearly stating her unique style, which moves from very sweet and jazzy to very dark and assertive within the same phrase. With her we played "Nouveal Chemin", "Mercurio", "Bronx" and at the end during the encore she came back so we could finish the night with the febrile rythm of "Atomik Underwear"

Thank you to all of those that could make it, it was a wonderful night for us. Thank you Bea for filming these videos for us!!

2012.04.15 Club Balattou

Last Sunday we played at the Club Balattou again, and as it was on other occasions, we had a lot of fun, the sound was great and this time the weather collaborated a little bit more, it was a fantastic spring night in Montreal. This time we played some new material, including "Plus-que-parfait", a jazzy/funky piece we like very much with Richard on the Tenor and Gustavo on the Bass and "Esparaban" a spanish/flamenco/middle-east delirious song that starts all warm and fuzzy and ends on a catrastophic metallic-Paco-de-Lucia emulsion. This time we resucitated "Baghdad", a very percussive song with lots of samples and middle-eastern flavours.

Below are some images, thank you Beatriz for the photos and video.
