Well, I was there...

Again I'm going to say it: I recommend Octopus.

The night started with the Perez Band, and then Octopus got onto the stage. This was the set:

- Bonsai - well, I guess, cuz I missed this one and I arrived right when it ways starting:

- Ruka Pillán

- ON/CD

- (a new one)

- Bipolar

- (a new one)

And that was all, less than an hour! Well, it was free... but a great show, with a good sound, loyal to that of the album.

Also good news were announced: Another gig on november, 3th, and the new album before August 2008.

Regards.

They've already written a couple of tunes and a new album is on the working! Cool!! How were those new tracks: continuing the essence of "Bonsai" or including notoriously new elements?

Kind regards.

I'd say in the way of Bonsai. The last one was something like ON/CD, very powerfull... and the another one it has a kind of riff, or how to say it, a section repeating over and over again that typical break which is repeated only one bar...

Whatever, I didn't notice a clear difference (well, there were no playback voices).
