Two years ago Johan Lei Gellett, former drummer of Kira And The Kindred Spirits, recommended me to give a listen to a new upcoming band, AIM. Unfortunately I was not available on those nights they played in the city, so I never saw them when they still performed under that name. So I took the opportunety after beeing invited to a concert in Huset by guitarist Adam Olsson.
In 2003 AIM won the Danish Award, Live Contest 03, for best upcoming band. Recently the former frontsinger was replaced by the gifted and beautiful Veronica d'Souza and at the moment the young band is recording their first ep. At the same occation they changed their nave to Aimology.
They gave a vivid concert, - more a show rather than a performance, all dressed in white (a problem for the camera!) and they were all very entusiastic and energic on stage. In the mid 70's their music fashion would have been called punk, but nowadays it is merely concidered good power-rock music. Art-punk may be more exact. The closest comparisation I can recall is with bands such as The Sounds, The Hives and The Kills.
It was nice to see these youngsters and their energy at stage. I hope that they manage to transform this energy into the tracks in the studio.

Visually Veronica no doubt was the focusing point, - a statement which should be proved by the photos below! I'm sure that there're a lot of talented bands out there, but not many are that lucky to have a lead singer with so much stage charisma as Aimology has in Veronica. A good start for a band which has to compete with so many bands on fame. So I really believe that Aimology has a chance for a larger audience if they play their cards well.

Right after the show I made some band shots in the backstage room. They can be viewed at the bottom of this page.
