I was lucky to see Kira and The Kindred Spirits and Beth Hart perform on stage within three days. Two very strong stage personalities, performing with emense energy. The two of them have much in common. I can only recall the late Janis Joplin being gifted with a similar raw and pure rock feeling, singing out all har pain, sexuality and soul.
From the very first time I heard Kira perform some two years ago. I was convinced that she and her band would be big, not only in this country, but abroad as well! I'm sure that their second album, scheduled for a 31st january 2005 release, will become the well deserved break-through in and outsite Denmark.
I've been to a lot of rock concerts during the last 37 years, and apart from a Pink Floyd concert in the beginning of the 1970's, a Bruce Springsteen concert and some of Bob Dylan's concerts, Kira and The Kindred Spirits' concerts are the best, I've ever attented!
We got a batch of songs off the new album, together with some of the classical songs from the debut album. Kira & Co also performed the great The Raphsody, which will unfortunately not fit in on the upcoming album.
If you haven't seen Kira & Co on the scene yet, there's still one more chance at Loppen on 16. December.
