Maria Viskonti and her band was support for Maya Albana this night at Loppen at Christiania (see photo series of Maya Albana). There was not time for a sound check, so the concert went on right away, - quite in the spirit of Maria's, I believe, as she is much into spontaniously performed music without too much editing. She perfers first takes at recording sessisons, to preserve the energy into the tracks. I agree completely at this point, so again the band managed to bring memories back to a small music club in NYC in the mid 1960's.

What Maria lacks in stage experience, she has plentifully in musical quality. I still miss to feel that the band enjoy to perform. Maria has no reason at all not to believe in her materia, whatsoever. Her strong songs are really quite unique. I just not hope, but I'm firmly convinced that here we face a coming great talent at the Danish music scene. Watch her closely! Only thing she needs is an efficiently working promotion management, which unfortunately is a must these days.

We got a rocking set of songs from Maria Viskonti's brilliant debut album, Burn the Bridge, and a priviously unreleased song, See The Saddest Girl.
I look foreward to follow this young talent in the future.
