SUMMARY:Friendly Fires
LOCATION:AB Club - staand (Anspachlaan 110\, 1000 Brussel)
DESCRIPTION:Warning: Smoking Ban inspection during Friendly Fires on\nWednesday 18 May 2011Since 1 January 2006 it has no longer\nbeen permitted to smoke in public places\, so not in AB\neither. After consultation between AB and the Federal\nDepartment of Public Health\, Food-Chain Safety and the\nEnvironment\, there will be a number of inspections carried\nout in the AB over the coming months by the Public Health\ndepartment.The next inspection will be on the during the\nFriendly Fires concert on Wednesday May 18th 2011.    CMJ or\nthe College Music Journal showcase festival\, New York\,\n2008. Your AB-man on the spot notes vehemently in his\nnotebook: ‘Friendly Fires\, a fantastic live band\nconsisting of 3 musicians and a frontman/singer worth the\nname. Danceable\, jumpy pop with a great deal of hit\npotential. Note of this name because it's sure to turn\nup again’.Fast forward to 2011. Friendly Fires has indeed\nwon the world with their untitled debut from 2008. Their\nedgy dance-pop managed to comfortably nestle itself in the\nshort-list of well-reputed British best-album-chart the\nMercury Prize\, with singles like ‘Paris’\, ‘Jump In\nThe Pool’ and ‘Skeleton Boy’. They later also figured\nprominently at the Brit Awards in the categories Best\nBritish Group and British Breakthrough Act. That their music\nappeals to live-music aficionados but can just as easily\nturn a club in Ibiza upside down (listen to their Bugged-Out\nmix-CD) is a big bonus. Successor ‘Pala’ will be out\nmid-May via XL Recordings (that recently proved to have a\ngood nose for music with M.I.A. and The xx) and single\n‘Live Those Days Tonight’ from it is the first sign of\nlife.    Canadian art-rockers Braids were one of the\nhighlights of the recent SXSW showcase festival in Austin\,\nTexas. The foursome plays experimental dream-pop with a dash\nof shoegaze. ‘Braids plays knotty\, dense pop songs that\nfeel like re-imaginings of Feels-era Animal Collective songs\nspruced up with shimmering female vocals’. (Time Out New\nYork) Their album ‘Native Speaker’ is out now.          \n
