Music

Gigs with a difference 2/12

A Have you ever dreamed of meeting your favourite band? Or better still, having them play at a party in your house? These days, more and more singers and bands are being invited to perform in private homes.

5 And though you won’t be able to afford stars like Lady Gaga or The Killers, there are a lot of good bands who like to take a break from touring and can be seen ‘live’ in people’s living rooms.

B One of the first of these performances was given by 10 Rick Treffers of the Dutch band Mist. He asked some friends to come to his house in Amsterdam and listen to him playing some new songs. He wanted to know what they thought of them and the evening was a great success. After that, he set up an organization 15 called ‘Live in the Living’ (LITL) and you can now book a local band to play in your home via the webpage.

You don’t have to live in Holland either; events have been organized in Berlin, Barcelona and Madrid, and LITL is expanding. Rick believes a unique atmosphere 20 is created in this type of environment. ‘It’s very intimate,’ he says, ‘neither the audience nor the artist can hide – and every living room is different.’

False

How do you say success (paragraph B)

Friends in your language?

C It’s true; doing a living room gig is about as close as musicians can get to an audience. The British band 25 Scouting For Girls have played at big venues like the Koko club in London, but before their first private gig in someone’s house in 2010 they were really nervous – even though there were only about 15 people sitting on the sofa and the floor! Singer-songwriter 30 Sam Isaac has also given living room gigs all over the UK. ‘You just put a message on your MySpace.

People get in touch, say they’d be happy to have you perform, and you’re all set,’ he says. ‘The person who’s having the party gets to feel special because 35 they’ve got an artist who they are a fan of in their front room, and we get to actually go and meet nice people.’

D However, big clubs and arenas will never be replaced by small concerts in living rooms. In the modern 40 music industry, bands earn most of their money from concert tours rather than album sales, especially with illegal downloading and sharing. But there’s no doubt that a living room gig is something special. Just don’t forget to warn your neighbours first!

We were really excited, but waited patiently for hours. When they opened the doors, we ran fast to the front.

B We chatted nervously for an hour. Suddenly the lights went down and a drum started. As soon as Lady Gaga appeared, the crowd went wild. The music was really loud. During the concert she sang while she was dancing – all my favourites, such as Alejandro and Poker Face. Although we were near the front, we couldn’t see everything unless we looked up at the big screens. It was really hot, and we were pushed around a lot!

C After the concert, we felt exhausted. It was late, so we got a taxi together. We had all lost our voices and our make-up was a mess. However, it was the best concert I’ve ever been to!
