Maleficent @ Camden Barfly
Maleficent demand attention.
Maleficent's extravagant show was once again different from the last ones... This time, they dared...To put a coffin on stage. I was wondering how they would manage to get Simona in there without looking cheesy (like she would just slip in it when "nobody" was looking) but they made it big by 2 people holding a huge black sheet between the stage and the audience, and everything happened behind it...
Suddenly the sheet dropped, and the music started...Different intro music, this one was darker and more threatening. The coffin opened and an articulated doll came out of it... stood up, and after a few steps was seringed by Jason, the second singer, and she collapsed back into the coffin... The intro stopped.
As the guitar started the intro of their first song, a roaring Simona jumped out of the coffin and we could recognise the other musical side of the band. ... She was wearing her magnificent black dress, with a victorian tail, that she wore at the last gig, and the tail came off half way through the set.
The bands energy was strong, and I never noticed something was not quite right for Simona, as she said later, she wasn't in her top form that evening.
I thought the show was just as good, if not better, than all the shows before.
O-F
