Must say that I had a really pleasant evening watching The Boxer Rebellion at the Hydrozagadka in the Praga district of Warsaw last night. I've only recently discovered The Boxer Rebellion, but very much like the kind of profound subtlety that they do.
Last night, I was glad to see that the band did my two favourite tunes of theirs: 'Semi-Automatic', the second tune in, and not long afterwards, 'We Have This Place Surrounded'. However, the song that they seemed to absolutely nail on the night was 'Diamonds' (below from the Jay Leno Show in the US):
Was also really impressed with the Hydrozagadka itself, as you can get nicely chilled bottles of both Perła and Lomża (two of Poland's better beers) there. Also, with the stage being set in a kind of small, almost triangular corner, it creates a kind of tight intimacy between band and audience, which was smilingly noted by The Boxer Rebellion vocalist, Nathan Nicholson, last night.
Also liked the decor and general atmosphere of the Hydrozagadka:
With the Hydrozagadka being next to the Skład Butelka, where I saw the Australian band Dandelion Wine a few weeks ago, it's interesting to see that these intimate concert places were once some kind of industrial units.
