Blues Pills (and Spiders) Live at Warsaw Klub Progresja 17th June 2015


Great entertainment at the Klub Progresja last night with the Retro Rock of (Swedish bands) Blues Pills and  Spiders.

Decided to go to this after checking both bands out on Youtube, and much liking what I heard (for me, Rock music getting back to the way it should be with an early/mid-70s kind of feel).

About Blues Pills, I really like the pulsating rhythm of drums and bass (especially in 'High Class Woman'):


 Like many people have said, Blues Pills take you back to the times of Led Zep; Janis Joplin; early Fleetwood Mac, to better times in music.

It's stating the obvious to say that Elin Larsson has a great voice, but she's also incredibly energetic on stage:


 Contrasting nicely with the incredible composure of young guitarist, Dorian Sorriaux:


But for me, the thing that impressed me most was the pulsating rhythm section, especially the bass play of Zach Anderson:


Before the band did 'Devil Man' as their final encore, they did a much slower, new accoustic tune which kind of gave a nice taste of things to come.  Really feel that this band will continue to be really interesting if they experiment enough.


And Spiders?  Well, having had a look at them on Youtube, I made sure that I got up to the Klub Progresja in time to catch them.


Like Elin Larsson from Blues Pills, Spiders' front woman, Ann Sofie-Hoyles has a great voice and a massive amount of energy on stage.


Without knowing any of their tunes, I enjoyed Spiders as much as Blues Pills.


And the band got a great reception from an appreciative crowd.


Just feel that the future of Rock music seems to be in really safe hands with the likes of Spiders and Blues Pills (and the German band Kadavar too).


And the Klub Progresja was almost packed out with an air of expectancy, a great response to two up-and-coming kind of bands.
