GBH + UPSET NOISE + NEW REAL DISASTER + A NEW SCAR + VIVERE MERDA LIVE in FERRARA – 12/19/15

Premise: due to various delays and meetings with some friends that I don’t see too often, I missed some bands. This live report displays an extraordinary collaboration with Francesco “Monta” Montanari, organizer of many concerts around the area, Stakhanovite of the punk rock genre!

T.S: …it was my seventh attempt to see GBH live and I was finally able to do so and, furthermore, it was a great date! I’m talking about the live show of Saturday, December 19th, at the Bolognesi arci circle of Ferrara. GBH weren’t the only ones to play, they were accompanied by the reunited Upset Noise (history of the Punk Hardcore genre of Trieste), by New Real Disaster, punk rockers from Lucca, by A New Scar, hardcore punk trio formed by our friend Dezo from Pordenone (ex Spavaldery, Oath, Post Vomit Voice), Diego from the band Impact and Bone from Upset Noise and Eu’s Arse, and by Vivere Merda from Udine. This concert was a “must”! Backpack filled with beer cans and, with the boys from Chies D’Alpago (two of them play in the band Joke It), I’m off to see the concert. The minute we got there, we immediately realized that the venue was a deconsecrated church, a fact that I really liked…

F.M: What can I say…such a lineup overturned everything in a great way! GBH are always a certainty: 75 minutes of concert, attitude and power! Pogo and stage diving were present during the whole show with kicks in the face and flying legs! Extraordinary! It was an honor to have them among us! Legendary and not only on the stage! Upset Noise, giants made in Italy, proved that Italian HC is still alive and kicking ass! They kicked asses a whole lot! Performance and track-list created mayhem underneath the stage and…goose bumps! Great people! A New Scar is a new project that left us speechless. Their show was hypnotic and a “high quality” destruction and it lasted 30 minutes, 30 minutes hard to forget! It was special! Vivere Merda were biting as usual and the impact left marks that won’t easily go away! They had the power to incite the audience even though they were the first band to play. It’s always a pleasure to have them here with us. I would have them play at my house every weekend!
New Real Disaster: punk rock from Tuscany that teaches and leaves a mark! What a concert! What a presence and what an energy! Their songs immediately stick to your head, they make you jump and sing! This band will be on a lot of people’s lips, trust me!
A big “thank you” to all the people that played on that stage. Real people that proved that punk rock is a long way from being dead!! I also thank the people that supported this event: the Agriturismo Ai Due Laghi,  HORIMONO TATTOO PIERCING FINALE EMILIA (MO) , La Cura Divina and Salad Days Magazine. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened last night and a thousand more times! A bow to you! I thank with all my heart the guys from Frammenti Di Un Cuore Esploso, Francesco Artioli and the people that recorded the event and that will gladden us with photos and report videos. I thank our photographers Andrea “Canthc” and Enrique Olvera! I thank Simo, Alessandro from Hellfire Booking Agency. I thank a lot Francesco Frenzo and Giova for the back-line. A special “thank you” to the people that still believe and work hard to keep music alive in Ferrara…the Bolognesi arci circle that invests in these events and always gifts us with this kind of events. They are a fantastic crew and special friends!

T.S.: Monta, you said everything that could be said! I can only add that it was a hell of a concert. I thank the great bands, always focused on the songs and on their surroundings! Exceptional!
Greetings to everybody and I’ll see you next time! Thank you Montaaaaaaa!
