A Halloween party that isn’t a Halloween party at all: “Future Islands” performed in the Vienna Arena on the last day of October – without any costumes but in a very good mood!
What do I like to do most on Halloween? don’t celebrate Halloween! I prefer to do another activity – and so I was really looking forward to the “Future Islands” concert, which took place on Halloween evening. Being able to be on the go and still not have to hang out at a weird Halloween party – that was an absolutely fantastic idea.
When we arrived at the arena, I immediately secured our regular seats at the front – I just wanted to see everything from the Future Islands show. But before the main attraction of the evening took the stage, “laundromat“It’s the turn of Brighton to heat up the audience a bit. But that’s how it is with this Viennese audience: they showed little to no interest in the band. There was constant chatting and I even had trouble hearing any of the music right at the front. Yes, this chatter during concerts is probably the worst characteristic of Austrian crowds.
than at some point “future islandsAs they stormed the stage, those present finally began to keep their mouths shut. That was pleasant, because what was being performed really required full attention: because singer Samuel T. Herring was constantly whirling around, from one corner of the stage to the other, he didn’t know how to stand still. It was so impressive that I mightn’t help but be amazed.
I almost forgot to listen to the synth pop music because I just wanted to follow what Herring was going to perform next. He fell to the ground, he threw his legs up, he made movements that I didn’t even know existed. It was a real revelation: how can a person sing and jump around so much at the same time? I saw his sweat dripping down his forehead, I saw him sliding around on the stage floor, I saw his pants rip. I had never seen anyone before who felt so deeply regarding music and expressed these feelings in completely crazy movements.
Fortunately, I didn’t miss the big hits: “King of Sweden” and “Seasons” were so present, perhaps you might even hear these hits three kilometers away. samuel t. Herring left no stone unturned to attract everyone’s attention and ears. His band was less in the center and more in the background: they played the songs well, but they weren’t allowed to enjoy any major moments. Pity.
All in all, I really enjoyed this concert. The location, the sound, the movements – everything was just great!
