Originally from Chicago, Madina Lake has done us the honour to play in France after a notable absence of nearly two years. Just back from the UK, after many days full of emotions, the group continues its impressive European tour through Paris. Unique French date, their arrival was providential and that is probably due to the expertise and ingenuity of Only Talent Production that we have this privilege. In the middle of switching, they have recently left the prestigious label RoadRunner and are currently in negotiations with several majors.
Freed from all constraints, an atmosphere of renewal plane around the group and it is under these new auspices that they invest the scene of The Glazart. This time, they share the scene with two amazing support bands: Kipling, a French band pretty much inspired by Thrice, and Young Guns, an English rock band whose rise was meteoric. Needing no shiny or aesthetics to deliver a unique show of quality, members of Madina Lake always bring with them a bright light totally 70s inspired in a sort of form of “Madina lake”. Cleverly, they deflect visual aids that are often limited in concert halls without any needs of extravagant use of fireworks.
The show is beginning with an exclusive live intro Scorched Earth; so the group members sweetly take place on stage. Wearing almost immaculate white clothes, Matthew, Mateo and Dan settled behind their respective instruments. Thus the first notes of Never Take Us Alive ring to the bottom of the room. Deriving from their latest album Attics to Eden, this popular piece is undoubtedly the best entrance to represent their new album. The delayed arrival on stage of Nathan only accentuates the euphoria of an impatient and excited crowd. Fully dressed in black and leaping in all directions, the singer finally joined the group and sings his first lyrics. Together they prepare to inject their excellent musical vibrations to a room invested in mass by their French fans.
Continuing with the flagship titles of From Them To Us, To You, such as Adalia, One Last Kiss or the eminent House Of Cards, much more directed in a post-hardcore and alternative rock style, Madina Lake leads the public to hide behind an almost palpable frenzy. Then the wealthy Let's Get Outta Here seems to be claimed as the anthem of their latest album. However, it is with Statistics, new radio single in England, that the movement is launched. This dynamic and intense piece, with its very groovy bass lines act like a mantra, and its fuels inflame this special evening in Paris.
Stars just came in the middle of the set as a deep breath of fresh air and melancholic lyrics associated with Nathan’s God's clear voice accentuate the music in a so idyllic way. Lacking a capsize of Pandora which is rather poor and irritating, the group began to falter. Unfortunately, time is running out faster than we thought and the set list is reworked at the last minute, leaving behind them a feeling of incompleteness. Despite conditions not conducive to personal growth, the group's frontman, Nathan, feels enough confident and close to his Parisian audience to feel free to talk about his difficult moments, as the permanent cessation of taking antidepressants, and allows insist on the importance of living the present moment. The public, probably not enough fluent, pays little attention to these confidences firmly touching and sincere, without fully grasp the meaning.
So bluntly, the group raise the machine with Welcome To Oblivion, Not For This World and Legends. The intimate room of the Glazart is thus gradually transformed into a privileged and coveted place of celebration. Punctuating their set, ideal diverse mix of their two albums, with the famous Here I Stand and the instrumental track Lila The Divine Game, the group completes its delivery.
The recent group autonomy has undoubtedly been a key factor in achieving a real stage performance. Despite some uncertainties, and staying true to themselves, they left behind them a special stamp and a satisfying feeling of well-being now surrounds the site. Having completed their tour in Europe, the group is now directed to a third album, last episode of their little story, and they will certainly release a book about this phenomenon. Present this summer on many European festivals, this term appears as the clear continuity of an unusual background. Madina Lake demonstrates in so many ways, that wisdom, sincerity and talent are the most feasible routes to prosperity.
