We told you not to miss it and I hope you blindly followed our orders.<\/p>\n
When was the last time you went to a gig and had a reception with free fruit salad on a stick and plethora of drinks to choose from? Lugar Comum, the promoters from the Coimbra show, really did their best to make sure you were in the right mood to properly enjoy some\u00a0Sonny & the Sunsets<\/a><\/strong>, despite the rainy and windy weather outside. In the beginning of the concert, the band sounded a bit sloppy though, indicating that perhaps it wasn\u2019t a very good idea for us to sit down on the ground on a non-seated venue. Bands don\u2019t soundcheck thinking about people sitting on the ground, you know. In spite of that, there\u2019s nothing not to love about songs like \u201cReflections on Youth\u201d or \u201cLove Among Social Animals\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then, the band switched from a 3 piece to a two-guitar, four-pieced full fledged band, moved away from the garagy sound and turned into an unlikely country band (well, at least for those who were there for their earlier output and forgot to listen to their latest effort,\u00a0Longtime Companion<\/em>. \u201cMy Mind Messed Up\u201d was then played, and I can say I could go home satisfied right after that one, a song with an ability of blowing off the water every song played before it and probably my favorite song of the year so far. \u201cDried Blood\u201d and \u201cSea of Darkness\u201d also helped turning the concert into a southern cowboy party for some minutes, although we were all sitting on the ground like well behaved indie kids.<\/p>\n
