The Galicians Triángulo de Amor Bizarro (La Coruña, 2004) came to Bilbao this Thursday to present their seventh official album, ‘Sed’, and they had a great time. However, from a group that has entered our list of the best concerts of the year twice, we must always demand that extra extra that was diffused at the Kafe Antzokia for three reasons: it was the first time they performed there (yes, we also surprised when we heard him say it) and Isa admitted that she didn’t know it was so cool and so big, and that fewer people had attended than they probably expected, 250 young souls, ardent and predisposed more than expectant (20-30 years old were around the majority, at least ahead!). And on top of that, it took a while for the audience to arrive because when the show started there were perhaps 100 fewer people in the venue (“thank you for coming on a Thursday, such a strange day, to such a strong concert,” she subconsciously thanked before the seventh) ; The sound of the Antzoki was so good that she erred on the side of neatness; and in the end, let’s hope it doesn’t seem like an exaggeration, in penultimate place they colored the least round song, although it was the most celebrated in pogos, that wild and tribal dance in which the dantzaris push each other and run in circles (we describe it once again because we are in a general newspaper and not all readers know it, eh?).
The TAB concert lasted 88 minutes for 24 songs as varied as they were effective. The co-leading couple formed by Isa Cea, the seductive and ironic bassist and vocalist (and spokesperson, although she barely spoke!), and Rodrigo Caamaño, the agitated and impatient guitarist and also vocalist, alternated at the microphone and resolved the songs equally well. bombastically slow (“we promise there aren’t many like this,” Isa warned when presenting the first ballad, and in fact at the end she warned that she would skip another slow one) like the two-guitar rocks with the turbo on, the danceable ones on their own ( that there were) with the pieces of industrial intensity, and in the next two paragraphs we are going to explain it, to exemplify it in a more enumerative way.

The bizarre Galicians left at 9:38, eight minutes late (by the way: if they had put the concert at 9 o’clock, 50 or 100 more spectators would have attended, because at 11 and the subway runs out), and the same, cold, Rodrigo already contorted like a beast that asked for a ‘guillotine’ (it is unknown for who or who), and he did it in the inaugural ‘Robo tu tiempo’, like the Sleaford Mods with more packaging or instrumentation. The second time they accelerated with post-funk releasing the first flash (‘Evil as an effect of ill will’), the shoegazer abrasion fell from the sky with the sweet Isa on vocals (‘The Phantom of the Transition’) and the ecstasy that sometimes they reach Belako felt in ‘Friends of the Human Race’ (that of “capitalism is cannibalism”).
TAB, purely powerful, sounded like tough Australian rockers (‘Smells like cologne sparks’, then one of the absolute tops of Thursday, which was ‘El hymno de la bala’), they sporadically restrained themselves with soul from the third millennium (‘Canción de la death of the goldfish’), polar mid-tempos (‘The Spectator’) and spectorian ballads in a shoegazer or abrasive version (‘ASMR para ti’), concatenated industrial drones that not even Nine Inch Nails (in ‘Ruptura’, with husband Rodrigo in the role of a madman), they assimilated the dance after punk of New Order (‘Estrella Solitaria’), they dynamited the room with a string of rock and rolls with two guitars, those of Zippo and Rodrigo, and with the turbo at maximum (‘Canción de fame’ -perhaps the top of the quote-, ‘O Isa’…), they caressed pop (‘Baila Sumeria’), they introduced another rock and roll (‘Estrellas misticos’). And in the final shortlist they especially connected with the impressionable and predisposed parish thanks to the hymns ‘Barca quemada’ and ‘Vigilantes delmirro’, and the farewell (without an encore because these Galicians don’t do encores) with the very Joy Division ‘De la monarchy to cryptocracy’, ending what was given at 11:06 at night.
TAB have a very high standard and we have verified it once again. And we have not mentioned the drummer Rafael Mallo, who is a hyperdynamic star.
