It is uncommon to be “welcomed” by one of the protagonists of the night at the merchandise stall. Owen Pallett was distributing shy smiles among records and t-shirts, hinting that the first half of the show would certainly be Joel Gibb's responsibility.
With gnration's Black Box full, the Berlin-based Canadian artist entered the stage, shortly after 10 pm. With just a guitar, a double-mic and a bass drum, Gibb took us on a journey, lasting over an hour, through some of the main themes of The Hidden Cameras’ church gay folk, like Bread For Brat, Ban Marriage, Redemption, Smells Like Happiness, Freedom, A Miracle, Breathe On It, or the electronica of Origin: Orphan. In between, there was still time for an Instagram moment with the crowd chorusing Awoo.
On Joel Gibb’s debut in Portugal, also unsurprisingly, in this more intimate one-man-show format, Owen Pallett joined him for a large part of the performance, but that did not affect the provocative intensity of the lyrics and the celebratory power of the sexual freedom with which The Hidden Cameras marked the Toronto music scene at the beginning of the century.
The night was only halfway through when Gibb lefted and the stage was exclusively dedicated to the music of Owen Palllett. The violinist, composer and producer brought us “a couple of depressing songs from the last album” (Islands, 2020), such as Lewis Gets Fucked Into Space or Fire-Mare.
Good-humored while tuning the guitar (clearly not his instrument of choice: “Guitar is a boring instrument.”) and following the same celebratory tone of the night, Pallet offered us a retrospective of his solo career since Has a Good Home”(2005) through He Poos Clouds (2006) and In Conflict (2014) before ending with a rock version of Lewis Takes Off His Shirt from Heartland (2010).
Owen Pallett and Joel Gibb would return for the encore with We Oh We from the Hidden Cameras album Mississauga Goddam (2004). The words “All I want is to be under his covers and not just be a time from Yesterday” summon up a concert that celebrated the past with a gaze into the future.

And Also The Trees, Hard Club, Porto, 03.03.2023.

And Also The Trees performance began with the first chords of In A Bed In Yugoslavia jumping in the air an hypnotic invitation to a journey with several stops ialong the vast discography the band’s return to the stage on the Hard Club, in Porto, to the satisfaction of the audience that filled the room.
Captivated the audience with the recurrent opening on this tour, from their last album The Bone Craver (2022), the British quintet crossed over to Beyond Action and Reaction, with Grant Gordon's bass, slow, with a doom tune to merge with Justin Jones' guitar trill, lending to an exotic spice upon which Simon Jones' languid voice evolved. Your Guess (Born Into the Waves, 2016) extended a certain atmospheric singularity from the initial lineup, from the last work, to other well-interpreted revisitations, flowing between temperance and rhythmic explosion.
Maps In Her Wrists And Arms and The Suffering Of The Stream followed with the undisguised neo-romantic black and melancholic aroma conveyed by Simon Jones's impenetrable performance, in poetic prayer. The Book Burners, from their latest album, refreshed the landscape with a certain Balkan cabaret tone in a folk jazz link between Colin Ozanne's clarinet and Justin Jones' guitar. The themes flowed generously in a cohesive and intense interpretation, without blemish. A stage performance that was a certificate of vitality perfected by time.

A atuação iniciou com os primeiros acordes de In A Bed In Yugoslavia saltitando no ar, num convite hipnótico para uma viagem com várias paragens na muito vasta discografia dos And Also The Trees, regressados ao palco do Hard Club, no Porto, para satisfação do público que encheu a sala.
Cativada a audiência com a abertura recorrente nesta digressão, do seu último álbum The Bone Craver (2022), o quinteto britânico fez a passagem para Beyond Action and Reaction, com o baixo de Grant Gordon, lento, com uma toada doom a fundir-se no trinado da guitarra de Justin Jones, emprestando um tempero exótico sobre o qual evoluiu a voz lânguida de Simon Jones. Your Guess (Born Into the Waves, 2016) prolongou uma certa singularidade atmosférica do alinhamento inicial, do último trabalho, para outras revisitações bem interpretadas, fluindo entre a temperança e a explosão rítmica.
Sucederam-se Maps In Her Wrists And Arms, The Suffering Of The Stream, com o indisfarçável aroma neo-romântico, negro e melancólico transportado pela atuação compenetrada, em oração poética, de Simon Jones. The Book Burners, do seu último trabalho, refrescou a paisagem com um certo tom de cabaret balcânico, num enlace folk jazz entre o clarinete de Colin Ozanne e a guitarra de Justin Jones. Os temas fluíram, generosos, numa interpretação coesa e intensa, sem mácula, num desempenho em palco que foi um certificado de vitalidade, que o tempo tem apurado.
