Dance! Dance! Dance! … to Fujiya & Miyagi! What a hell of a danceable party Fujiya & Miyagi’s concert at Mouco, in Porto, it was. A relentless assault of groove, intensity, joy and upbeatness.
Fujiya & Miyagi were presenting their new and ninth album Slight Variations of which they played an assortment of songs, including the opening one, Non-Essential Worker, as well as the title track, Digital Hangover or New Body Language.
Those and others songs, from previous albums, Freudian Slips, Ankle Injuries, Extended Dance Mix, Collarbone to name a few were all delivered with a ferocious mix of metronome precision and total freedom and abandonment. A singular mix of a blink of an eye to the symmetry and immaculate perfection of krautrock and the wildness of the most hedonistic dance floor.
The audience responded in kind to David Best (guitar, vocals), Stephen Lewis (synths, electronics), Ben Adamo (bass) and Ed Chivers (drums) by dancing like there was no tomorrow. They say an image is worth a thousand words and I feel like posting all the photos I took of the audience that illustrate such saying.
Oh!, by the way, did I mentioned the bass? No? Then, it was a thing of the Devil who, as it is well known, owns all the best grooves.
