Homeless are one of our bands (by now, I guess we have the honor to call them 'ours') and last friday, on November 15, they gave a very particular show - it was their Farewell Concert.
Moving to Canada, they decided it was only fair to give a final show and celebrate their music with fans, friends and people who followed their steps since the very beginning.
On a previous review, when they were still known as Unwanted Heroes - that you can read here, we said "their sound really relates with those classic rock bands, even though it would almost be described like grunge. Their sound is very clear and melodic. The songs seemed so elaborated, so well connected and so strong. All the instruments have a position and there are no gaps during the show."
After more than a year... some of those aspects maintain - but yet, they grew up. They got stronger, they achieve an amazing greatness on stage.
They were young and unexperienced musicians who had the eager to become something bigger and last Friday, we met a Homeless full of confidence and not afraid of showing off their talent.
Since this was a farewell concert, they invited their previous bandmate Pedro to play a couple of songs celebrating their Unwanted Heroes time.
There was time for everything - they entertained, they joked, they connected to their warm audience but mostly, they played music for themselves turning into this cosy, home-garage-feeling experience. Songs like Youth or If I Could Fly surprised me because it proved me (again!) why they are so talented.
They also did one of my favourite parts of their show: the incredible "drums jam" between Alexandre and Vasco, during Better Than This and Timbalitos, that really sums the band's connection in music and friendship (not mentioning, the guitar solo from António "Jesus" and the bass solo from Nuno).
Gladly, old classics like My Deadly Sin and Sinner were included in the celebration.
Last Friday, Homeless reminded me of the main reason why I love discovering young bands: they stay true to themselves, they play for the simple pleasure of playing together and that is the best feeling of all.
After so long, I still get impressed by their "great talent and multi-tasking" and also by their seriousness in their music.
Picking up a previous quote "I am shocked with their talent, their grace, their spirit. They are way too good!" - I guess that it doesn't matter how long it passes, I will always be amazed by their talent, their work and their connection.
Farewell Homeless!
