Fridays usually are hell for me. Its the last working day of the week (which already is way to short to get everything done) and generally marks the start of a hectic weekend schedule. Rushing from A to B, little sleep, …
This weekend wasn’t any different, although it started off pleasantly with me heading to BXL where I was invited to attend Studio Brussels’ Club 69. Yes, you read well, I was one of the lucky few to witness MGMT play a small & needless to say exclusive gig in the Marconi Studio 
It was one of the few smaller sessions MGMT will be playing this year and you could feel that Ben, Andrew & their fellow partners in crime enjoyed it. The sound was great, the crowd small, the vibe intimate. I guess that is what it must have felt like for them at the start of it all and it must have been a great change of atmosphere in comparison to all the concert hall or festival gigs they have lined-up.
Throughout the set their main focus was to showcase some new tracks. So what they brought was sometimes unknown for the crowd but luckily there was an electric feel & time to pretend also in it for them.
Pity my 3G connection was down inside the venue or I would have tried to stream some bits here and there 
The new album itself will be released on April 9. More psychedelic electro-pop (do not really know how to describe it otherwise) tracks than before and I must admit I have enjoyed listening to it. You can listen to Congratulations entirely on their site.
I enjoyed the session and all that remains is to say thanks to Sony Belgium for the invite & @boskabout for the company. Out.
