Nobody saw this coming

The long-awaited collab between Band Maid and The Warning. It’s called Show Them:

This is a really decent fanvid, but hopefully a more close-in more professionally recorded video will be forthcoming.

[UnseenParticipant]

I apologize for the nonworking video. It was apparently subjected to a copyright claim. On a fan video. Weird, because most fans are eager to share such vids with The Warning Army. But, it looks like some bozo thinks he can parlay a fanvid into a windfall. LOL Well, as soon as something more “official” appears, I’ll put it up, and it will certainly be of much higher quality and not shot from the nosebleed seats.

Some info about why the Band Maid/The Warning video take down happened:

[UnseenParticipant]

One of the better musicological analysts of The Warning dissects one of their best songs.

[UnseenParticipant]

The Warning hits the Billboard Top 10 at #8 in their category, Mainstream Rock Airplay, with the song Sick, which isn’t nearly as good as Hell You Call A Dream or Automatic Sun.

[UnseenParticipant]

A lot of bands disappoint live because they can’t bring it on stage the way they did in the studio. The Warning is not one of those bands, even in this fancam video from a recent show in Prague, it’s clear they don’t phone it in.

A not bad at all full concert fancam showing that they always deliver your money’s worth when performing live.

These girls never phone it in, even in a tiny venue like the SOMA club in Osaka, seating no more than 300. While the audience is never shown, they are performing on the club’s floor and not on a stage. Pau’s drum set isn’t even on a riser. Still, they put everything they’ve got into each song. These girls are superstars and yet…they don’t seem to know it!

[UnseenParticipant]

The Warning reached a national audience for a second time on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night. Not the song I would have chosen (Hell You Call A Dream, Choke, Money, Animosity, etc.) but at least they got on Jimmy’s show.

The new album, Keep Me Fed, has just been released, and here is one more song from it. Six Feet Deep (official video). I wish they’d quit processing their voices. One of the most charming things about their classic Teatro Metropolitan performances is the purity of their unprocessed voices. I hope they don’t die a DBO (death-by-overproduction).

[UnseenParticipant]

Well, Disney in their wisdom has been blocking the videos of TW’s performances on Jimmy Kimmel, but they are easy enough to find on Youtube. Sick and Automatic Sun were the tunes they played.

A bonus is that for the first time I’m aware of since their early TedX performanees, Dany is performing in a skirt.

Interesting interview filling in a lot of the blanks fans wonder about like the songwriting process. Also, Ale is now totally grown up. No longer the quiet one who lets her extroverted older sisters talk for her. And why don’t they write more in Spanish?

[UnseenParticipant]

An early video showing how good they were even then. Notice how Ale plays the ridiculously intricate bass part i pa overhand, presumably because her little fingers couldn’t reach those notes or make that stretch playing underhanded.

Compare it to the original by muse from one of their live concerts and your mind will be suitably blown. Their ages here 9, 12, and 14. Apparently, there is a gene for musical talent.

The video was posted Aug 7, 2015, which would make Dany 15, Pau 13, and Ale 10. I’m not saying this to correct you, but because I’m always remembering these days that Dany and Pau were born in early 2000 and 2002, while Ale was born in late 2004. I like watching people having difficulty calculating their ages when it’s really simple.

Of course, the video may have been taken significantly earlier, but I’m not bothering to check that.

Yeah, it’s fun to watch her play like that. Does look like an adaptive style. I’m seeing recently that Ale seems more comfortable singing, and her sisters are interrupting her less during interviews. (I think.)

I came today to post a new interview of them, and I think it was a good move to just interview Pau at first. Geez, she speaks like a bullet train at full speed sometimes. I’m mesmerized.

[UnseenParticipant]

Picking up on the previous post which centered on Paulina, it’s always a treat when she sings lead, and here she does so in their new song, Sharks, performed for the very first time in public. The video is just barely acceptable, the audio lacks much bass at all, but Pau (when you can see her) steals the show, and not just for singing.
