VOICES FROM THE FIRST BRITISH WAVE band / project composed by some musicians from Pesaro. In a period of revival – it will be said – it is easy to re-propose the classics of the new wave; those songs composed between ’79 and ’81 that most of the current twenties ignore. The Voices project is however more ambitious, because they lived and loved that period, and today they reappropriate some masterpieces reinterpreting them in a swing / jazz key with a truly original sensibility and passion. Opening the concert is Making Plans For Nigel by XTC, whose typically post-punk minimalism combines the trumpet of Gigi Faggi. But the whole concert is a whirlwind of memories for those who grew up with the Joy Division, the Cure, the Bauhaus, the Wire and the Clock Dva. The apex of the show is represented by Atmosphere, at times even more tormenting than the original version that gave us Ian Curtis and members, while You Should Have Known Better by the Wire is totally distorted and updated to the nineties.
