Rock This Macedonian Party.

Well, this story could be reffered to numerous new-found glories of numerous new-found musical creatures. Nowadays it's pretty hard to surprise fastidious public, which we present with the image of ourselves. We desire more, we ask for more... more amazements in enourmous world of sounds and cute attraction points in every song, which makes us if not moan along with the main voice screaming on the microphone, then at least make a little finger-play on wooden bar-table producing "echo-effect" with original drumbeats.
Hard job mixed with enjoyment. As it's harder than before to shine among numerous underground amateurs trying to fullfill the dream to be heard. Life of a Poet - you never know what you will get, but you never stop creating the reflections of your rich imaginary world, although so many times three dots are the fullstop of stories of new-found glories.
So what's going on here in Struga? I can tell it's a town of very talented kids [anyhow they stand out with ability to play more than one musical instrument...] grown-up with sounds of Rolling Stones , Eric Clapton and Metallica. Metallica more... for sure. As that's one of the bands making effective "electric zippers", when playing solos. Adding a bit sugar to this musical cocktail - a bit of Depeche Mode for a change ;)
So what can be heard finally from fulltime young orchestras? Mostly POP-ROCK [with gentle touch of joy taken from SKA] or revivals of old, well-known sounds of hits of last decades of 20th century. I shake my head, hearing Guns'n'Roses "Sweet Child of Mine", Lenny Kravitz "Fly Away" and Eric Clapton "Cocaine" like in those terrific past times of my youth. But anyhow, beside the well-known hits I can smell the search of new ways how to tell [sound] the same things. Most interesting part to hear - popsy/electronic hits in different rock versions, if I may call them that way. Lady Gaga's parts with male's voice and some more rough interlude sounds freakin' awesome. Maybe rock coverversions is a latest fashion in music business? Well, it will succeed for sure and will cover more public to follow...
I still don't have proper image of Macedonian young strivers of music world, but I continue watching fingers and exploring the sounds... that's the way aha, aha I like it...
