Her Space Holiday - Kanazawa Gig

Past - Japan

Tuesday, 05 February 2008

This is Her Space Holiday, headed by Marc Bianchi (second from the left). While on a crazy trip to Kanazawa with a few friends, we stopped off at a club that they happened to be playing at. It was off the hook. Probably one of the best gigs I've been to...

From left to right the picture above features the drummer, Marc, the base guitarist, the Japanese promoter, and Marc's girlfriend (she wasn't in the band).

Marc usually produces the electronica music alone, but brought along the drummer and base guitarist especially for their Japan tour. It was an amazing mix of beats and melodies, with a touch or rock.

Marc had previously been the electric guitarist in a very heavy rock metal band, which he left to create his own very different sound. I have two of his albums, The Young Machines, (which I bought at the gig), and The Past Presents the Future.

After the gig, I had the privilage of meeting Marc, the rest of the band, and his girlfriend. They were a really cool bunch of people. Her Space Holiday is truly a strange name so I decided to ask Marc's girlfriend how the name came about (I would have asked Marc but he was signing autographs at the time). She told me that it had something to do with a dream he had about, and the 'Her' refered to a different girlfriend he had been with.

He admits that his voice isn't the best in the world, but his music is much more than just the singing. In my opinion it doesn't take away from the music, and the sound and his lyrics really takes centre stage.

His videos are just as creative as the music he produces and I have placed one of them Japanese Bubblegum, in my Timeless Music section. 'We are more afraid of you" is one of my favourite Her Space Holiday Tracks, but I couldn't find that on youtube. I have however placed another great song, My "Girlfriend's Boyfriend" just below. I hope you enjoy it.
