And the last one...
Slim & Whylan aka Cachorros already opened for Los Zigarros last summer. This time they played on electric instead of acoustic, with the addition of a drummer. The Barcelona duo formed by Alex Slim (bassist of the Guns N'Roses tribute band Attitude For Destruction) and Genís Whylan (the hats man!) spends the summer on the island playing sneaky gigs here and there. Their set was again based on covers that went from Johnny Cash to The Black Keys. They played almost the same than last year, although they had less time on stage, the only novelty being Robert Johnson's "I believe I'll dust my broom".
They'll be playing at Can Jordi this coming tuesday, where they'll have time for a longer repertoire. It will be their first time at the temple of blues after Genís' unannounced appearance at the end of june.
In between the two concerts, the promoter Diego Calvo handed over a check to Ibiza Preservation's fundraising manager Vanda Mustur for 1.100€, which have been collected during this year's six dates. Much less than what was collected in 2019 for Save A Girl Save A Generation but in 2021 fewer people could attend to Santos due to the never ending restrictions...
The singer and keyboard player Johnny Cifuentes was one of the founding members of the legendary Burning, authors of one of the all time best live albums in spanish (Burning en directo - 1991). After a 45-year career, the influential rock band from Madrid embarked on a farewell tour in 2019. Last year he released a solo album as Johnny Burning called Hagámoslo. During the last two decades he became the only founding member alive in Burning and unsurprisingly there's no difference at all between their last albums and his first solo release. The classic sound of his old band, that remind us of New York Dolls, Mott The Hoople, etc, is still there. Actually, he's accompanied by two ex-members of Burning, Nico Álvarez on guitar and backing vocals and Maikol Slingluff on the saxo. Nico Roca on drums completed last night's band line-up, although he's usually backed by many more musicians.
He first played on the island back in 2014 at the disappeared El Sitio in San Antonio. With his inseparable sunglasses and his tremendous charisma, he won us over right from the start. Half of the set was dedicated to present his latest album, with songs like "Malas tierras", "Un duro invierno" or "El diablo en el hoyo" (with the beautiful line Petty and Lou aren't here, what will I do if I ever miss my Stones). The other half, to some of the many classics in his back catalogue, including "¿Qué hace una chica como tú en un sitio como este?", "Esto es un atraco", "Mueve tus caderas", etc. Amazing stuff. Even if he played longer than other bands, there was still many tunes I'd have loved to hear but that's what happens with artists with such a long career.
A perfect way to finish Dorado Live Shows, which is carrying on at the moment at Romeo's with the last The Love Motel party of the summer. Concept Hotel Group's cultural agenda continues with Cinerama, Sonorama goes to Ibiza, etc. Last but not least, Rock Nights' annual end of season knees up at Pikes takes place the second friday of october as usual.
