“Supergrass played in Argentina”a phrase that should have been said a long time ago was finally said and came true Friday night in the C Art Media from the hand of indie folks. But why did Oxford’s native to arrive in Argentina take so long? Only they know, but surely, after the lived last night it will not be so long for us to see them again here.
Supergrass, a Britpop jewel
And if we talk about Britpopobviously we talk about Oasiswe talk about Blur And we talk about Pulpa kind of Santa Trinidad that knows what the Argentine public is. But beyond these bands, there is one yet knew what that love, one that broke into 1995 with his debut album, broke up, “I Should Coco”obviously it is about Supergrass.
The band led by a young man named Gaz Coombes next to Danny Gaffey and Mick Quinn sounded around the world with his mega hit “Alright”.
Beyond listening to the song again and again on the radio, it is impossible not to remember the video rotating in MTV or Muchmusic. He started with Rob Coombes (Gaz’s brother and later official member of the band) playing that classic intro in his piano on a beach and then continued with the main trio walking by bicycle and walking in a mobile bed singing: “We are young, we run free”but also admitting “We are strange in our worlds”. Joy and introspection, in a single song.
The show: a celebration for the 30 years of “I Should Coco”
THE HAPPY Show Supergrass in Argentina It occurred within the framework of the 30th anniversary of “I Should Coco”and it was a party with all the lyrics.
The night began with Turf As a support band, an ideal number to start the night. It was a forceful 45 -minute show with several songs from “A stack of life” And his great successes with a Joaquín Levinton Inspired and excited to be part of a historic night. So it was so, before playing “Casanova”Levinton acknowledged the influence of Supergrass In this song: “We drip this song a bit,” said the singer referring to his resemblance to his resemblance to “She’s So Loose”.
Finished the show Turf And being 21:40, finally Supergrass He went on stage of C Art average and gave way to a show at the height of the wait.
The first part was completely reviewing his debut album and thus sounding: “I’d like to know”, “Caught by the Fuzz”, “Mansize Rooster”, “Alright”, “Lose It”, “Lenny”, “Strango”, “Sitting Up Straight”, “She’s So Loose”, “We’re Not Supposed To”, “Time”, “Sofa (of My Lethargy)” and “Time to go”. In the middle, the harangue of the people, the gratitude of Gaz and company, a true party before an audience “+35” completely ecstatic.
The show promised the review of “I Should Coco” and some more hits; Arrived that moment, the band fulfilled. The second part of the show included “Richard III”, “Late in the Day”, “St. Petersburg”, “Mary”, “Moving” and “Grace”the latter gave way to the false farewell. After several minutes and the sound of the song “Supergrass, Supergrass, Dale Supergrass” the band returned to close on the top with “Sun Hits The Sky” and “Pumping on Your Stereo”.

Indie folks
An treasured end
30 years later, we are no longer young, perhaps we cannot run so much, and we are surely still strange in our own worlds, but we come out a debt. We witnessed a historic night, rather: “A kind of historical reparation”. That band that we saw so many times in the Misca channels finally played Argentine soil, finally stood in a local stage and infected with its music an audience that will undoubtedly treasure tonight forever.
