ALICANTE. The nights of the summer of 2020 were lived musically in a unique setting in the city of Alicante. In the so-called new normal, a project emerged from the hand of Baltimore Productions in the Port of Alicante, called Mediterranean Nights, that kept the music and live shows going. After a long journey through the desert of live music for more than three months in the Alicante capital, this Saturday, March 6, has led to the start of a new cycle of events in the same location under the name of Pier 12.
With activities scheduled, for the moment, until the month of October, a Multi Open Space in Alicante. A concept at the height of the most cutting-edge spaces in Europe, where live music is combined with activities for the little ones, monologues and the FoodMarket area with a stage so that nothing is missing.
This Saturday, the venue opened its doors for the concert of the new season: Second, the Murcian band that has Alicante as its second home. Between clouds and a ray of sunlight, the Guirao brothers, Fran and Jorge, along with Nando Robles and Sean Frutos, arrived on stage with great applause and eager to enjoy them, there was their unconditional audience and all the paper sold since days ago.
The show started with Meet. At the end, Sean greeted everyone and thanked everyone for their attendance: “A concert is a gift these days. We apologize for the delay. The queue was long and we wanted you all to be in your places from the beginning”, He indicated after recalling the need to comply with the rules. Then they would sound 2502. Feel like an eagle or a hawk, and live and A new sensation.
With Who thought about that? Sweet Winter, Inexperienced Level and Between Verses of Pleasure the concert acquired emotional overtones, contrasts and reflections, many of the songs were transformed and transcribed new meanings, also with sounds different from the band’s conventional live performances. A balance in these so-called semi-acoustic concerts that satisfy everyone’s needs.
For a moment Fran has left her drums to sit at the piano and accompany Sean’s voice in Infinite TheaterThen some rays of sunlight appeared and Sean did not hesitate to bring out the colors to Fran: “You touch and the sun comes out,” he joked. Then it sounded In another dimension of Rings and Roots, the last studio album from Murcia.
“We are going to sing, we are going to bite”Sean said. Bite me, a song he dedicated to a friend who was in the audience and to whom he wrote the song: “Today he is here with that girl, and with his daughter, sometimes the stories end well”. Just a couple of days ago, Second launched a new song on all digital platforms, which, according to them, “has been simmered, unhurried, pampering every detail, letting emotions flow, something inevitable since the sound of the first chord ”. It was time to hear for the first time Your goodbye song. Another recent song is On the strong rope, which came to light after the hard months lived last year and which can no longer be absent in his live performances. Like an exhalation of sensations, the concert came to an end, with a song from the last album Look at the people.
With loud applause, the band left the stage, but… a second later Sean and Jorge returned to perform More luck. With the four of us on stage, it was the turn of It will sound everywhere.
In 2009 he saw the light of his first full-length work with 12 songs, and for the first time in his career, all in Spanish. An album that they reissued 10 years later and marked a before and after for the Second, Fractions of a second. Since then we have filmed “in many theaters, theaters, festivals, stages, places that have become a Corner exquisite, two songs to end noon and “launch a message for the whole Universe”.
Muelle 12 takes over this season with the experience gained from what has become a benchmark for musical offerings (and logistics) in Alicante.
