The Bland @ Stathé

Axel is hanging upside down with his feet tied to the bass drum. The yellow color the audience painted his face with during the show is pouring down into his eyes as he sings out we all should ”melt into the night together”. The Bland and the audience have entered an elevated state in the last song of their show, and it feels like everyone in the venue have lived a life together.

The energy outbursts, rituals and experimental parts in The Bland’s indie pop performances often evokes acts like Arcade Fire, The Doors and The Rolling Stones and they’re developing a reputation for their eccentric and sometimes nearly psychotic stage presence.
