Thank youuuuuuu EnglishClub!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!! :-D Ehm... What has happened? Well, if I didn't know Dani (Jack Daniel's – my Czech neighbour) I would have never got to know about the awesome band Scott Bradlee Post Modern Jukebox. If I didn't know this band, I would have never gone to their concert! I would have missed a big amazing event!
Yes, you are right, dear reader...ME and DANI have met. Even though we are from the same country, we became friends thanks to the EnglishClub. Since Dani is a jazz fan, approximately two months ago she suggested to me one video of the American band Postmodern Jukebox and I immediately fell in love with it. I watched many, many other videos of them on Youtube like crazy.
However, wait a second, I guess I should firstly introduce you this band instead of cool blablaing here. Well, in short it is all about one ambitious man Scott Bradlee. This guy - founder, very talented pianist, musician, composer from New York started his group. He was always dreaming of such project and eventually his dream came true. With almost no budget, just one camera, talented musicians and singers he recorded videos in his own living room. During a year 2013 the videos became viral on YouTube and I can just say: Hats off becuase it is admirable to me! As for PostModern Jukebox one can come across various musicians, vocalists even teppers etc. They focus on covers of the songs we all know (such as by Maroon 5, George Michael, Da Vici, Lady Gaga, even Justin Bieber :-D etc.) … anyway.. what is so special about it? Firslty, they rearrange the songs so that they would sound and give atmospehre of 30' – 60', secondly the singers I have to point out ALL the singers have such incredible voices and are so talented that to listen to them is simply unforgottable experience. Thirdly, do believe me that if you listen to them, even your mom or grandpa will join you and will like it :-)
Anyway, let's go back to my story. One day Dani told me (of course in English because we communicate here almost only in English – nice nerds, ha?) that PostModern Jukebox would be soon on European tour and that..... they are coming to MY CITY!!! Can you imagine how excited I was? I couldn't have missed this chance!!! We bought the tickets online and were waiting and waiting for our big day. Finally, yesterday this day came and we met at the railwaystation. It was a way funny because we couldn't see each other. We both on the phone and standing just few meters from each other :-) It was nice to meet her and we directly went to the club, where the concert took part. Since we arrived there little bit earlier, we got great opportunity to stand very close to the stage. Wooow, such a short distance from all the musicians made it even more awesome! I felt like in the heaven because people I admired, watched their videos just via my laptop, all those people were suddenly in front of me! It was such a beautiful feeling to listen to them live and enjoy their fabulous show. I can hardly express it by the words because I lack the superlatives to describe it better. After the concert Dani and I went to Stodolni street, which is famous street with its 100 bars, clubs, restaurants, discos etc. As true devoted English fans we couldn't have chosen better place than Irish Pub where we were surrounded by many English speaking people, which made good atmosphere. We discussed the concert, gossiped about EC and had good fun, even though we both were very tired. I accomponied then Dani to the railwaystation and went back home. Even though I have slept just for three hours and right now I am totally dead, I will never regret because we agreed with Dani on one thing – IT WAS WORTH IT!
I would like to end up this blog with one proverb that suits the best to this situation: I killed two birds with one stone :-D Why? Easy, I met nice, smart, funny girl and we enjoyed great, awesome concert! Thanx, Dani!
Here are two links of the songs I love the most:
