Frida Hyvönen
Live @ 93 Feet East, London, UK 12/06/2006
Perhaps a half-empty venue where too many people in the back are chatting away, might not be the ideal venue to experience Frida Hyvönen in concert, but this gig still didn't live up to my very high expectations. I thought the gig was going to be something amazing, I even tried to get a bunch friends to come along, so I found it quite unfortunate that Hyvönen seemed to lack that spark that could have turned the gig into something really good. She's got the material, but for her to be able to give them justice being alone just behind a keyboard, it takes a lot of skill, a skill that was sadly not present in its full capacity last night. The highlights of the night were "I drive my friend", "Once I was a serene teenaged child", "The modern", and a new song that I don't know the name of.
