Animotion

You are an obsession, I cannot sleep, I am your possession, Unopened at your feet’…Obsession, arguably one of Animotion’s most well known songs was the track that they chose to open the show with, so as you would expect they blew the audience away right away. The band were dressed in full 80s gear, transporting the band right back to their most successful days, and Astrid taking the front spot of centre stage.
There was a lot of lying on the floor, really ricking out with crazy dance moves and guitar solos which really felt like nothing had changed since Animotion’s first performances all those years ago. Although the line up has changed a lot over the years, the current band are strong and tight, and performed every show like they were the only ones who had ever been in the band. Their new wave synthpop is a popular genre today, so their music has remained relevant and enables them to sell out venues even today.
Their energy was great and the vocals were still strong and tight. It was a fantastic experience, and great to hear all the hits. It would be awesome if they did some more writing together and made some new tracks!
