There comes a time in any music festival when you need a break from all the good music. Sometimes you time that break on the basis of the program, choosing to skip a particular concert, and sometimes, it just falls on you that you need the break no matter what. Unfortunately for Lavach', this break time feel for me at the beginning of their set.
I love music influences by Eastern European tradition, and so I should have been the perfect customer for Lavach's brand of Armenian Folk meets rock. The line-up was interesting, with a violin, trombone (doubling on electric guitar on some numbers), drums, harmonica and a surprising (and effective) female singer/accordion player.
So I can't quite explain why it didn't work for me. There was nothing that I found objectively wrong with Lavach's music. I felt that the first few numbers were a little lacking in energy, so used am I to listening to the dynamitic AKB, and from then on I was lost. I ended listening with a distant ear while sipping bears and chatting with various festival goers.
Still, I decided to shoot a video so that you can make your own mind:
