La australiana Crystal Thomas se presentó en Madrid por cortesía de Raruno
Producciones. Una apuesta valiente, tanto la del promotor –Thomas se está
haciendo un nombre ahora– como la de la músico, que se presentó en formato
acústico acompañada de la guitarrista Edith Crash dispuesta a conquistar a
una audiencia poco numerosa pero fiel al culto de la música de calidad.
Abrió la noche la barcelonesa Mae Kurtz, que defendió sus canciones
también en acústico y supuso un buen aperitivo para la cabeza de cartel.
De todos modos, estaría bien que Kurtz se dejara caer por la capital con
banda completa en un espectáculo propio. Estaremos esperando.
La propuesta de Crystal Thomas bebe de la de referentes del mejor rock de
autor –Nick Cave, PJ Harvey– pero con una personalidad auténtica y real.
Desgranó las canciones de su debut y adelantó su futuro segundo álbum
mientras ingería whisky sin parar y amenizaba los espacios entre canciones
con los más divertidos monólogos. La potente voz de Thomas no es su única
baza, destila fortaleza y fragilidad a partes iguales, engancha al
espectador con su naturalidad y simpatía mientras impone respeto desde el
escenario. Por otro lado, el respaldo de la salvaje Edith Crash fue
decisivo durante todo el concierto, con gran técnica, sentimiento y muy
buena imagen. Sin duda, el complemento perfecto para una carismática
Crystal Thomas que se entrega con devoción a su propia música,
respetándose a sí misma y ganándose así el respeto del público.

The Australian Crystal Thomas
was presented in Madrid courtesy of Raruno Productions. A brave bet, both
the promoter-Thomas is making a name now, like the musician, which was
presented in an acoustic guitar accompanied by Edith Crash ready to
conquer a numerically small but loyal audience to worship music quality.
The night opened the Barcelona Mae Kurtz, who defended his songs
acoustically and also was a good appetizer for the headliners. Anyway,
would be nice if Kurtz is dropped by the capital with full band in a show
of their own. We will be waiting.
Crystal Thomas The proposal draws from the reference of the best
rock-author Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, but with a real personality and real.
Beat out songs from his debut and announced his future second album while
steadily drank whiskey and entertaining the spaces between songs with the
funniest monologues. The powerful voice of Thomas is not his only asset,
exudes strength and fragility in equal parts, engages the viewer with its
naturalness and sympathy as commands respect from the stage. Furthermore,
the support of the Wild Crash Edith was during the whole concert, with
great technique, very good feeling and image. Without doubt, the perfect
complement to a charismatic Crystal Thomas delivered with devotion to his
own music, respecting itself and thus earning the respect of the public.
