In the early 90s, Covenant, a Swedish born band consisting of Eskil Simonsson, Joakim Montellius and touring members Andreas Catjar and Daniel Jonasson, hit the electronic pop world. Their live shows are quite an experience.
The show starts with an elaborate stage set up with all the instruments sitting on the stage surrounding the mixing table, complete with Eskil already manning the table. He single handedly starts the show, which includes massive amounts of flashing lights, smoke and the actual track. This does the proper job of getting the crowd excited and participating with excitement. As the pace picks up, Joakim, Andreas and Daniel walk on to the stage, pick up their instruments and join in, driving the audience absolutely mental. All of the production, like the flashing colored lights and the constant smoke screen, that goes into the show transports you back to the top of the 80s synth pop heyday.
As you stand there and watch the band, you are completely overwhelmed with the urge to dance. And then you realize that everyone else already is, so you join in and have a lot of fun making a complete fool of yourself. By the time the show is over, you don’t want to leave because you want to continue listening to the awesomeness that is Covenant.
