Tremendous review, Pat.
Regarding your conclusions, to me, the key is, will the heat translate in live performances? In a sense, 5 Etwal was wasted, because the band did not capitalize on the quality of the album in their bals. I hope things go better this time around. |

BEN and other members
Is there ANYTHING that you guys think ZENGLEN can do in order to TRANSFER THIS HEAT ON THE CD to their LIVE performances, which will result in PEOPLE COMING OUT TO SEE THEM?
ZENGLEN in ONE way is like KDANS. THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD CD.
What's holding them back?

The problem with 5-Etwals live was the lack of connectivity with the crowd and the two singers.
Frero and Reginald are very good singers but the fans never really accepted them as Zenglen's frontmen. Another possible factor was the Gracia Delva effect. After all, Gracia had just encountered his legal issues with the US Immigration.
Kenny on the other hand has been performing live with the band well over a year before their first studio production the Kennyway was released. Kenny had well over a year to work the crowd and he did just that. _________________ Bat Chyen An Tan'n Met Li

Yeah, Gracia. Live-wise, Zenglen has yet to recover from that loss.
Now, to get people to go to their bals, Zenglen needs to do two things:
1. Start playing well in bals. Sounds obvious, right? I heard a live Zenglen track from last summer, from a compilation CD, and it was simply awful. Zenglen needs to play better live.
2. Once they start playing well, make a live CD and make sure you have as many people as possible hear it. Put a Mad Dog logo on it if you have to. Give it away. Just make sure people hear what you got on stage. The people will come, believe me.
The studio release date is perfect. If Zenglen can put out some live material by July 4th, they'll have the summer on lockdown. |
