The Limiñanas

Watching a live performance of the Limiñanas is experiencing the joy, friendship and love among the members of the band that is projected with their music towards their audience. This band knows professionally well how to build up their show to a certain climax that gets the majority of the audience dancing. Each band member has an enigmatic role that makes them whole as a collective. Their music has strong garage influence, but the rawness of this genre is not an suffocating presence in the sound. There is room for melodramatics and loads of fun, the Limiñanas give a constant entertaining experience of good songs..but then again, I have trouble in mind and dont know a thing about music! Just don't miss out on these people, they have all the right ingredients to become big!

First of all the place was great and even better it was like a reminder of "good old times" as it used to be the best hall for rock'n roll in Bordeaux. (re-opened last June)
Then after two support bands (RGB being the most interesting with a great singer and guitar player), the Liminanas.
The stage was beautiful: lights, big umbrellas as photographers use, and the band came on two lines, all musicians being on the same level.
From the moment when they start to play till they stop there is no pause. The energy, the sound, the show are awesome.
It's been a long time since I last saw and heard such a good music and great musicians.
Vocals are perfect too.
I was almost breathless all along the gig.
Ready for any other chance to see The Liminanas again!

I really like the Liminanas, their records are great and I have enjoyed listening to them, so I was looking forward to seeing them live.

But the show was a bit of a dissapointment for me, although everything was in place, full band on stage, loud guitars, good light show, there was something missing....

I can't put my finger on it, but it did not feel very rock n roll to me, despite the wall of sound from the distrorted guitars and whatnot. It was a bit soulless.

Anyway, that's my view, other people might have enjoyed it, dunno...

French garage pop/rock/psych with attitude, volatility and sensuality - all encapsulated by the female lead vocalist, who, I believe, is not part of the original band (which consists of the drummer Marie Liminana and the lead guitarist, Lionel Liminana).
Her whispered lyrics go straight in and it doesn't matter if you understand french or not.

We caught them at an entertaining show @ Oslo Hackney amongst a thirsty crowd and it was a great pick-me-up after a long week

One of the best French band around. Go for it you'll not be disappointed.They sublimate their songs by infusing the right amount of madness you expect from a live gig.
