Actually, Matthew Healy, singer, lyricist and rhythm guitarist of the British band The 1975, the classic anti- Popstar. Almost inconspicuous acts of the 27-year-old in his camouflage sweater, as he takes the conversation with journalists.
The face he hides behind his dark curls, he reflects on himself. “I consider myself a very strange person who makes other strange people music”, analyzes the son of a British acting family.
In the evening seems to be the frontman then a different person when he was in with his supporters amid cheers the stage Hamburg enters. In light blue pleated pants dancing and he staggers behind the mic, sweeps repeatedly the hair from her face and swings hands on for grand gestures. Given the new song “Love Me”, which reminds with its funky guitars on “Fame” by David Bowie as he in the song the Selfie sounds.
4000 mostly very young people hanging out the front man on the lips, -Culture and the negative side of fame denounces. Because fame currently have the four young men from Manchester plenty. DC in six countries they ended up with their second album on the pole position of the charts – including Britain, Australia and the United States
In Germany they managed at No. 28, you will soon be seen in Berlin and Munich, as well as the beginning of June at rock am ring and rock im Park. The 1975 could also have won an amusing record of its own: “I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” is the album with the longest title ever topped the US Billboard Top 200 .
the success of the British is surprising. After all, unlike their compatriots from One Direction they do not adapt to the mainstream sound. Their new album flirts with so many genres and styles that you can classify their music difficult. From Synthiepop about indie rock to jazz and more. “We are not purists and know no genre boundaries,” says Healy. Live, however, affect their songs more of a piece than on disk.
Eighties synth sounds of two keyboardists ensure the thread. They are supported in their performance of a saxophonist, who provide a minute long solo in the song “Me”. This then would be the older generation, which mingle with the young crowd. Because has the music of The 1975 also something wonderfully nostalgic.
On the stage the four monstrous Monitor columns glisten in poppigsten colors. Yet The 1975 are not as harmless as it suggests the concert. In the lyrics Healy goes mercilessly open with his drug addiction, depression, and his sex life to what does not make the youngsters in prudish America must be favorite sons-. “People accuse me that I romanticize drugs – but this is ridiculous,” says Healy, openly acknowledge for cocaine consumption. “I am not proud, I dealt with it, because it means catharsis for me.”
Healy is 27, in this context, a quite controversial age when one thinks of the Club 27 dead rock legends: “I do not plan to die young. I want to William S. Burroughs is not Kurt Cobain or Jim Morrison, “he says firmly. When Jim Morrison open flutter shirt and black leather pants he staged but then still in the decorated with church chorales ballad “If I Believe You”. With arms outstretched in front of the white canvas, it looks like a messiah for the kids in the front rows, the sing each line
But The 1975 can also write large Popohrwürmer. Anthem detention they adopt in the encore with the Singles “Chocolate” and “The sound”. The amount jumps – and The 1975 have impressively recommended as a rock the size of the future
