REVERY 年輕得碰著誰
未開始搖滾，第一行已企滿Fans輪流合照；再望向台上樂手——後生，靚仔，時髦，似乎係一隊偶像向嘅樂隊喎！REVERY四子介乎於青澀與成熟之間，歌曲同台風都有著濃濃男孩空想嘅味道，感受到佢哋正落力演繹心目中嚮往嘅樂手形象，處於摸索階段又不失活力。
主唱Louis感冒在身，把聲應該比平時更沉，唱得更吃力，但仍然完成到Vocal本份；從佢拎咪姿勢同高音位嘅處理，睇得出基本功紮實嘅！至於互動性方面，年青活力係加分，有感染力但整體略為fans向，如果可以兼及到第一次睇佢哋表演嘅觀眾會更好，咁我哋聽首本團曲＜空想の歌＞先會更入魂嘛！
REVERY有兩首歌feature咗Giraffe eat fish結他手Karthis，5個男仔喺台夾得盡興，台下亦感受到佢哋pure嘅開心，尤其上round Revery結他手Him又去咗Giraffe eat fish客串，化學反應唔錯，結他對碰肩撞肩夠激情，I人E人特質都有所發揮。Bass手King rap到兩嘴，節奏感唔錯，亦都識得捉時機同fans互動；而鼓手Enoch喺<靈魂奇遇記>上嘅drummer face有feel，感覺佢係團中成熟擔當(?)。
睇返＜空想の歌＞MV，REVERY Bonding厚，夠團魂，呢點係佢哋表演以外嘅互動都感受到，但表演中就有啲「各做各」(或者係因為夠默契)；主觀覺得細台更要玩盡啲，Vocal多啲走嚟走去，表演與否都可以去搞下隊友，激發更多火花，最重要係——唔好咁快有偶包！比起經營形象，呈現pure情感會一齊行得更遠，盡情釋放心中嗰位Boy，年輕得碰著誰亦能像威化般乾脆，REVERY係有成為top tier主流樂隊嘅本錢！

Live review from 19th Anniversary Party:
1. Mario
2. LOL
3. 魔物獵人
4. 蜉蝣人
5. 唇舌
6. 門前雪
Following a very energetic and vibrant show by the festive Le Electrogene Fanfare Club, Revery introduces themselves on stage clad in The Underground 19th Anniversary t-shirts, the lead singer announcing that it’s the first time in four months since they played together on the stage. Given some encouragement with the crowd, the band launched into their first song “Mario”, A song with smooth vibes that got the crowd chilling along to confident and strong sounding vocals, and a star studded, reverb drenched guitar solo. Revery got the crowd grooving along to the song, with dancing breaking out as the song goes into full swing.
For the next song “LOL” introduced by some funky guitar work, the crowd was very into the relaxing atmosphere the song provided. Continuing on from the gaming theme they have going on their next song “魔物獵人”, written around their experiences playing Monster Hunter together, also had a very nice and chill laid back vibe, with a few fans at the front getting very into it and grooving along to the soulful and jazzy melody. The next song “蜉蝣人” featured a complex guitar intro and groovy bass lines. With the lead singer putting in some crowd work during the bridge, there were many hollers from the crowd, moving with the beat and getting stuck into the groove.
After an energetic boogie, Revery stuck in an impromptu song “花時間”, a chill song giving the crowd a breather from the dancing, not before building up the energy towards the end of the song and working the crowd, getting them dancing again. Their last song “門前雪” was very fitting for the end of their set, a noticeably much heavier song that reminded me a bit of HK Post Hardcore band Instinct of Sight, littered with gang vocals and chants. You could tell a lot of crowd members were looking forward to this song, many raising metal horns and moshing along, and a few fans at the front singing their hearts out.
Revery delivered a very well-rehearsed and tight set, the experience of each of the musicians could be seen throughout the show, with the guitarist putting out complex and well thought out licks, the lead singer pouring his heart out, the bassist’s groovy lines carrying the songs like a smooth sailing ship, and the drummer doing amazing work bringing the energy of the song up and down.
