Seeing The Notwist perform live on stage was a truly great experience. This band sings very comfortable, calm, and serene music that the audience really enjoyed. They create an atmosphere of peace and homeliness that is hard to convey; they are not very loud, and as a result, neither is the audience.
The atmosphere was smokey, like a fog, and made scarce use of very dim lighting. The venue was small and the people were packed in tight as a result, but that created a level of intimacy which was nice. There wasn't too much fan interaction, as this band is very focused and invested into their music and the playing of their instruments.
They sing very cerebral songs and that is reflected on their on-stage performance. The audience was respectful and quiet, but we enjoyed what we heard. For me, it was a largely pleasant experience that made me reflect upon the topics of their music, listen to the lyrics, and contemplate my own life in light of them. Perhaps it was the same for the others in the audience. Most people just stood there and soaked in the music, tapping their feet and humming.
It's a concert for people who don't necessarily need loud music and crowds to enjoy themselves and enjoy music.
