A PORTU-GAL & THREE GUYS
The Gift has a small present for New York: a free show.
Portugal's brooding, trip-hop-infused foursome will perform at the Belt tonight at 8 o'clock at a party sponsored by the Aprepos fashion line. (For tickets, E-mail toffer@aprepos.com.)
This intimate event is a far cry from the 40,000-seat stadium shows the band often plays overseas.
"To be an artist today, you have to hang around with a lot of concepts," says songwriter Nuno Goncalves, 25. "There's fashion, video, music. But I like the tiny live shows, too. What we have to show is not the big screens and lighting, but instead the power of the songs."
Fusing electronica with elements of classical music, jazz and rock, the band formed more than 10 years ago when its then-adolescent members battled the boredom of living in Alcobaca, a tiny town outside Lisbon best known for its 12th-century monastery.
"There was only cinema on the weekends, no sports to play, nothing to do," says singer Sonia Tavares, 26.
"We wanted to find something to do in our free time, and not spend all day in the coffeehouses," says Goncalves, who rounds out the group with his brother John and Miguel Ribeiro. "At that time, all of the music was grunge. We wanted to make something completely different."
The Gift formed its own record label in 1999 after Portuguese companies wouldn't touch them because they sang in English. Their first album, "Vinyl," went platinum.
"We still have problems with [Portuguese] critics who say this is not our culture, this is not Portuguese music," says Tavares. "But our music is communicating with feelings.
"Happiness and sadness come through, even if you don't know the language."

The Gift :: Concerto Espanha
The Gift en el Sonorama 2008
Los portugueses de The Gift llegan a Burgos. Estarán en Aranda de Duero en el Festival Sonorama 2008. The Gift nos llevarán a una estilizada y atmosférica combinación de rock, electrónica, jazz y arreglos clásicos. Les gusta definirse como un grupo de pop electrónico elegante, pero su afán de investigar, probar sonidos nuevos, jugar con las mezclas y los estilos hace difícil ponerles etiquetas. Festival Sonorama 2008. 15 y 16 de Agosto. Aranda de Duero. Compra tu entrada. Abono dos días 50 €
Vienen de Portugal (nuestro desconocido vecino) y son, quizá, la banda de aquel país con más proyección internacional. Han abierto shows para Flaming Lips o Cousteau, y graban para el prestigioso sello V2 (lugar donde editan sus discos gente como Paul Weller, Prodigy, Rickie Lee Jones o Mercury Rev). Los The Gift lanzaron sus álbumes "Vinyl" (1998), Film (2001) y AM-FM (2004) con su propia editora, La Folie-Gift. Tuvieron un gran éxito en Portugal y por eso se convirtieron en un símbolo del "hágalo usted mismo" en el país. Rebosaron salas de espectáculo, actuaron en los mayores festivales y dividieron el palco con Radiohead, Coldplay, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Air, New Order, The Divine Comedy y Moby. Después del éxito en Portugal cruzaron la frontera para mantener vivo el espíritu del "hágalo usted mismo".
Concierto The Gift
Sabado 16 de Agosto
