Matthew and Matt in Barcelona

Yesterday, Jordi and I were at the Bikini in Barcelona, where Matthew Sweet and Matt Sharp offered the last gig of their Spanish tour.
The first act was Matt Sharp assisted by Goldenboy. Sharp is an interesting character. He played bass in Weezer and then created his own band The Rentals. His second album as The Rentals (Seven More Minutes) was written in Barcelona and features a song with the name of the city. You could tell that the fact of playing in Barcelona was something special for Sharp, who even attempted to refresh his Spanish while he tried to communicate with the audience.
Matthew Sweet was the main act. I think it was the first time he played in Barcelona, and the fans were quite numerous. Apparently he was a bit sick, and after playing precisely his hit Sick of Myself, he left us with his band Velvet Crush for a couple of numbers. Then he came back to the stage and completed his show very professionally.
For more information about him, I found this fan site, Anita's Matthew Sweet Site, which is better updated than the official site.
