The Warning 2024-04-05 LAV - Lisboa ao Vivo - Sala 1, Lisbon

Fri, April 5, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ LAV - Lisboa Ao vivo - Sala 1

The tour of The Warning is: "Europe Tour 2024".
It was my 1th The Warning show.

I arrived at LAV at 01:55 pm. It was a windy hot sunny afternoon. General doors opened at 20:00 and show was scheduled to start at 21:00.
I had the VIP Meet & Greet ticket so I had some different times.

A little after 6pm when we entered they put us in line for the meet & greet with the band. I bought the CD "Error" and then at the meet & greet the 3 sisters signed the CD for me. I told them that I started to listen to their music when I found out their cover videos when they were younger around 2020/2021. They cover the big bands like Metallica, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and others. And then I went to investigate their YouTube channel where I discovered all the videos, including rehearsals and live performances. And they thank me, they were happy. I also told them I would love to see them again in the future in a big arena in my city. Daniela also thank me and said that would be awesome.

After the meet & greet I went to buy on the merchandise store an offical tshirt by The Warning. And after that I got out again and queue again outside the venue. I was front on the queue again. We got inside around 19:50 before the general people (20:00). I entered and went directly to the middle of the first row. I wanted to be in the middle to see Paulina (the drummer) in front. Daniela was playing guitar on my right and Alejandra playing bass on my left.

Before "The Warning" in LAV, played Conquer Divide, they started at 20:59 and played 30 minutes. Played a set of 7 songs.

Members:
Current:
Kiarely "Kia" Castillo – clean vocals (2013–2018, 2020–present)
Kristen Sturgis - Rhythm guitar (2013-present)
Isabel "Izzy" Johnson – lead guitar (2014–2018, 2020–present)
Samantha "Sam" Landa – drums (2020–present)

Madison Moon – unclean vocals (March 2024–present)

I only knew about them on April 1st (4 days before the show) when I received my "The Warning" email with the VIP instructions (schedule of the concert day). And the name "Divide Conquer" is there opening for The Warning.
I went looking for their youtube channel to see any videos they might have released. Just to get a feeling of their sound.
I enjoyed seeing them live. Always happy and very lively. Trying to talk to the public.

Info of the band from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquer_Divide

The band was formed in Michigan by guitarist and songwriter Kristen Sturgis along with Suzie Reagan. The lineup initially began as a five-piece with the addition of bassist Sarah Stonebraker, drummer Tamara Tadic, and singer Kiarely Castillo in 2013. On March 1, 2014, Conquer Divide announced that they had recruited Liverpool-based YouTube guitarist Izzy Johnson to become a member, making it a six-piece. A short time later, Suzie was let go and replaced by Texas-based vocalist Janel Duarte. Although their official biography featured on the Artery Recordings website states that they were formed in 2013, the concept for the band had existed since about 2005, according to their producer Joey Sturgis.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:


01. Atonement
02. Chemicals
03. Eyes Wide Shut
04. Paralyzed
05. system_failure
06. NEWHEAVEN

Finally was time for The Warning. They started at 22:00 and played 65 minutes. Played a set of 15 songs.

It was spectacular. I loved the concert. They were always very excited. Daniela said some things in Portuguese, she once said that how was it possible that they had only just come to Portugal for the first time. Daniela spoke in spanish a lot of the times between songs. But we portuguese understand them well.
Daniela is always excited about the Portuguese public. I liked the faces that Daniela made from time to time in amazement at us.
Paulina is also always happy with us and amazed by our reactions to the songs.
I loved to see Paulina sing "Narcisista". She is amazing playing drums and singing at the same time. I love Paulina's determination on the drums.
Alejandra always very cool, in her style. But moving really well with the bass.

The band members are:

Daniela "Dany" Villarreal Vélez, 24 (born January 30, 2000) – guitars, lead and backing vocals, piano (2013–present)
Paulina "Pau" Villarreal Vélez, 22 (born February 5, 2002) – drums, backing and lead vocals, piano (2013–present)

At the end of the concert when I was leaving the venue I found out Sam (the drummer of Conquer Divide) on the audience and I talked to her a little. Very friendly and nice.
I went again to The Warning merchandising place and bought the LP "Error" signed by the 3 sisters before the show.
And notice that the band Conquer divide was also in a merchandising spot selling some stuff. I went there and bought their last CD "Slow Burn" and all the 5 members signed it. Was very cool. I talked a little with Kia (the main vocalist of Conquer Divide) and told her I like to see them and that I only knew them for about 4 days. But went to look for their youtube channel and saw their videos. She was happy and gave me the signed CD.
