The Streets - “The darker the shadow the brighter the light, part 2” Tour 2019 - Support: Fatoni

Mike Skinner is back and ‘Fit But You Know It’. This is known at least since the sold-out concert in Berlin’s Heimathafen club last April. It was followed by all enthusiastically acclaimed reunion shows in the UK, France and the Netherlands, where THE STREETS presented numerous songs from their now legendary back catalog for first time since 2011 live on stage, such as ‘A Grand Do not Come For Free’, ‘Everything Is Borrowed’, ‘The Hardest Way To Make Presented to Easy Living’ or ‘Original Pirate’. In recent months, Mike Skinner not only released five new songs, but is currently working on a new album, which is also the soundtrack to his new film project. Something’s going on at THE STREETS and that’s why Mike Skinner is finally putting the band back on the road in February 2019. The “The darker the shadow the brighter the light, part 2” tour was also including a show in Cologne… and the demand was high so that the concert was sold-out long ago!

Our guest today presents two bands: the Post-Hardcore band VENUES and the Rock band BOUNCING BETTY. VENUES released their record ‘Aspire’ on the 27 June 2018, and they are a very rare example of good Hardcore with female voice. But let’s get back to our topic: Kira is one of the exceptional cases where, as soon as I saw his tattoos, I knew exactly what I need in our project! We need to pay attention to this art. I hope you agree with us...

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time to decide to get it done?
Kira: Tattoos were something special for me since I was a child. In my youth I always wanted to have some cool skulls with bones on my skin. At the age of 15, a friend came up to me and said he had a tattoo machine. A joke to make a smiley face on the back of the earlobe became a reality. A short time later, we sat in his room and he tattooed a smiley behind my earlobe. My first tattoo from a tattoo artist was then classic at 18 years. I had the spontaneous idea to imprint my childhood memories on right leg. The first thing that came to mind was a Toad from Super Mario in an 8-bit style.

Feuerengel - [A Tribute To Rammstein] - Tour 2019

Though there are still a few weeks to go until the spring is coming back, the sun surprisingly visited us this weekend in the middle of February and gifted us with +15°C. But not only the sun is heating up this Saturday: FEUERENGEL come back to the sinful Reeperbahn to bring the heat back. Let the (pyro) games begin!

Ghost - “A Pale Tour Named Death” Europe 2019 - Special Guest: Candlemass

It could already be the first day of spring when we made our way through the sunshine to the RuhrCongress Bochum. Rain and darkness would have been more suitable for the black mass to which we were riding, but we tried very hard to let everything merry out until the beginning of the concert. The long line leads to a full hall and a great atmosphere. The conditions for a good evening have been created.

Amorphis & Soilwork, Jinjer, Nailed to Obscurity

Great things were announced for yesterday night in the Garage, namely the double headliner tour of AMORPHIS and SOILWORK. The two Nordic Metal veterans were accompanied by the Ukrainians JINJER and the Germans NAILED TO OBSCURITY. An extremely big package, no wonder that many preferred this concert to a romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day.
