Muffathalle, Munich, Germany26th April 2009
Subway to Sally, Mono Inc.
On the 27th of March 2009, the tenth studio album - ‘Kreuzfeuer’ - of SUBWAY TO SALLY, a Middle Ages rock band from Potsdam and surroundings, appeared. Suitably to the album they started with their “Kreuzfeuer Tour” on 16th April 2009 in Bielefeld. During the whole tour they are accompanied by MONI INC. In the Muffathalle in Munich we could experience them on the 26th April 2009.
MONO INC. is a Hamburg based Alternative Rock band founded in 2000. Their latest album appeared in May 2008 and is called ‘Pain, Love & Poetry’. Except as support of SUBWAY TO SALLY you can see them this year also as support of ASP in autumn. http://www.mono-inc.com/
Music & Performance
Just in time, Martin Engler (voice), Carl Fornia (guitar, voice), Manuel Antoni (voice, bass) and Katha Mia (drums) appeared on stage and began to rock the very well filled Muffathalle. Martin Engler knew wonderfully how to win the audience and how to connect with the people in his show. He was a right whirlwind on stage and even the photo ditch was used for letting off steam. Heiko of the fan club was carried with camera on the stage to take pictures of the audience - it was a great show of MONO INC. during that evening with new and older songs! They were also rewarded for their gig with suitable applause.

Subway to Sally
The band SUBWAY TO SALLY, founded in 1992, distinguishes itself by hard rock- and metal music which has become quite something special by means of medieval melodies and instruments long ago. Nevertheless, on their new album the traditional instruments move further into the background. http://www.subwaytosally.com/
Music & Performance
After an adequate rebuilding break the stage belonged to SUBWAY TO SALLY, consisting of Eric Fish (voice, market bag whistle, Tin Whistle, Bagpipes, Great Highland), Michael Boden "Bodenski" (voice, hurdy-gurdy, acoustic guitar), Simon Levko "Simon" (voice, acoustic guitar, e-Trumscheit), Ingo Hampf (electric guitar, sounds, mandolin), Silke Volland "Mrs. Schmitt" (violin, viola), Silvio Runge "Sugar Ray" (bass) and Simon Michael Schmitt (drums, percussion). Their appearance was accompanied at times by an impressive fire show. The gathered audience enjoyed the concert which almost sounded like a rock concert without exception. Unfortunately, ballads were goods in short supply in this evening. But STS played extremely long and the spectators could simply not get enough!
But sometime everything is over... The evening had succeeded completely - perfect stage shows of support and main act and an extremely contented audience in a good mood.
