Ecca Vandal - “Looking for People to unfollow Tour 2026” - Special Guest: Freddy Forbidden
An early autumn evening with temperatures over 30 degrees is made to be spent in crammed spaces like the Luxor (/ironyoff). However, the chance to see one of the breakthrough artists of the year in an intimate setting like this was totally worth it.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany 6th September 2026
The Black Keys - “Peaches ‘n Kream Tour 2026” - Special guest: Robert Finley
There is an unspeakable magic that happens when industrial architecture meets raw, sweat-soaked Blues Rock. Last night at the Palladium in Cologne, a capacity crowd witnessed a masterclass in American roots music - a double bill that bridged the swampy deltas of Louisiana with the gritty garage-rock spirit of Akron, Ohio. With THE BLACK KEYS, who are internationally celebrated icons of Blues and Garage Rock, headlining the bill, around 3,500 fans in Cologne were in for a treat.

When BRITTO KC appeared in front of my camera again, the face was anything but unfamiliar. I had first photographed Britto Khangchian roughly a decade earlier, during the early days of Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Café, including the band’s debut album and several live shows.Back then, I also remember the idea of doing something of his own coming up in conversation. I would not pretend to remember the details of conversations from ten years ago, nor was today’s project necessarily mapped out at the time. But the thought was there.
Special: Artists and their Tattoos - Oliver Satyr (Vocals) from Faun

- Parent Category: Specials
During FAUN’s concert at the beautiful Rittergut Positz, I had the chance to meet Oliver and capture a few wonderful portraits of him somewhere between warm rays of sunlight and the leaves of the surrounding trees. The setting felt almost made for those images - natural, atmospheric and perfectly in tune with the world of FAUN.We also talked about his striking tattoos and the stories behind them. What starts with the visual side of the ink quickly opens into something much more personal: memories, symbols, different chapters of life, and the meanings we choose to carry with us - sometimes openly, sometimes only for ourselves.
