Enter Shikari – “The Spark Tour 2017” - Special guests: Astroid Boys & Lower Than Atlantis

Why is it that in December each year there is such an agglomeration of concerts with really attractive line-ups? Whatever the reason, the chance to see these three all-British acts sharing a stage last Thursday certainly had the interested clientele jump up and down in anticipation.

“Paul?” – “Yes, Andy?” – “We have a problem! This is a very intelligent audience, and all we have left is Pop and Dance!” Just one example for the jolly banter between Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, founding members and masterminds of ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK. At the moment they are touring their new album, ‘The Punishment of Luxury’, but as it turns out, the pioneers of romantic Synth Pop are also great comedians and, after all, too old buddies who love some plain ole fun. And not even that some of their old heroes were in the audience could stop them!

Tricky - “Ununiform Tour 2017”

The UK mastermind of Trip Hop TRICKY came to the cosy club Luxor in Cologne to promote his new album ‘Ununiform’. Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws, aka TRICKY, is often referred to as the pioneer of Trip Hop, a wildly successful music genre in the 90ies. TRICKy’s early works can best be described as dark, claustrophobic, as well as melancholic. This has brightened up a bit with the release of his last album ‘Ununiform’, where also some lighter moods and some rock elements can be found. You can find out more about the band via www.trickysite.com or https://www.facebook.com/TrickyOfficial.
