Matrix, Bochum, Germany5th December 2016
The Answer & The Dead Daisies
It is time for another hard rock night, this time at the Matrix in Bochum. The club is well known for parties and concerts and it is a venue with a great atmosphere if the gig takes place in the tube - as it is the case tonight. It is freezing outside, the temperature below zero, but in the tunnel, it is already getting hot as people are waiting for THE ANSWER and THE DEAD DAISIES, two bands who have joined on a co-headline tour. Brick walls, dim lights, and a small stage greet me. The club is packed with people. Tonight’s first band are THE DEAD DAISIES. I cannot wait to see them.

Die Kantine, Cologne, Germany3rd December 2016
Killing Joke & special guest: Death Valley High
KILLING JOKE are back and as active as if they had never been away, as if there were no breaks in the career of these legendary British post-punks. Still as thrillingly doomy and apocalyptic as ever, the JOKE returned to the fray with original members Youth, Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker and Paul Ferguson. Incorporating a few more technological innovations, but basically the same band that made ‘Wardance’ and ‘Love Like Blood’. On a misty night in Cologne, this legendary band rocked Die Kantine with a revisit of their awe-inspiring back catalogue and played some newies. Glamorous American quartet, DEAD VALLEY HIGH opened the evening as guest band.

Knust, Hamburg, Germany29th November 2016
Poets of the Fall & Flight Brigade
Another cold, dark evening when I went to the next concert on my list, POETS OF THE FALL in Knust, Hamburg. It would be my first concert with POETS OF THE FALL and I was excited for what I should expect. I listened through their albums, especially ‘Clearview’, and read some reviews of the new album which said that there's nothing really adventurous, new things. I wanted to experience it for myself. My first challenge was to get rid of my backpack because many other people had the same idea. FLIGHT BRIGADE began to play when I still was in line and waited for service. Then I tried to enter the crowd and realized that the concert surely was sold out. Although it was very full I caught a good place to view.

Bastille & Rationale
BASTILLE toured in support of their new album ‘Wild World’ and played four shows in Germany. The last of them and also the final show of their tour took place in Düsseldorf and was completely sold out. Screaming girls in the front rows and devoted fans celebrated their memorable hooks loudly. As support, BASTILLE brought RATIONALE with them.
