Kesselhaus (Kulturbraurei), Berlin, Germany10th March 2010
In Extremo
It's a great thing when a really successful band decides that they won't just work to the winning formula they already have but will stretch the creative envelope to encompass something much more basic, much more creative and ultimately much braver. Considering their near biblical success with the number one album 'Sängerkrieg', one could have been forgiven for assuming that they'd lay back on their laurels basking in their success. Ah, but far from it. Shortly after they produced the acoustic version of the album and then made the decision to take a wholly acoustic tour. This is bravery verging on madness, which is why not a lot of bands undertake something like this. Acoustic is raw, naked and unforgiving, and you really have to be ahead of your game to pull it off, which they did; in abundance.

Sono & Slave Republic
After SONO have published their new album ‘Plus’ in the last year, I wanted to hear how they sound live now and was already very curious for this diverse evening. And so, I went to the Backstage Club on this Wednesday evening for their Munich show, supported by SLAVE REPUBLIC.

Tivoli, Freiberg, Germany13th March 2010
Led Astray, Beautiful Cafillery, Dying Humanity, Maroon
Saturday night, outside it is cold, it's raining, and everybody's looking for heat - posters promised hot music: MAROON had used a longer break for song writing. Now they wanted to present their latest CD ‘Order’ finally live to the public. Together with three other bands, they wanted to review their concept in a Saxon town. The legendary ballroom Tivoli in Freiberg seemed to them suitable and approx. 500 people had come. www.tivoli-freiberg.de

Jennifer Rostock, Beta, Thoughts Paint the Sky
JENNIFER ROSTOCK was coming to Bochum for the “Der Filmriss” tour. When I arrived at the Zeche, already a long queue was waiting to enter the venue. Well, the concert was sold-out and this fact promised a packed venue with pretty good mood. Support acts during this evening were BETA and THOUGHTS PAINT THE SKY.

Rosenhof, Osnabrück, Germany14th March 2010
Livingston, Takida
I want spring to start NOW. It can't be we still have to bear with grey clouds and rain can it? But weather forecasts say it will be getting warmer soon. Well, yesterday it was still cold and rainy when we hit the road to Osnabrück for the show of LIVINGSTON and TAKIDA. What we didn't know at the time; we'd be experiencing a big surprise!
