Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany11th February 2009
Corvus Corax
The “Kings of Minstrels” have announced to honour the Aschaffenburg audience with a visit on 11th February. Thus, I went to the picturesque inner city of Aschaffenburg to witness that musical spectacle. In front of the Colos-Saal, a crowd of people stood there waiting for admission which should start at 7.30 pm. Finally, the doors were opened and we were allowed to enter the venue. I noticed again that the Colos-Saal staff is very friendly and professional. Each and every person was welcomed with a smile; there is an almost family atmosphere that I haven´t experienced at other music clubs up to now. Concerning appearance and age, the audience was a variegated one. Firstly, most people went to the bar to have a drink or they inspected the merchandise stood that offered shirts, posters and all that stuff. I found a standing room in the first row´s right corner and so I had the opportunity to have a look at the stage setting that was really opulent and unusual.

The Arena Company, Concert and Conference, Linköping, Sweden.The 6th of February 2009
Deathstars with pre act The Other Flesh.
This venue in Linköping was a pretty strange one, I have never seen anything quite like it, and the place in the venue where the concert was going to happen was in the middle of the building surrounded by brick walls and glass. When we talked with Andreas and Ole during the interview before the show they were surprised with how the venue looked like too.

Batschkapp, Frankfurt am Main, Germany3rd February 2009
The Rasmus, Fräulein Wunder
After I had arrived at the venue, I noticed the tour bus that was standing in front of the Batschkapp surrounded by some curious girls. Though it was very cold outside, there was a pretty long queue that was obviously dominated by young female fans who had waited for hours to get into the hall. With visible impatience, some girls right in front of the queue started to pound on the doors. Finally, the doors were opened at 8pm and I was virtually pushed into the building.

ColumbiaClub, Berlin, Germany
23rd January 2009
And One, F.O.D
It was a cold, wet winter’s night in Berlin, when AND ONE invited to the Ladies’ Night at the ColumbiaClub. But it wasn’t raining. These were the combined tears of all men, knowing exactly how much fun their girlfriends and wives would have tonight. For the first time in music history, there should be concerts separated by gender. Of course the ladies made the start…

Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen, Germany31st January 2009
Lordi, Silverlane, Fatal Smile
The monsters are back in town. In support of their most recent album ‘Deadache’, the Finnish monster rockers LORDI travel through the countries to put the fear of god into the humans attending their shows. You can read a lot about LORDI and what a show they’re laying down on stage, but those texts can’t prepare you for what’s in store for you when wanting to experience a show yourself…
