Gleis22, Münster, Germany29th April 2007
Chumbawamba, Bettina Schelker
CHUMBAWAMBA are THE British Agit-Pop band par excellence. During their 25th jubilee tour, they also showed up at the Gleis22 in Münster. Anyone knows their danceable Indie hits ‘Timebomb’ or ‘Tubthumping’, but nearly no one knows their calmer side. Totally acoustic they presented their own songs as well as English Traditionals and Rebel songs. Support was the Swiss song writer Bettina Schelker.

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany04th May 2007
Client - "Lights go out"-Tour, Nemo
The probably most seductive girl trio of Electro Pop was inviting you to a journey to the dark site of the city – to the place of unfulfilled dreams and anonymity, for forbidden lusts and sex. Visually very clever between fashion and fetish the three ladies of CLIENT play a very alluring game between distance and coolness – presented with breezy winking – also musically. Irresistible hook lines on a minimalist electro basement are combined with New Wave and Brit Pop. Additionally, you get a pinch of Glam Pop and some strokes of Northern Soul. CLIENT present a futuristic Pop epos with their new album ‘Heartland’ – comparably cool as emotional, glamorous and sexy. Feelings and longings of the audience can come to tailspin. On that Friday night in May, I had the pleasure to see those ladies again at the small club at the Kulturfabrik Krefeld where the evening was opened by the British band NEMO.

De Bosuil,Weert, The Netherlands22 April 2007
Kotipelto, Chris Caffery, Elis, Triosphere
Sometimes moments make you realize that life isn’t that predictable. Respectful, famous artists are not the guarantee that a package will sell out. In the case of Kotipelto there was a promoter who ‘forgot’ to do his job well. Unexpected Weert was the last day of the tour, so the bands were sad, but on the other hand is was the most relaxing gig you can imagine: it wasn’t crowded so there was all the time to make jokes and slow down a bit. The beautiful location in the woods and the sun helped with that.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany13th April 2007
Scissor Sisters, Snax
Latest since their performance in the German game show "Wetten dass?" they are well known for a million-public and the hit single ‘I don’t feel like dancin’’, the song that brought them straight to No.1 of the charts. Even STING said: “If Elton John would write songs like the SCISSOR SISTERS, then he could also be found at the top of the charts worldwide again”. The SCISSOR SISTERS started with innumerable gigs in gay-clubs in New York before they became more and more famous and received also three Brit-Awards in 2006. Also the songs of their 2nd album ‘Ta-Dah’ let you beg for more. So in the Palladium we expected an evening with many colorful people and a band who should bring the disco feeling back into our lives.
