The Foreign Resort - “Outnumbered” Tour 2019 - Special guests: Golden Apes

The new year is still young, but the concert highlights don’t let us wait long for them - one of the first highlights on my list that I’ve been looking forward to was the show of THE FOREIGN RESORT and GOLDEN APES on that Thursday evening in January at Hafenklang with the best view to the Hamburg harbour, a packed venue and a lot of good, melancholic vibes.

Linea Aspera & Bestial Mouths

Do you know the disappointment when you discover a band just to find out they split up and there is no chance to see them live? The story about LINEA ASPERA could have ended here but in fact it doesn’t. ‘Reunion’ is not only one of the band’s songs but also what happened. On September 16th, 2019, they published “Hey, we’re back!” on their Facebook page and announced a number of gigs in Europe. Hurray!

Alex Band of The Calling - Tour 2020 - Support: My Silent Bravery, My Own Ghost & Psycho Village

When I saw the announcement of the tour of ALEX BAND, formerly known as lead vocalist of THE CALLING, I immediately got the flowing melody of their hit song ‘Wherever You Will Go’ from 2001 in my ear. The song with the deep and sad background about someone’s passing became a hymn of hope for many at the time when 9/11 happened - a day that no one who was old enough to understand back then, will ever forget. Now, almost 20 years later, it felt quite unreal to see Alex live on stage.

Eluveitie - “Ategnatos” European Tour 2019 - Support: Lacuna Coil

Recently, Helsinki suffered from closing down its semi-large value Nosturi. Many gigs already before its closure were held in a smaller Tavastia, even if the same band used to play and sell our Nosturi before. As a result, this was a packed, sold-out night. Unfortunately, Tavastia does not get too comfy when it is full of people: sound on the back is not really great and to get in front one has to suffer a very dense crowd.
