Postbahnhof, Berlin, Germany19th January 2010
The 69 Eyes & Mandragora Scream
The good news about the concert were the changes in the concert club. The first things we saw in the Postbahnhof were obvious upgrading. Now there was a photo pit before the stage, the lack of which has detained some photographers from visiting the club in the past. The air conditioners seemed to work much better, so the audience in first rows didn't have to breathe the heavy falling fog form the stage. The spotlights were better arranged and one could hope that the sound will be not as horrible as it was before. And indeed, the sound of 69 EYES was loud, but still good and unexpectedly clear. But during the first performance it was unfortunately not as good, as we had expected.

Zeche Carl, Essen, GermanyBig Boy
What really led to the foundation of BIG BOY is as unknown as any other background information, but the story we know is as follows. The man named BIG BOY is said to be born in Sweden, served in the foreign legions for a couple of years before he was discharged (dishonourably). He spent a few weeks in a sanatorium (To visit a friend) until Freddy Mercury manifested and told him to found the greatest Rock’n’Roll band the world has ever seen. Actually we only know a few things for sure.

Archive, BirdPen
ARCHIVE with their ‘Controlling Crowds’ cycle from 2009 have amazed listeners and critics worldwide with its epic dimensions and cunning way of blending different styles together. This also was our first contact with the British collective, but it had such impact on us we decided to take the next chance there was to be part of an ARCHIVE live event - and the one in Bochum surely deserved that name.

Underground, Cologne, Germany14th January 2010
Die Art
German band DIE ART was founded in 1986 and is the follow-up to DIE ZUCHT which had a rather short-lived existence with two years in total. The band quickly caught the attention of a bigger audience and having their song ‘Chrome’ played on the radio might have helped their popularity grow as well. After the German Unification the band has released their debut full-length ‘Fear’ which remains to be the most successful album of DIE ART up until now. After a concert in Leipzig’s Moritzbastei in 2001 the band disbanded and left a back catalogue of nine album, various tapes and singles.
