Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany10th February 2010
Hypocrisy & Survivors Zero
On a cold winter’s evening, only few people dared to wait in front of the Colos-Saal too early before the doors would open. It was not until half past seven, roughly forty minutes after the doors opened, that the venue started to get more crowded. Places in the front row could comfortably be secured as well as T-Shirts or drinks picked up before the first band started. In the meanwhile, the Colos-Saal “entertained” the audience with their advertisement for future gigs, unfortunately many of them somehow not fitting the general taste in music. Nevertheless, punctually at eight o’ clock SURVIVORS ZERO entered the stage.

Backstage Werk, Munich, Germany30th January 2010
Peter Heppner & Band, Melotron
In this snow-covered and ice-cold Saturday evening I came along on the way to Munich to be experience Peter Heppner in the Backstage finally after his concert last year in Munich was cancelled. Hence, I was glad all the more.

Zeche, Bochum, Germany7th February 2010
The 69 Eyes, Mandragora Scream
That Sunday was a bleak one. Something irreversible, happening earlier that day reminded me of how fleeting life is and kept my thoughts adrift. So a distraction was more than welcome and this one came in the form of THE 69 EYES and MANDRAGORA SCREAM who turned out being good means to do the job.

Pulp, Duisburg, Germany4th February 2010
Peter Heppner & Band, Melotron
Finally, no snow on the streets anymore! Still the possibilities to get to Duisburg were limited to trains if you weren’t in the lucky position of having someone to drive you, or even drive yourself. So I arrived quite early at the venue and a big part of the remaining time was spend with waiting, luckily not alone for the entire time. Our waiting was worth the while, that’s what I can say at this point already.

Globen, Stockholm, Sweden.31st January 2010
Depeche Mode & Nitzer Ebb
Swedish winter can be a bit overwhelming but it was quite some time since we got this much snow and this cold weather with temperatures -15 to -20 degrees. In this case I believe the temperature landed around -15 and then there is a limit of how long you can manage to stand and wait outside of a venue no matter what band is playing.
