E-Werk, Cologne, Germany11th October 2009
Skunk Anansie, Chairlift, The Rakes, Eternal Tango
On 11th October 2009, the time had come and the 23rd Rocknacht was about to begin. Short after 5 PM, the doors of the E-Werk in Cologne opened and the first attendees entered the venue. 4 bands were to perform this evening, headlined by SKUNK ANANSIE who reunited after 8 years and have produced a new album due out in November. Now, I was confronted with a real downer also not meeting with positive reactions from the audience. 3 cameras had been built up in front of the stage and prevented a constantly clear view on the protagonists on stage. It was disturbing and unnerving and as much as I understand the necessity of recording the show, there must be a better solution to do that.

Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, GermanyPeter Murphy, Lettie
When former BAUHAUS vocalist and solo artist PETER MURPHY announced to tour European clubs within the scope of his recent „Secret Cover Tour“ in this year’s autumn, I got excited about and counted down the weeks until the Aschaffenburg concert should take place. On 19th October 2009, that day had finally come and I went to my favourite music club Colos-Saal again. Just in time, I arrived at the front doors and entered the hall which was pretty empty at that moment. A few attendees, most of them obviously thirty-somethings who were dressed in black, spent their time sitting on the bar stools and having some drinks. Since I wanted to take photos, I preferred a standing room in the first row. It was about 8 pm when supporting act LETTIE came on stage.

It was in the early evening on that cold but fortunately not rainy Thursday when we arrived at the Frankfurt cult club Batschkapp to experience the seventh stop of the “Into Darkness Festival Tour”.

Globe, Stockholm, Sweden.11th October 2009
Green Day, Prima Donna
A large crowd was waiting outside of The Globe venue (or Globen as it´s called in Swedish) when the doors opened two hours before the show. Some people had been camping outside and beside the long line some parents were taking care of their children’s coats and belongings before they should enter the arena. There was some chaos when the doors opened but after some tumult we were finally inside. Everyone has high expectations of this concert.
