The Muts
It’s not often that I meet a band whose name presents a complete contradiction to who and what they really are. THE MUTS are definitely a rare gem, a diamond in the rough, a parody of sorts, and I feel honoured to have met them - another contradiction - as initially I didn’t think they were even going to come close to being my “cup of tea”.

Beatsteaks & Turbostaat
If you are looking for the best German live band, you have to think of the BEATSTEAKS definitely. Already DIE ÄRZTE asked in their song “Unrockbar”: “How can you sit still during the BEATSTEAKS…?” With their combination of Punk Rock and Hardcore elements, the guys from Berlin climbed up the top ten of the German charts and made it being support of the SEX PISTOLS. Their latest album ‘Limbo Messiah’ was released last year already, but the scheduled tour had to be postponed due to health problems of singer Arnim. Now finally the rescheduled tour had started and people could enjoy their fabulous live performance.

miLú
To a new album belongs also belongs a tour. As miLú is anything but ordinary, this couldn’t be a concert like any other. The atmosphere is an important part and it was indeed a very intimate atmosphere in the Zeche Carl, where the first concert of the tour took place. And it should become an unforgettable evening…

Progresja, Warsaw, Poland30th March 2008
Out of Line Festival: Red Emprez, DIN [A] TOD, Cephalgy, UnterArt, Spetsnaz, Hocico
Out of Line Festival took place in several cities in Germany before it finally reached Poland, still its history in the country was rather difficult - the first edition planned in November in Poznan was cancelled in mysterious circumstances (mostly due to the local organizers easiness that made some people go to the venue in vain) so if wasn't earlier than when the agency Infogoth set the new date on 30th March in Progresja that we were sure it will really take place. So far so good.
