Selig - Magma Tour 2013
Hamburg based Rock band SELIG was founded in 1992. In the 20th year of its existence, they now delivered with ‘Magma’ an album being lyrically very clever and ironic at the same time - it is a modern, fresh and vital album, meeting the perfectly the spirit of the times and at the same time it is an angry but also introspective monster. Somehow, we are in the period of “post-reunion” in the SELIG history. Now, the German rockers are presenting the new album to the public. SELIG is Jan Plewka (vocals), Christian Neander (guitar), Leo Schmidthals (bass), Stephan –“Stoppel” Eggert (drums) and Malte Neumann (keyboards). http://www.selig.eu / https://www.facebook.com/seligmusik

Paaspop, Schijndel, The Netherlands
29th to 31st March 2013
Paaspop Day 2: Gojira, Epica, Testament, Solstafir
The second day of Paaspop had a lot to offer for lovers of rock and metal with bands like GOJIRA, EPICA and TESTAMENT. But the overall program has something for everyone from dance, to hip-hop, folk, indie and loads of Dutch bands. Furthermore, the festival area has numerous little corners and tents to explore with all kinds of activities from art, tattoos, haircuts, but also little markets, mobile DJ’s, tiny techno disco’s, little handicraft workshops and even a bowling area and much more. Today also had the Dutch championship stagediving on program, definitely something I had to go and check out. Fortunately, the crowd did not really seem bothered much by the cold, well dressed with hats and gloves. Still, I was quite happy driving home in the evening and not having to spend the night camping – respect for those who did!

Paaspop, Schijndel, The Netherlands
29th to 31st March 2013
Paaspop Day 1: Skunk Anansie
Paaspop in Schijndel is the usual kick off for the festival season in the Netherlands. And, usually, we’re able to have a cold beer in the hot spring sun around this time of year, but not in 2013. Armed with thermo wear, gloves and a big woollen hat, I drove over to Schijndel for what could easily become the coldest Paaspop festival thus far. Fortunately, there are some great bands in this year’s line-up to warm us up!

After releasing their latest album ‘Ewig’ already in 2012, the final part of the trilogy was such a success that the band decided to do an extension of the tour. Therefore, LETZTE INSTANZ added another 14 shows to the tour in order to further promote their album and please their fans. Potsdam was also part of their stops and so, fans made their ways to the Lindenpark in order to enjoy the music. This time, the band brought along LOST AREA as an support that heated the hall when entering the stage at around 9 pm.
