Feuerengel – A Tribute to Rammstein: Set 1 – 1995 – 1997 – 2001
FEUERENGEL is a true RAMMSTEIN cover band. During a RAMMSTEIN show in 1997, they had the idea to cover this band as original as possible. So, they became the first ever RAMMSTEIN tribute band. Not only covering the songs was important, also covering the show using authentic effects and requisites. For their shows, they use an own pyro-technician. Knowing all this one thing was sure: this must turn out as a cool show! On 14th October, the band presented their set 1 with RAMMSTEIN albums from 1995 to 2001. Following albums were presented during a show one day later. FEUERENGEL is Boris (vocals), +hors+en (keyboards), Farp (guitar), Daniel (guitar), Holger (bass) and X-oph (drums). http://www.feuerengel.de/ / http://www.myspace.com/feuerengelmusic / https://www.facebook.com/feuerengelmusic

Fiddler’s Green & Zico
FIDDLER’S GREEN celebrated their tour start in Bochum. And a lot of people followed their call. The venue was totally packed with people eagerly awaiting the German folk rockers who have just recently released their new album ‘Wall of Folk’. The evening was opened by ZICO, of course not the well-known football player but the Bavarian band with the same name.

And One - ‘The Sextron Tour 2011’ & Camouflage, De/Vision, Minerve
This time I went on a little longer trip: I went to Dresden to see the completely sold-off show from AND ONE in the old slaughterhouse. The programme sounded promising, because besides AND ONE, another two German Synth Pop heroes appeared with DE/VISION and CAMOUFLAGE. They were accompanied by MINERVE.

Knorkator
KNORKATOR is a German band from Berlin that combines heavy metal with a satiric attitude. They proclaim themselves to be "Germany's most band in the world" (German: "Deutschlands meiste Band der Welt"), as the title "The best band in the world" was already taken by DIE ÄRZTE. The band was founded in 1994 but only played in the Berlin / Brandenburg area until 1998. KNORKATOR gained further fame (and some notoriety) in 2000 with their performance of ‘Ick wer zun Schwein’ (sic; literally, in Berlin dialect, "I'm turning into a pig") in the German national qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their latest album is called 'Es werde Nicht', released this September. http://www.knorkator.de/
