On Saturday 16th October, AND ONE opened their current "Tanzomat Tour" in Hamburg. The venue "Große Freiheit 36" was sold out and as a special for the die-hard fans they could buy a VIP Pass (inclusive access to the VIP-area and a T-shirt from the merchandise) or an Universal Pass (inclusive Backstage access, access to the VIP-area and a T-shirt from the merchandise). But before AND ONE entered the stage, two other bands performed their support sets.

Saltatio Mortis - Ten Year Anniversary Concert
SALTATIO MORTIS have come a long way in ten years. I could say from Medieval Markets to the pinnacle of their game, but so grounded as individuals are they and such is their love of their work that despite mammoth success and acclaim they still play Medieval Markets, but they also put on a rock show, and not just any rock show, but one that makes you hold your breath and goose bumps rise on the back of your neck. And so I travelled to the historic Town Hall in Wuppertal for their ten year anniversary gig, a gig I would not have missed for the entire world.

Schneewittchen
SCHNEEWITTCHEN is one of the most interesting German alternative bands. Marianne Isar (vocals) and Thomas Duda (instrumentals), started to make music together in Hildesheim in 1996, using simply their names as a band name. In 2000, they choose the name SCHNEEWITTCHEN (snow white), a name of an old German fairy tale, for their band project. They mix successfully elements of very different styles, and as per their own disclosure, they are influenced both by the classical German songs written by Schubert and Schumann and by the French chanson, but also by Punk and other styles. When SCHNEEWITTCHEN was still simply “Mariannes Isar & Thomas Duda”, they used to play at cabarets, but after a few years they changed and started to perform at concert halls, music festivals and street fests, gaining in popularity every year. www.schneewittchenmusik.de

Goldfrapp
On this last day of the Oktoberfest in Munich, I came along on the way to the Muffathalle to have a look at GOLDFRAPP. It was not complete chaotic, but nevertheless, some fans indeed came in traditional dirndl or lederhosen to the concert…
