Polarkreis 18
Certainly, POLARKREIS 18 is very popular these days. At the moment, the Dresden sestet is on “The Colour of Snow”-tour through Germany, and two weeks ago, the guys finished second the Bundesvision Songcontest. There is no day you can’t listen to their #1 hit ‘Allein Allein’ on the radio. The way from the rehearsal room to the German charts was not that long for the band members who started their career in 1997. It is to be assumed that no one of the involved musicians would have thought of that success. By entering some newcomer contests, the band attracted their today’s management’s interest that led to the signing of their first record contract in 2006. The guys took a lot of credit by releasing their debut album ‘Polarkreis 18’ (2007) that was followed by an extended tour. However, the breakthrough was reached by releasing the second long-player ‘The Colour of Snow’ and the hit-single ‘Allein Allein’ in 2008. http://www.polarkreis18.de/

Rapalje
It was time for the annual Celtic Folk Night. This time it was only Rapalje but that was more than enough of course. Usually at Rapalje concerts the same people turn up but this evening there were many new faces. A great chance for the band to impress them and gain some new fans. Of course there also were some die hard fans.

Polarkreis 18 & Super 700
Even though the Dresden based band is already around since 1998 they were just known to a few insiders… until their single ‘Allein Allein’ got massive radio airplay and jumped up to number one in German Charts. Loving both yet released albums it was for sure that I need to see the band live on stage as well and so, I took the chance to travel to Bielefeld where they were performing supported by SUPER 700 from Berlin.
