Concert: Turbostaat

Dear reader, what should I say...

6 month after giving a concert in Wiesbaden Turbostaat are back in Frankfurt with their double concert today and tomorrow.

So it was Turbostaat that made my day ... :P

Concert: PS I Love You supported by The Rural Alberta Advantage

I didn't know The Rural Alberta Advantage at all until I realized that they were supported by PS I Love You on their tour. And as I wanted to go to PS I Love You anyways I gave them a chance and Paul Banwatt really did his job as drummer of that band, taking the audience with them.
Speaking of Pauls here: Paul Saulnier and Benjamin Nelson are PS I Love You and for me they were supported by The RAA. Saulnier's guitar and voice together with Nelsons drums...!

 

Concert: Jaga Jazzist

Three years ago I've been at a concert of Jaga Jazzist with one girl I met at the couch surfing meeting. I loved the sound, bought the CD, took the music with me on my trip to Prague. It became part of a change in my live... So it was no question to go to the concert at Hafen2 last night. Lot's of old songs, some new ones... Nice light things on the stage (I wondered if these used arduinos to control the LEDs)

Concert: Ben Howard

Good to have friends who know about concerts worth going to. 

After hesitating in the first place I am happy for having had such a great evening!

Concert: Makthaverskan

Sorry for everyone who missed Makthaverskan @Hafen2 in Offenbach. 

Makthaverskan gave a short but really good concert for only a few people - I think they played one song for each of us in the house. When else does the singer say goodbye to you personally when you unlock your bike after the show.

Concert: Blaudzun at Hafen 2

Lots of instruments and even one ukulele (played unplugged in the middle of the audience)! So it's no question that I loved it. The stage crew guy had to take and bring guitars even in the middle of the songs, Band members changed their instruments all the time and Blaudzun put on his songs for the people...was worth the rainy bike ride to Offenbach

Concert: The/Das

Concert: Turbostaat

Turbostaat at Schlachthof!!! Best German band ever! ;-)
I really liked the Räucherkammer here in Wiesbaden. Haven't been there before, but unfortunately it'll be closed soon.

Concert: Love A at Elfer

Was a good start into my Punk weekend: Love A

Concert: Phonopop 2014

I really liked the PhonoPop Festival: good music, nice people everywhere and even delicious food.
I think this is my ranking for the bands I've seen there:

Messer




The Afghan Whigs




The Notwist




Balthazar




Ry X




The Robocop Kraus




Mozes And The Firstborn




Parquet Courts




Sizarr





WhoMadeWho




I didn't make it to:
KATE BOY
L’AUPAIRE
YOUNG HARE
JA, PANIK
SKINNY LISTER
A TALE OF GOLDEN KEYS
KALLE MATTSON
GHOST OF A CHANCE


Here's what I found on Spotify

Concert: Panteon Rococo @ Nachtleben

It was hot in there - I think I haven't had such a wet tshirt at a concert for years!

Concert: Hospitality at Hafen 2

My quick decision for today was pick up the bike and head down to Offenbach (!) with two friends to listen to Hospitality.

 

Fell a bit in love with Amber Papinis smile

Concert: La Dispute at Schlachthof

For me one of the greatest bands of the last two or three years - don't know how often I listened to 'wildlife' their 2011 album, driving in my car or just sitting an smoking.
The concert was the first in years that I bought a ticket for two month in advance - you should listen to this one:



got it?

Concert: Woodkid at Phönixhalle

This guy and his orchestra of brass and string and drums and keyboard provided a great and perfectly timed show with nice video sequences in the background - wasn't cheap but it was worth it:

Concerts: Hafen 2

Hafen 2 birthday concerts were kind of strange, I think

Concert: The Majority Says, Temples, Crystal Antlers

Concert: Girls in Hawaii

Was there with the girrrrls... Would have been a disappointment going to the girls without any girls, you know.

Concert: Villagers

Their technically perfect sound was just as impressing as their music was able to take me far away for a while.

Concert:The Thermals at Zoom

there was another concert last week I didn't mention til now. I've won two tickets although I would have gone there anyways.
