I was off to London on work, did not make it in time back to the Teenage Bottlerocket show @Meanie Bar in Hamburg (the tiniest spot you can imagine). So what do i get from me mate Frosch …. the setlist! Thanks mate, much appreciated!
Update August 2016: 3 Years after the show Markus provided me with another shot – thanks mate!

Me Mate Frosch loves to travel and he loves to travel to see his favorite bands. Off he goes to Boston, for Hometown Throwdown and off he goes to Berlin-Paris-Barcelona to see RFTC. He claims it was worth it, although he admits that RFTC coming off the plane after a loung haul flight into the show in Berlin was a bid of an ambitious move (and not to their advantage).
I did see RFTC twice in Hamburg in their first incarnation in the 90s and indeed their blend of music was something special. I still own the RFTC bowling short in red and sure their vinyl collection…plenty of vinyl actually. Time to get them into my loveliest vinyl collection!
Thanks to Frosch for the pictures!
… went to see the mighty (and reformed) Saint Vitus @the tiny Logo in Hamburg and enjoyed it sooooo much!
Dave Chandler – has he aged? Indeed he has but he is enjoying the noise as ever! And the looks, boy, the looks! Best Moments: Chatting up birds being interrupted by someone asking to sign a record – looong grin! Plus: Telling the audience to puke on the supervisor next morning and say “fuck off from Saint Vitus”!
Mark Adams – stoic bass player, head and hair down – he is either consumed by dope or cracking astrophysical problems! Best Moment: Did he smile once?
Henry Vasquez – re-born Chuck Biscuits (as in Social Distortion), same wildman-beating-drum-up sytle! Best Moment: Rearranging the lights behind the drums!
Wino – is still Wino. Love it – your fist in the air! Best Moment: Any!
Great evening but why the fuck was i stamped “Elvis”?
