They completely blasted the Indra in March, now Bishops Green where back in Germany for a quick Summer Tour. Bad luck for Hamburg they not only had to play the Logo (not really a good place for these types of shows) but they had to play it after getting their tour banner stolen in Rostock the day before. Throughout the show i had the feeling they where really pissed and part of blame was handed to those at hand, at the Logo.

First on where Bolanow Brawl from Hamburg, they feature under “Street Punk” and what shall i say … they have lots of things right but still sound like a copy cat. Sorry, was not what would get me going.

Next Bishops Green and mmh. I did not feel the same energy in the room, neither from the band nor from the audience – in a positive spirit i’d say it was due to the heat that had it’s grasp on Hamburg. And if you know the Logo then you know that this little shed of a club sucks up heat like salt moisture. Also the place turned out to be oversized for Bishops Green that night, i’d say max 120 people where there.

They rushed through their set, spend little time with the audience and finished in time. As such not that warm and cozy feeling that i was looking for. But hey, touring is hard and if you get robbed by a naughty fucker than i will not complain that next day as a band you do not perform at the top. Anyway, for me it was ok and i still like their look, stance and music. So thank you for keeping the faith!

Now see and listen up – they blasted off with “Another Door” whilst most people where still outside seeking “fresh” air…

 

Towards the end there was more fun like eg. in “Alone”:
