When FLAG played the Knust two years ago we chatted with Mr. Egerton and he confirmed they were keen to get back to the Markthalle and sell it out &#8211; which indeed they did. He noted that for them it is a cozy club show they love compared to the bigger places they play in the US.<\/p>\n<p>With two support bands it was an early start and Spider from Long Beach had the unfortunate task to play the rather empty hall.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11226\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11226\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spider-1-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spider (Markthalle, Hamburg, 10.07.2018 (c) gehkacken.de)\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spider-1-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spider-1-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spider-1-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spider-1-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spider (Markthalle, Hamburg, 10.07.2018 (c) gehkacken.de)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They did not play long and they did not get a lot of applause.

They would have blasted the room to the max (and their speedy and heavy surf would have been a perfect match).<\/p>\n<p>And once the support was done all of the 1000+ folks attending moved into the main hall, filling it up like it was filled up in the hey-days of Punk (79-83) in good old Hamburg. But before they took the stage they did have a date with my football team in the afternoon and joined the cast of US bands that do <em>cross promotion<\/em> with the FCSP.

The only item of concern is actually the lackluster artwork on the front, sorry that can&#8217;t be the work of Chris Shary (else i need to divorce with him!).<\/p>\n<p>And then they took the stage and they took it with grace, a broad smile and pretty relaxed. And off then went into &#8220;Suburban Home&#8221; and the Markthalle went apeshit. Lots of dancing, lots of fists and some singing. Yep, the Descendents.

They also played one song that i still believe is a hidden gem (and for me has an annotation to a long lost girl that did not turn out to be me love) &#8211; here is <em>Clean Sheets<\/em> (and listen up youth, keep yer sheets clean!):<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 630px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-11221-1\" width=\"630\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Descendents-Clean-Sheets-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Descendents-Clean-Sheets-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4\">http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Descendents-Clean-Sheets-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>What did strike me yet again was the broad smiles all four carried on stage with Bill up there behind his drums sporting the biggest one. They are up there, very self aware and self confident and they do know what it take to deliver some of that joy, love and energy back to an eager audience.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is <em>Good Good Things<\/em>, a song that many passed by on &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to grow up&#8221; and that i believe ranks in the top 10 of the perfect pop songs (next to stuff like <em>Sunstroke<\/em> from <em>Guns&#8217;n&#8217;Wankers<\/em>). And yet again it carries a message for the youth:<\/p>\n<pre>So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man\nLet's see if I can get it right with you this time around\nI'm not afraid of losing you my little girl\nBut do you still believe in me like I believe\n<\/pre>\n<p>I taped this song for me love ages ago with a singular intent (and me love later said YES, lucky me).

Little did i know that i was actually standing next to a Punk Rock legend from sunny Brasil. As i was tipped of the day after by Paulihno (from <em>Flanders 72<\/em>) it was their executive producer Davi, who is the capable guy behind recording, mixing and producing every single <em>Flanders 72<\/em> record. It is a small town world on the punk rock circuit!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 630px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-11221-3\" width=\"630\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bill-Stevenson-Hello-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bill-Stevenson-Hello-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4\">http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bill-Stevenson-Hello-Markthalle-Hamburg-10.07.2018.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>I think the Descendents gave the lot something like 90 minutes, they took on a couple of encores before hitting home with an on stage improvisation that had elements of <em>Catalina<\/em> and other songs. A really cool jam but most likely way too heavy food for most of the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Just a perfect set in most likely a perfect setting (venue, date etc) for Hamburg. But this time round that ain&#8217;t the limit for me. With a gentle push by some of the Punk Rock Hamburg Descendents\u00a0connoisseurs i took on to see them again, together with SOIA and some others, in sunny Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>In hindsight i should have just taken the week off, travel to Berlin and Munich and then Barcelona. Or i should have just abandoned all of these plans and travel south for some Ramonescore and Surf at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.punkrockraduno.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Punk Rock Raduno<\/em><\/a> in Bergamo (something that some others of the Hamburg lot will do).<\/p>\n<p>But hindsight is a silly thing (not a silly girl) and thus i just stick to what makes my heart warm and me feel good: The Descendents and their \u0153uvre!<\/p>\n<p>And for those who ignored it so far: It is you sole duty to get this movie into your household &#8211; you will be proud of the tears you will shed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FILMAGE: The Story of DESCENDENTS\/ALL - Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yPb3dZ7Hqy8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been 21 years.
