It has been a while that i saw a show in a place that was not meant to run live mu-sick. But hey, sometimes opportunities come about and then you gotta grab ’em. <\/p>\n

And grabbing Eugen did, he immediately liked The Roxies after they played the Indra last year and was determined to do something for & with them. They had another show in Hamburg supporting the Dead Boys in February at the Monkeys that i also did not attend, but mates were full of praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only ever saw them pre-Covid, when they supported the mighty Maniac<\/a><\/em> down in the cellar of the Komet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come June 2024 and Eugen decided to get them over to play … actually in his office, in sync with a yard fest run by his neighboring Coffee Roasters<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His office turned out spacious, he and Mike created a decent stage, got some lights and a small PA ready – and off went a short showcase in best DIY fashion. Remember shows in rehearsal rooms? That sort of thing, but better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support was to be Tanju with Tan LeRacoon & Racoonery, but a short notice Covid infection of one band member put a hard stop to it. So it was one band only, early and … crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roxies are from Berlin and they seem to have perfected on Power Pop, with heavy borrowing on UK Post Punk (and some Garage i guess). The net result comes across as high-energy (almost old school) Punk with a slick coating of Pop. They call themselves Indie Punk<\/em>, but that is an odd label for my single minded tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
