Now that was a killer setting: the mighty Dwarves (though sans HeWhoCannotBeNamed) paired with the exciled russian band Svetlanas! And the setting was with some great visuals on the stage, Putin as the Kiss-like rockstar posterboy – well done for that icon!<\/p>\n

And off they set, sans Olga who did run out to force people back in front of the stage. And when she climbed back on, she did make a stance about that motherfucker … and burned that posterboy! This is how they took residence at the Hafenklang:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Honestly, i think they frightened people. Both with their sound (a harsh hardcore) and the aggressive stance by Olga. But hey, they are aggressive, they are angry – they have been kicked out of Russia!<\/p>\n

During the set more and more people came forward and eyed them, some with quite some strange looks but also some with a thin smile and some even starting to move.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Did i like it? Yes. It is what musick is all about: You use it as your way to let it all out. And hats off for that, also – as ever – for a girl to front a band (in a circle that is plain male predominantly).<\/p>\n

A great set, crisp, harsh – you do not have to love it but it does deserve what has been misused as a term so often: “Respect<\/em>“. And sideways: They got a great artwork, someone is creating smart visual identities for them!<\/p>\n

Next on the Dwarves. Plenty of jokes where traded in the warm up to the show around how long will they play this time – 15 minutes? 20 minutes? You never know with these rock legends…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They took the audience by storm! They know how to play, every song fits and the audience was obviously full of fans – a lot of sing-a-long!<\/p>\n

\"Dwarves

Blag Dahlia as ever the perfect frontman owning the audience, delivering their sex, blood and drug fused punk fuckin’ rock with the nonchalance of the self proclaimed “rock legend<\/em>” that he actually is (in this little space called punk rock).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And how long did they grace Hamburg? They made it a football half, 45 minutes and off they went. And they left behind a lot off sweaty and smiling faces and by all counts – for the Dwarves it was almost a lengthy set!<\/p>\n

For me it concluded 4 shows, 7 bands in 8 days. That’s not too bad for an April. And it got a bonus, the Hafenklang confirmed that in the running up the K-Town Hardcore Fest 2015 at Ungdomshuset (K\u00f8benhavn) some of the bands will play in Hamburg – most notably No Problem from Canada. That date provides a great fixture too look out to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
