It was first set to happen in the rather spacious Markthalle, a setting by some people called “ambitious”, and that was the reason why i did buy a ticket upfront at a rather high price.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But soon it was moved to that black shed near the University called “Logo”, a sweatbox with 1\/4 (or less) of the capacity. And even that place was only like 3\/4th full on a rainy Sunday night. And, with 5 bands on a stretched but small stage, the breaks and changes between the set was a to-come annoyance for sure.<\/p>\n

First off WOLF x DOWN and the singer ruined it for me with a “Yo Hamburg, was geht<\/em>” intro. 5 angry young man in black and with a cause, 3 die heart fans in front of the stage singing every song and … a sound that i do not really dig.<\/p>\n

WOLF x DOWN (Logo, Hamburg, 19.02.2012 (c) gehkacken.de)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whilst they where technically gifted and their songs where together i just did not like the beat and the bellowed vocals, that ain’t my shit.<\/p>\n

Next on Walter Schreifels (ex-Youth Of Today in the late 80s), who orchestrated the Tour, with his new Band Vanishing Life, for the first time in Europe. And what a stark contrast that was against WOLF x DOWN! 4 really different and distinct stage personas: A gifted guitarist that was able to pull sounds from his axe (and his massive FX-board) that i have never heard before, a tall dark bass player in a very stylish outfit, a sturdy drummer in the back and … Walter in a non-hardcore outfit singing with loads of echo but getting across clear words.<\/p>\n \n
