That was huge, that was grand, that was one for the ages…our first open air appearance ever lies some days behind us, and it still blows our minds. About two weeks earlier we got a mail saying they wanted us to play their “FH Darmstadt Sommerfest”, and we said “Yes, let’s do that.”, knowing that our drummer was out for some more weeks. So, Tom G made some calls, and Wolf joined the band for the gig, which made us spend night after night in our bunker rehearsing all week to get the songs into Wolf’s hands. And he did it, learned them all, and hit the drums so hard we thought he would wreck it in two songs maximum. But the drum held. So on Friday the 13th we drove out to Darmstadt to see what’s gonna happen there….
We arrived there, and it was fun from the first second on. The stage was prepared, fully equipped with a big p.a. and light system, ready to roll. We only had to bring our amps, plug em in, check the lines, and do our thing. And what a big thing we did…man, can’t tell you if you weren’t there. The weather cleared, the rain stopped, the people who were there already came up front, so we kicked it… played a whole 1 hour set with all the songs we have, made the crowd go loud, forced them into submission to the groove, and when we were done, it was all dark, and it was a real open air dream come true.
I could go on for hours writing on each detail, but I guess most visitors are in quite a hurry, so I’ll keep it short…if you want to know more, don’t hesitate and mail us! Phone us up! Just ask. A million thanks once more to Wolf for being such a great human being and a hell of a drummer, thanks to the AStA guys (especially Heiko) who believed in us to rock their party, and kudos to the sound mixing guy, man, Mario, you’re the shit, you gave us the almost best monitor sound we ever had. Thanks to you, it was such a great experience that night! And thank you to everyone out there in the crowd making it such a pleasure playing. You know who you are….
Peace everbody!!
