Concert Review: Vlad In Tears, Nox Interna, The Pussybats in Munich. By Alex Bock

Munich, Backstage, Sept. 23^rd, 2016

On August 12^th ‘Vlad In Tears’ 5^th studio record ‘Unbroken’ was released. Four months prior to that the ‘Unbroken’ headliner tour was announced. So almost half a year later the bands’ fans gathered at the Club, one of the smaller venues at the Backstage in Munich.

With them they brought along The Pussybats and Nox Interna.

All three bands are Germany based, but not all of them started out here.

The Pussybats are from Stuttgart. According to their facebook page their sounds is described as Dark Glam Rock, which probably sums up their style best. They have some very catchy songs and they did well in transferring the fun they had onstage to the audience. Check out their latest music video for the song ‘Sidney Fears’

Nox Interna was formed in Spain by Richy Nox, the only remaining member of the original line-up. With their 2^nd record the band started to write most of the songs in English. Richy moved to Berlin where he re-formed the band with new members. That was 2011. Their third and recent record ‘Spiritual Havoc’ was release in June 2015. They are, by their looks and live show, a band that cares a lot about visuals. Sound wise they have Goth elements as well as Industrial. Like The Pussybats they got great crowd responses.

On to the headliner that night – Vlad In Tears. This band originates in Italy. It was founded in 2007 by three brothers and a friend from pre-school days. A few years later two of the brothers, Chris and Dario Miconi, moved to Berlin. The current line-up was completed by Cosmo, a drummer from Romania and Gregor Friday, a guitarist from Australia. They have a tight fan base. Many of them are going to more than one show when they are touring. Even though the venue wasn’t packed, the atmosphere was great. People had a good time. Most sang along to every song. They played a 90 minutes’ set, which is rare these days. Check out the video for ‘Burn inside’, their latest release
