Concert Review By Alex Bock of Say We Can Fly with The Living in Munich

February 23, 2016

Say We Can Fly with The Living in Munich, Orangehouse, February  21st, 2016   Braden Barrie, probably better known as Say We Can Fly, visited our beautiful city yesterday to play a gig at the Orangehouse. It’s a small venue, with an even smaller stage. But that makes shows all the more cozy. Contrary to the concerts I usually attend, it was a really quiet kind of night. Due to the band arriving a bit late, doors opened only about 10 minutes before the announced show time. In the end the show started at about 20.30 (8.30 pm), half an hour later than scheduled. Braden had a local band opening up for him. They’re called The Living. They play a bluesy-poppy tune. It’s easy listening music. They’ll soon go out on a little tour of their own promoting the release of their upcoming EP ‘Open Stories’. Braden Barrie, a Canada resident, played last year’s Vans Warped tour in the US and finally he made it over the great pond and to tour European soil. The [Read More]

Concert Review by Alex Bock of The Winery Dogs / Inglorious in Munich

February 18, 2016

  Munich, Feb. 15th, 2016, Backstage So Munich was in for a special treat last Monday. The Winery Dogs made a stop in Munich on their, so far pretty successful, world tour. The venue was packed and sold out, even a barrier was installed, which isn’t the ordinary for that venue. Not that it would’ve been needed to hold back the audience, because they behaved quite well. But it was a plus for the photographers (which includes myself). Opener on this tour was Inglorious. They are a hard rock band from the UK. Influences include the classic rock bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and Aerosmith. Definitely a band you should look into when you’re a fan of the ‘classic’ hard rock genre. Even though the audience didn’t really move that much (that’s honestly no bands fault, that’s a town specific thing), it was fun to watch them play. You could occasionally see people moving their heads slightly, tapping their feet and sometimes cheering.  However, the band played a solid set. So for all [Read More]

Concert Review by Alex Bock: Stick To Your Guns / Stray From The Path / Counterparts / Wolf Down

February 16, 2016

Stick To Your Guns / Stray From The Path / Counterparts / Wolf Down Backstage Werk, Feb. 7th, 2016   What happens when you go to a rock show with four hardcore bands on the bill? Yeah right, it gets really sweaty, esp. for the audience and the security personal. The crowd though needed a while to get into the right mood, but no later than when Stray From The Path entered the stage it was crowd surfing on end. All four bands played solid sets and were fun to watch. Couldn’t really say, why everyone was so tame throughout Wolf Down and Counterparts’ set. Last time I saw Counterparts play with Bless The Fall, Every Time I Die and Architects. They had the crowd going there from the get go. Different audience, different reactions it seems. Wolf Down: Counterparts: Especially SFTP and STYG built a close connection to the audience when talking to them, reassuring the people to fight for their dreams, but also that parents’ concerns aren’t all that wrong with certain decisions [Read More]
