Selective Reenlistment Bonus Multiplier Of 0

Yuck

Yuck / The Dope

1:03:11 Underground Club, Cologne

was in the early 90's indie world is in order: Dinosaur Jr still had hits, Superchunk Teenage Fanclub were young and still Bandwagonesque and in Westphalia, there was the Hip Young Things and Sharon Stoned even good German bands. Today Bielefeld is just a soon third-class myth, but the other three bands still make music, even better ( Majesty Shredding was my favorite album 2010), sometimes worse (or should we call it in the case of Teenage Fanclub old can), and then come, therefore, the youngsters of Yuck and bring the past back to life.

Their debut album has just been published in England and after a series of sold-out shows in their home stand with her very first performance in Cologne, Germany on the program. Since the CD has not been released in this country, the number of visitors in the small club of the Underground was quite manageable. but maybe 70 people should not regret coming. Although the band has not reinvented the wheel, whiners might even think that one of the songs just after the bands, after which it would seem, should nominate. Shook Down would be Teenage Fanclub, Pavement and operation Georgia Yo La Tengo ... what would actually be even perhaps a reference to Georgia Hubley could. But if young people can come alive for nearly twenty years later, almost my favorite bands back then, one should rather look to find fault and blame them rather than lack of originality, because that music was just fun.
And the four band members on stage thawed slowly. Singer Danny looked very shy at first and reserved, then the lay increasing and then but he communicated with the audience and some vigorous swirling around with his guitar. Only I would have hoped for something more live guitar walls, since except for operation and the slow bouncer Rubber had the appearance of something held back.
However, there were very good 50 minutes, without any addition, but what could one expect from a band with just one album and a handful of singles anymore?
fit very well by the way as well as The Dope in the program, as the duo of Landshut opened with his loop with painted guitar-drum music of the night seemed a little skewed as Yuck with more noise instead of indie rock, but was at least just shy on stage. And no, I can not help to write that I have thus The Dope Show finally seen her live ...

9 Days Past Conception

Jason Collett

Jason Collett / Haruko

26.02.11 quarry, Duisburg

The quarry me seems to want to attract visitors with free tickets, Tubelord after I had won this time for Jason Collett two guest list places - many thanks to Gaesteliste.de .
After they had again enjoyed the shuttle service could be in the pub even the last half hour of Dortmund's masterpiece in the lame Bayern look before then opening act for Haruko went into the hall, this time fully equipped with chairs and tables and there were even drinks served at your seat, so as to have a relaxed evening listening to a folky can.
But Haruko, a German-Japanese woman with elves Touch, not really relaxed. A Mitfahrerin said the shuttle on the return trip very well: "To the music you want to jump out of the basement." I think it is because with Thumper in Bambi, "If you can say anything nice, one should keep his mouth shut." No sooner said than done, and quickly returned to the pub for a beer and a cigarette.
came after then a good humored Jason Collett on stage and did everything right. The guitarist of Broken Social Scene played mostly pieces from his two solo albums released in 2010 Rat A Tat Tat and pony tricks and maintained between the people with humorous stories. So we learned, for example, that Canadians are characterized by the incredible ability to be able to mate in a canoe.
Musically it was also very varied, based on Rat A Tat Tat still with band rehearsed in the stripped-down acoustic songs also convinced robe.
After a good 75 minutes it was then over, without adding yet completely satisfactory. Jason Collett had three years ago once played in the quarry, but could not really remember it, but he is "a pretty good time" have had. This time we had in any case a nice evening.
