Last Thursday I have been with Patrick to a concert at the new Metropool in the city of Hengelo. He lured me into it…. “If you like Blut Engel, you will like this too!” And dawn it, he was right…
First band of the line up was Ayria from Canada. The music was nice, but somehow I didn’t like the voice of the singer. And she had way too many piercings, that always gives me shivers and unwelcome thoughts.
The second group Straftanz, as the name already indicates they come from Germany. Raw and direct music. Already much better then the first band. They placed a good show.
The last band and main act was VNV Nation. And yes, they were very good. Very strong, but good music with a industrial influence. The show was good. The lead singer really “played’ with the audience. The light effects they used were awesome. I truly enjoyed it.
And I have seen many bands giving an encore when the audience wanted one. But this was the first time I ever saw a band giving TWO encores. Really great show!!!
What I liked about all artists is that they came talk with the people after the show and signed things if you wanted that.
I sadly learned that my Nokia E71 is not very well suited to make pictures at such an event. Next time I will write a mail to the organization behind the show if I can be allowed to make pictures with my SLR. If not, I will bring my loyal old Canon Powershot. Not the best, but still better as the Nokia. So sadly no pictures of this performance.
But at least I have got a t-shirt!!!! And Marion, be warned… this t-shirt is not meant as nighty. So leave it alone, else we will have a “war”…
War eh? I like your kind of wars too much to be not tempted 😛
Oh dear… I lured you…
Better watch out. Much more “if you like Blut Engel” bands are coming this way. Much more “vleermuizen” to look at. Much more music to enjoy.
