Today I had planned to go with Patrick to a concert of “Blut Engel” in Germany. Everything was arranged, I would travel to the town of Oldenzaal where Patrick lives and from there we would drive to Germany. Then Friday evening we would celebrate Patrick’s birthday and in the weekend I would drop by in Haaksbergen.
Well would… but I had the become rather sick last week and although I am feeling better then last week, on advice of many I dropped the made plans and stayed home to recover more from my illness. As said, those who really care about me where really afraid that all this travelling, little sleep and lots of beer would not be good for me right now. And I guess they are right!
The Style of the German band BlutEngel is somewhere between “EBM” (Electronic Body Music) and “Darkwave”. But there also “Techno” and “EuroDance” influences. So normally they place BlutEngel in the category “FuturePop” (Eh, WikiPedia is saying this. Not me. So it must be true :P).
Anyway, I got to know BlutEngel through a Danish young lady. She made me listen to the song “Children of the Dark” and I was deeply impressed. And yet it took some years before I really got interested in BlutEngel. Downloading the album “Seelenschmerz” from iTunes was the first step. Since then many of their albums found their way to my iPod (and yes, all legal :P).
And well, today I could have seen them. Maybe even got a signed CD and a t-shirt. Ah well, it could not be this time… but there will be another time!
But there is something else what annoys me also. It has been some time that Patrick and I met, talked and shared some beers. It has been way too long. And I was looking forward to have some laughs with Patrick again. Well, not also that could not be…
But as I Patrick already told on the phone (and I am very serious about this) I will make to sure to catch up on this on short term. I will travel to Oldenzaal or Patrick will come this direction… but we will share some beers very soon!
Die Maske die Du trägst
Und die Gefühle,
Gefühle die Du nicht verstehst…”
Robje, I know how much you wanted to go there today, but believe me this is really the best for you.
And you are right, set a date that Patrick and you can have some beers together.
Lets try to do something fun together this weekend.
Well, don’t believe everything that wiki says 😀
So sad you could not make it. You really missed a great perfomance in a great setting with great ambiance.
We really have to set a date soon. I saw that Candy Dulfer comes to metropool on sat 14/4
