Flag 26.04.2013 Monster Bash München


Flag

Monster Bash in München? Ja, einige interessante Bands, aber die hier wollte ich dann doch unbedingt sehen: Flag. Groß angekündigt wurde das folgendermaßen: Original members Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski and Bill Stevenson with Stephen Egerton performing the music of BLACK FLAG. Da ich Black Flag nie sehen konnte, musste der Ersatz her und voila, hier sind Konzertfotos von Flag live auf der Bühne im Zenith in München beim Monster Bash Festival 2013.

Advertising wrote this: Flag – original members Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski and Bill Stevenson with Stephen Egerton performing the music of BLACK FLAG. I mean hey, this is a musical announcement, I have never seen Black Flag, let’s take the “substitute”. This and lot of other good bands at the Monsterbash Festival in Munich, the place to be on this Saturday in April 2013. And I luckily was, chill and take a look at the Flag concert photos from this live event.

Tim Vantol 26.04.2013 Monster Bash München


Tim Vantol

Das war für mich die größte Überraschung: Tim Vantol. Ich hatte noch nie was von dem Herrn gehört, aber das was da Oben auf der Bühne im Kesselhaus los war und die Lieder, das hat mich richtig positiv überrascht, das hat Spaß gemacht. Vielen Dank an das Monster Bash in München, dass der Tim Vantol gespielt hat, das war eine Entdeckung für mich.

Thanks to the Monster Bash Festival in Munich for having Tim Vantol. I never heard anything about this guy before, but it was for me the biggest surprise what he and his band did at the stage at the Kesselhaus. Good Songs and Tim Vantol was real fun. Thanks.

Millencolin 26.04.2013 Monster Bash München


Millencolin

Schon lange nicht mehr gesehen und ich muss auch zugeben, schon lange nicht mehr gehört: Millencolin. Aus Schweden nach München zum Monster Bash und ich habe mich gefreut, denn alte Hits sind alte Hits und man fühlt sich halt soooo jung. Sorry die neuen Hits kenne ich halt nicht… Man or Mouse, immer wieder eine Frage bei Millencolin. Danke an Nikola Sarcevic, Mathias Färm, Fredrik Larzon and Erik Ohlsson.

Long time that I did not see this band: Millencolin. Coming from Örebro in Sweden all the way down to Munich to play at the Monster Bash for me and lots others. Good fun and nice to hear the old hits, one is feeling so young again. And sorry Millencolin the new hits I don’t know really, but Man or Mouse, let me know!

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead 12.04.2013 Interview Jason Reece

After an intense gig (like always) at the Strom in Munich I had the chance to get 3 minutes with Jason Reece. He is one of the original members (besides Conrad Keely) of And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. The band Trail Of Dead is from Texas and they had their first album out 1998. Last year they published Lost Songs and this is the name of the tour.


Jason Reece from Trail Of Dead Jason Reece interview picture

RTC: If your music would be a film, what kind / genre would it be?
Jason: Let me think, it would be in the future, a science fiction, kind of blade runner with lots of sex and violence.

RTC: What would be your role in this film?
Jason: I would be the renegade, a corrupted cop, not being bad but doing a lot of illegal things, struggling and just trying to survive. Half a cyborg, wait a cyborg is half human half machine, then just a cyborg, not a half one (and on the face was a terrifying cyborg smile)

Now we clarified Jason’s Trail Of Dead film; all right back to music.

RTC: Why should more people listen to And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead?
Jason: Why? Cause we are the best band on this fucking planet, we are the number 1 (another smile) at least in my mind.

RTC: Imagine you are god and you could choose the five headliners for a festival (even dead people or dissolved bands), give me the names:
Jason:
The Who
Fugazi
Sonic Youth
Unwound
A Tribe Called Quest


Jason Reece from Trail Of Dead

Off he was (dragged away by his – take this Gordon – evil cyborg manager), ciao Jason – see you next tour again.
And here you can look at the Lost Songs tour pictures from And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, live in Munich.

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead 12.04.2013 Strom München


Trail Of Dead

Lustig, vor genau 2 Jahren waren And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead auch schon in München und das was ich damals geschrieben habe, könnte ich jetzt wieder schreiben. Intensiv und irgendwie wie auf Drogen. Jason Reece, Conrad Keely und Autry Fulbright II haben es mal wieder gerissen. Wie geil sind die Jungs eigentlich auf der Bühne? Extrem geil! Und was dieser Autry da am Bass abgezogen hat, war die hohe Schule des Rockyogabodenturnen. Das hat alles sehr viel Freude gemacht und beim nächsten And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead bin ich wieder mit dabei!

Same day, just two years later: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead live in Munich. It was great in 2011 and it was great in 2013! Trail Of Dead is just an amazing live band. This time it was not just Conrad Keely and Jason Reece who switched themselves in the parallel music universe while being on stage, this time Autry Fulbright II the man on bass did his Yoga and wrench session while performing. What crazy shit was this? Always bending somewhere, laying on the floor and playing in an unhealthy position, great! Good music, good show, next time I’m at the And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead concert again!

Here a little interview with Jason.
