Leatherface 21.04.2010 Feierwerk München


Leatherface

Am Mittwochabend spielten Leatherface aus England im Feierwerk in München, mit dabei: Ihrer neuen Platte The Stormy Petrel . Frankie Stubbs mit Seemannsbart hatte wohl schon vorgefeiert und machte einen leicht angeschlagenen Eindruck. Irgendwie kommt mir Herr Stubbs wie ein räudiger Straßenköter vor, wie er so auf der Bühne steht und dann mit seiner rauchigen Reibeisenstimme seine Lieder vorträgt und genau das ist es was mir auch an Leatherface gefällt! Hat so eine Art von etwas Kaputten, ich nenne es einfach mal Punk Rock. Nicht siffig, aber authentisch und nicht glattgebügelt. Leatherface sind schon eine ganze Weile unterwegs, doch den Durchbruch haben sie nie geschafft, eigentlich schön, denn so sind die Konzerte immer etwas familiäres, obwohl ich den Jungs um Frankie Stubbs den Erfolg gönnen würde. Und dann würden auch viele Teeniemädchen mich total toll finden, da ich ja Leatherface Konzertfotos auf Rock The Cam habe.

Good to see Frankie Stubbs again, cause seeing Frankie Stubbs again means seeing Leatherface live! And although Leatherface are around since years, they never were the hype. To me this is good cause this means seeing them at small clubs and sharing the gig with people who like them not the ones who only came around because right now it is hip. Enough talking, loved it and here are the Leatherface live in Munich concert pix.

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead 12.04.2011 Muffathalle München


And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Was für Drogen nehmen die denn oder klinken die sich alleine mit Ihrer Musik aus? And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead spielten in der Muffathalle auf und was Jason Reece, Conrad Keely der Rest der Trail Gang auf der Bühne zelebriert haben, war klasse. Diese Vermischung von Härte und Sanftheit, laut, leise, Ruhe, Heftigkeit, alles sehr intensiv dargeboten. Progrock mit aus dem Punk kommenden Wutattacken, alles muss raus, der Song muss berühren und fliegen. Keine einfache Musik was Trail Of Dead zum Besten geben, doch das darauf Einlassen belohnt einen. Neue Platte (Tao Of The Dead) und neue Tour zusammen mit Rival Schools, was für ein wundervoller Konzertabend.

Are they on drugs or is the music their drug? And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead came around and played a real intense show, it seems like they space away by their music. Conrad, Jason and the rest of the Trail Of Dead gang could fascinate Munich with their mixture of prog-rock punk guitar music. Loud, quite, hard, soft all kind of feelings: great! Since years a frightening high quality level and come on, Rival Schools on board on this tour – what an event Trail Of Dead supporting their new album Tao Of The Dead and kicking the stage at the Muffathalle.

Rival Schools 12.04.2011 Muffathalle München


Rival Schools

Was für ein Hammer, Rival Schools (Walter Schreifels, Ian Love, Sam Siegler und Cache Tolman) wiedervereint. Vor 10 Jahren ein tolles Album rausgehauen (united by fate) gab es dann noch einiges an Touren und fertig. Jetzt im Jahre 2011 eine neue Platte (pedals) und Rival Schools in Orginalbesetzung auf Tour, so auch heute live in der Muffathalle zusammen mit Trail Of Dead. Ohne großen Schnick Schnack auf die Bühne, die alten und neuen Lieder gespielt und das Münchner Volk glücklich gemacht. Einfach so sind Rival Schools auferstanden und einfach so mal wieder einen schönen Auftritt hingelegt. Einfach so Konzertfotos vom Rival Schools gig hier auf Rock The Cam.

What is going on? 10 years ago Rival Schools did a great album (unitd by fate), did some touring and was gone. Now there is a new Rival Schools record (pedals) in the stores and the band with original line up (Walter Schreifels, Sam Siegler, Cache Tolman and Ian Love) back on touring. Got them here in Munich together with Trail Of Dead and it was great to see them on stage again. Old songs, new songs and Rock The Cam was happy, it looked like quite more people were happy! Another good Rival Schools gig I was able to see and here are some pictures of this event (and can it be that this Mr. Schreifels doesn’t get older?)

Kabeedies 23.06.2010 Interview Katie

Today’s special guest: Katie from The Kabeedies. The relatively new band comes from Norwich UK. It is Katie doing vocals, Evan on guitar, Fab on drums and Rory on bass. Their current release Rumpus is out on NR one records.


The Kabeedies

KATIE: Hi, I’m Katie from The Kabeedies.
RTC: How does your father describes your music to the neighbors?
KATIE: He probably would define it not how I would want it to. He probably would describe it like Punk, but it is not. He is cool, he is just stuck in his own way and he loves Blondie.
RTC: How and why did you start with music?
KATIE: Evan the guitarist and I were in school together and we just wanted to start a band and we’ve been in this awful band called The Inmates and eventually after school somehow we ended up with the new band The Kabeedies.
RTC: Can you live of your music or do you have other jobs?
KATIE: Well I work part time in a bar called The Bird Cage. We earn a little money with the music, maybe a little bit more would be nice.
RTC: But you are not so long on the run.
KATIE: No not so long. We struggle but it is OK.
RTC: How come that you are so often in Munich during a very short time period? For me this is OK.
KATIE: We get treated really nicely everywhere in Germany, everybody has been so kind to us and we have a booker (Hi Peter) who is from Munich. He sets us up with really good gigs and we like very much to play in Germany, here everybody enjoys our music, it is better than in England cause they aren’t so generous and especially London can be really snobby.
RTC: Best song in which you were involved?
KATIE: My favorite song is actually Come Out Of The Blue, we have played it tonight but we did not record it yet. When we go home on Sunday we gonna start mixing and it will eventually be our next single.
RTC: 7″ vinyl?
KATIE: Yes and available to download.
RTC: Best song which you would like to have written?
KATIE: It changes day by day. Probably at the moment it will be Always Like This by Bombay Bicycle Club or a all time favorite song might be anything by the Everly Brothers.
RTC: You still remember the first record you bought?
KATIE: It was Blur by Blur.
RTC: And your favorite book and why?
KATIE: I love reading and again it changes, it depends on my mood. I love the book Bothering High and the collection of short stories of Thomas Mann, I defiantly recommend reading his short stories.
RTC: Last one, imagine you are God and you are able to set up a festival (even with dead persons or dissolved bands), who should be on stage?
KATIE: Chuck Berry
Vampire Weekend
Blur
Blondie, to represent the women
Mondy Ray, cause one of them just stands there
RTC: All right, thanks and over, see you with The Kabeedies soon again live on stage.

Asobi Seksu 12.04.2011 Muffathalle München


Asobi Seksu

An diesem Abend durften Asobi Seksu aus New York für Rival Schools und Trail Of Dead eröffnen. Asobi Seksu sind Yuki Chikudate (Gesang, Keyboard), James Hanna (Gesang, Gitarre), Billy Pavone (Bass) und Larry Gorman (Schlagzeug). Die Musik war OK, aber hat mich nicht so heiß gemacht um gleich Tonträger zu kaufen. Zum Schluss gab es ordentlich Geschrubb und Gitarrennoise und dann den Abgang.

The Kabeedies 23.06.2010 Puerto Giesing München


The Kabeedies

Da waren sie wieder: The Kabeedies aus Norwich, UK. Vor Kurzem erst auf dem Theatron Festival und ratz fatz zurück in München. Diesmal gab es einen kleinen, intimen Auftritt im Puerto Giesing. Zeitlich etwas ungeschickt gelegen, (nach dem WM-Spiel Deutschland gegen England) waren nicht so viele Leute da, wobei das der Stimmung keinen Abbruch tat und Katie Allard, Rory Hill, Evan Jones und Fab Bell namens The Kabeedies haben gerockt. Konzertfotos vom klasse „The Kabeedies“ – Gig hier.
Hast du die Band schon mal live erleben dürfen? Und wie war es?

The Kabeedies from Norwich UK made it another time to Munich. And because their gig at the Theatron festival was good, Rock The Cam went to see them at the Puerto Giesing for the second time. Not so many people (cause it was right after the England vs Germany soccer match – bad timing) but Katie, Evan, Rory and Fab (The Kabeedies) played another good concert. Enjoy the concert photos.
