BACK ON TRACK WITH PHOTOS OF FLUFF FEST

Finally I am BACK ON TRACK after this stand-by due my pregnancy. Four weeks ago born my daugther Sophie, she has came to this mad world in good conditions and healthy. These first weeks of maternity have been a bit crazy and stressed, daily living with a baby is a hard thing to deal with.

So, in my willing to be at shows, I had the chance to spend one day at FLUFF FEST (Rokycany - Czech Republic). I just could be one day of the whole 3 days of the festival, exactly on saturday. It was lucky that where I live now in Germany is just one hour and half by car to the city where the festival is celebrated. The weather was not good the weekend of the fest: cloudy, cold and rainy, the sun just appeared for one hour or so.

Like FLUFF FEST or IEPER FEST (in BELGIUM) are the kind of hardcore-punk festivals that I like to be/go cause: no fucking barricades between the stage and the crowd (so people can stage-dive as much as they want and going nuts).
No fucking press passes to request for making photos or get in contact with any band for an interview. You can see band's members hanging around and maybe having a talk with any kid who came to ask something or just want have a chat.
People/bands trading stuff with the distros/labels. The DIY spirit still alive in these kind of festivals, and that's what I like.

The bands I could take photos were the following:
