Good start.

HOAX played last 13rd february in Prague, Czech Republic, and due I'm living in an area of Germany that is not so far away from that nice city, a friend of mine and me decided to get into the car and drive to there.
We arrived a little bit late (we couldn't skip to eat the tasty food at THE LOVING HUT) than we missed the first band, so we saw CONTROLLED EXISTENCE which was a grind-core band that wondered me, I am not so fan of this style but it was a good set what they played, and very short, I think that each song it was maximum 1 minute lenght.
In spite that I have not been often at shows these first weeks of 2013, I can't complain cause this has been the first show and it was such a good one.

SUNDAY' HC-PUNK MATINEE

Sunday 02th December @ KUNSTVEREIN - NÜRNBERG.

 This show started early, it was some kinda matinee, though for me it looked like a normal show that starts at 9 o'clock due that here right now is winter and around 16hr or 17hr gets dark. The venue is a well know self-managed social center with more than 30 years on activity, and where lot of punk and hardcore bands have been playing.

The nite started with BARREN, vegan sxe band from Thüringen (GERMANY) and which caught my attention, cause their sound is very 90's hc style (think about CULTURE, RISEN, FACEDOWN, etc) Unfortunately I have had an lil' accident with the photos that I shot of this band, do not why hell all the pictures have dissapeared from the memory card, so I have to search for a recovery files program and hope to get those photos as soon as possible.

BARCELONA DE PLÁSTICO!

Last 19th november at the jugendhaus of Erlangen (a nearby city to Nuremberg) was playing one of my current favourite hc-punk bands from Barcelona, ABSURDO.
They are on tour around Europe, and this show was so good that they stopped at this place. ABSURDO is a fast and angry hc-punk 80's style, in the vein of VOID, SSD or "VICTIM IN PAIN" sound of AGNOSTIC FRONT. They were sharing the stage with a new german fastcore band called Is Dodelijk and a duo-band called STREET EATERS, which was just a drummer and a bass player and cause this, they made me think a lot about THE WHITE STRIPES. It was a cool monday' nite.

LIVE BY THE CODE , THE CODE OF HC!

Here you are some of the photos of what it was a total insane show last friday Nov. 2nd at Woody's in Schleiz (Eastern Germany).

GUILTY opened the show making some kids start their engines for the next bands.

RISK IT! this german hc band had such a good set and feedback from the crowd and with them practically start the madness of this show.

NO TURNING BACK had also such a great set with people going crazy all the time.

TERROR as always giving their maximum level of HC, and showing why after this 10 years as band, they are still carrying the name of HC at full strength.

BERLIN, STUTTGART AND DRESDEN ASOZIAL

Last week I was looking forward to this show because I like these the german bands: FINAL PRAYER and EMPOWERMENT (which actually are together on tour), mainly this last one which has became in my favourite hc band due their music, lyrics and attitude (click on the image and check out their blogspot if you don't know yet them.) 

This was the first show I was shooting with the new lens that I've got, a tamron 17-50mm 2.8, it was a lil' bit hard to manage the exposure and light, anyway I will get familiar with it as much as im still shooting photos with it.

Show debut of this german sxe hc band. It was cool set the one they played, people shown a good feedback/support to them. 

BLINDSIDE
Belgian sxe hc band with clear influences of bands like THE ABUSED. Their set also was cool, people in the pit and singingalong. Nice that they covered LIKE YOU of JUDGE, good one!

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:
