rocking one the holidays.

Last easter holidays I was in Barcelona visiting my mom and meeting my good friends. I was such a nice time and the weather also, though a couple days windy and cloudy, but so much better and warm than the dark and cold days in Germany.

There were two shows on same dates I was staying there, on 27th March SECTARIAN VIOLENCE with a local band, but sadly I arrived late to the show and it was already finished. Anyway, I got the chance to buy the new record of the band, check it out, it is a blast!

Some few days later, I went to another show with a couple spanish bands, DISPARO from Valencia, playing a good 80's hc-punk and INSTINTO d-beat hc in the vein of WOLFBRIGADE or TRAGEDY. Here also I missed one band, in this case it was INSTINTO, which I was looking forward to see at live. Then DISPARO played such a nice and energetic set, with people dancing and singingalong all the time, to finish it  covering NEVER SURRENDER of BLITZ. It is the second time I see this band at live and I've liked their sound even more.

Well, this time the photos are not shot with my beloved reflex digital canon 400D. They are taken with a canon powershot A2200, so I was back to basics: compact camera.

Wrong way, no way!

RVIVR is one band that has became in one of my favourite from this pop punk style, though I prefer called melodic punk rock. I was looking forward to see this band at live, then 2 weeks ago I saw that they are doing a spring tour in Europe. I checked out the dates and then showed: "19 march @ JUNGENDHAUS, Erlangen", a big smile on my face.

The show' bill was 4 bands but I missed the first one (yep, lately i miss always the first bands, that's the thing to deal with sometimes  when you are a mom). It was nice to see that this show was with all bands with some girls rocking on, which I really appreciate.

BOYSETSFIRE benefit shows

Boysetsfire played 2 benefit shows last weekend in Frauenau (South-east of Bayern-Germany) for supporting the Jugendcafe Zwiesel which will be closed due that the owners of the building want to sell it, and the intention of those two days shows were for collecting enough money for buying the place and that way don't lose a venue where most of punk, rock, hc shows and more activities that are used done there.

my friend Nina told me about going with her to that show, she is a big fan of BSF, and as I had never before the chance to see 'em (well, one time they played in 2004 at Ateneu de Vallcarca, which was a well known social center of Barcelona, but unfortunately I missed that show) so i said, ok let's go!

It was such a good show, such a intense and energetic. See the people singingalong nearly with every song, and I was stocked cause I was in the middle of the crowd shooting photos and without the worry of getting harmed.

This is how it was.

Back from some few days in Hamburg visiting a couple of my cousins who live there, I got the chance to go to the show of EXPIRE & ROTTING OUT at a club called HAFENKLANG.
As support band was BENEATH THE WHEEL, but unfortunately due my "tardiness" I missed their set.
Both bands, R.O & EXPIRE, gave a good set and people were supporting all the time, though the crowd went more nuts with EXPIRE.
From here says thanks to the guys of R.O. (Wallyedge and Benji) for their copperation with my photo project.

EXPIRE @ HAFENKLANG 28/02/13 HAMBURG-GERMANY.

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.
