again in Conneisland/Leipzig...

Finally a hc show! I was looking forward to be at any one, and finally it was. Since I am living in this village in southern Germany, I am not able to be often at shows like when I was living in Barcelona (yes, sometimes I miss that city madly) mainly cause in this area where I live there are not often shows and I have to drive if I want to be at one, but my big problem most the times is that I have not driving license and then I depend of my husband or any friends for going somewhere. Yes, I know, I need to get the bloody driving license, period.

This show was in Leipzig, so my crew (my husband, my daughter and my brother in law)  and me drove 3 hours for this show and got the chance to visit a friends who live in this city.
It was supposed 4 bands would play that night, but WOLFXDOWN had to cancel some days before their participation due personal issues, so the line up was ANGSTBREAKER, local band from Leipzig, xBARRENx vegan sxe hc from Thuringen (eastern Germany also) and my favourite hc band from this land, or better said "Mein Lieblings DEUTSCHPUNK band": EMPOWERMENT. I just can say that sometimes is so hard when a band that I really like is playing and I am on dilemma: shooting pictures or hitting the pit, but sometimes I can do both things.

ANGSTBREAKER

what I'm "cooking"!

Nearly two months since last entry on this blog. Too much things to do lately plus a little girl of 15 months old who is like a Taz demon plus that I have not been able to go to shows lately = sometimes not time for up-dating.

But during these weeks I have been working on two of my projects, and if nothing bad happens, one will coming out in couple weeks. It is a photo fanzine which contains all photos with female members of hc -punk bands. After several years doing a fanzine called CLITOCORE ZINE which was related with the female roles into the hc-punk scene, and another one more focused on sxe and hc-punk and metal, I wanted to do something new for keeping the feeling and love for fanzines alive.

It consists in a fanzine of A5 format with around 24 pages. Some of the bands featuring are: WALLS OF JERICHO, THE AVENGERS, LAS OTRAS, WE RIDE, RVIVR, CODE ORANGE KIDS, REACHING HAND, WOLFXDOWN, SILLA ELECTRICA and many more!

As soon as I get the copies fron the print company, I will confirm the price, but I guest it will cost around 2 o 3 euros plus shipping costs (depending of your location), for any info or order it just send an email to: xmdmxhcx(at)gmail(dot)com

FLUFF FEST 2013!

Just right after coming back from 2 weeks of summer holidays in Barcelona and Murcia (Spain) visiting family and friends, did a small backpack and went to Czech Republic for two days at FLUFF FEST.

Two hours driving, having some technical problems with the car, but just arrived on time when VIOLENT REACTION started to play, second time seeing these guys playing cause I saw them in Barcelona last 14th July, and also at the fest they killed it as well as HOUNDS OF HATE (though in my opinion I've would rather to see them at the tent stage, instead of the main stage). Next on the list of bands I liked: SECTARIAN VIOLENCE (I just can say: madness in the pit, I loved it!) and HARM'S WAY. I missed COKE BUST and the other bands due that me and my buddies had to search for a place where we could camping and built a huge tent. Imagine three people who hate camping building a tent which was big as an auto. So, I finished the 1st day of the fest with the DISCO PARTY at the tent stage. Such a cool time I had. Dancing nearly all night long, sometimes with nice company and sometimes dancing with myself. Ryan, from AS WE WERE, did a good job as Dj. Everybody shaking their asses and sweating like in a sauna.

Saturday was somekinda "relaxing" day, trying to rest standing in the shadows cause the heat was killer; in the tent it was impossible to be, it was like being in an oven. So what I did: talking with friends, checking out distros, eating vegan burgers. Bands that were good to see this day: EN MI DEFENSA, GOVERMENT FLU, REMISSION, REFLECTIONS, VOWELS, WOLFXDOWN (people going psycho singingalong and stagediving with this band), VITAMIN X (the fun is always present with these guys, the stage invasion and huge wall of death were amazing!). This night not much party cause my knee and right leg were fucking me up. So, at midnight went straight to sleep.

Sunday early morning packing everything and left the festival. It was a pity that I had to left, cause this day I missed to see OATHBREAKER. I had such a great time meeting old friends from several countries, mainly the ones that I just knew via internet and then after many years we had the chance to see us in person. Making new friends was also joyful. 

Without doubt this is still my favourite kind of* HC-PUNK festival, not like others that have fucking energy drinks or any crappy sponsors, show girls "for the public's entertainment", FUCKING BARRICADES and bodyguards in front of the stage, shitty press passes. etc.

So, till next year ROKYCANY!

CANT' STOP, WON'T STOP...

What a bummed moment you can have when you have been planning for several weeks go to a show with some bands that you love to see at live, but for some reasons you skipped the time of buying tickets in advance and then you realized just one day before of the show that it is totally sold out.
Bummed without doubt, mainly if you have been several days not in good mood for personal reasons.
So you try some ways to find out how to get tickets, ask for help and then a friend help you out doing his possible (If you are reading this, Scott, one more time: THANKS A LOT KID!).

The show was an indoor fest and it was such an great injection of "vitamin HC" (as sometimes i call it). Meeting people, some buddies from another german cities, as well as meeting some new ones. Shooting photos as well as stagediving and singingalong, ALL THAT I NEED for making the blues away! Despite that during TERROR's set, I had a bad moment while I was stagediving, there was an asshole who grabbed my vagina with very bad intention, those bigots who do that kind of things makes me sick, taking chance while girls are into the pit for their fucking morbid/chauvanist things, that bullshit do not belong to the hc-punk scene!
