The Flensburg tour started on Friday, April 11th, at the Q-bar, right by the harbor. Three bands played, but only one impressed me enough that I immediately invited the gentlemen of the band for a chat at the bar.
The first band at the Q-bar was also the best... And somewhere in between, I had a conversation with the very nice Tama... the frontman of TAMERS KOMBI. All songs are in German, and the content of the individual pieces revolves around everyday life. The songs by TAMERS KOMBI have something to do with songwriting, but they are a bit poppy and cheesy; however, my criticism was very gracefully accepted. On the contrary, AUSSENBORDER came off quite differently. Their works are sold for €10, and in response to my comment that it was a bit too expensive, I received the blunt answer that he has debts. Ouch... He also played with the RUBBERMAIDS at some point, which I honestly don't care about. At 40 years old, he should know how things work. Therefore, I won't write any more about this band, as I literally fell asleep at the bar while they were playing. I then headed home! The real reason for my falling asleep was not necessarily the band, but rather the flu that suddenly knocked me out that evening!
Saturday was supposed to take place at the Hafermarkt to see three amazing bands. End of all from Sweden, Realm of Chaos from Denmark, and the local Wreck age from Flensburg were set to give me a serious beating... It started around 11 PM, which is already relatively late for my standards, coming from the Cologne area. Now it was the Flensburgers' turn. Everything came across as super cool, except for the drummer, heavy hardcore with a slight crust influence. The Danes had a frontwoman who had an incredibly powerful voice for her size. Deathmetalcore! My goodness, I enjoyed myself at the Hafermarkt. The guys have set up a very nice location there. Definitely a nice vibe. Unfortunately, I had to skip End of all due to the flu and was getting increasingly tired, barely able to stay on my feet...
Sunday was spent at VOLKSBAD with THE BELLRAYS... A black frontwoman, who was somewhat plump and wore a dress that was too tight, came on stage... "We are the bellrays and we rock your ass tonight!" Then three other inconspicuous musicians came out, who didn’t look like they would deliver a punch later on. They played, appealing to the lady, the finest SOULROCK a la MC5!!! This woman was amazing, and her voice convinced me to sway my ass vigorously to the absolutely fantastic solos, which were occasionally supported by a "Cry Baby". The bassist and drummer were certainly not on their first tour, and it blasted nicely from the speakers... Unfortunately, the Volksbad was not well filled, with about 40 to 50 people finding their way there. Now it’s dead here again... And let's see when I get around to writing another report…
