Furthermore, it’s just nice to know that there’s another club venue where punk rock doesn’t fall on deaf ears.
Hell yeah. But now to the concert.
Three bands from Düsseldorf and Dormagen had gathered under the leadership of Merlin Paluch, who is the singer of the band China Wild, to turn the small hall into a sweat factory.
The evening began with the band "Extrem Schlecht" from Dormagen (www.myspace.com/extremschlecht), who also brought quite a few people along. While the sound wasn’t exactly stellar, the guys managed to deliver a respectable gig without stage sound. Stylistically, it leaned towards riff-oriented and melodic punk rock, which was musically convincing to some extent. The atmosphere wasn’t exactly at boiling point, but at least there was polite applause.
The downside of this performance was the rather monotonous presentation on stage, which prompted some to express criticism. Please show a bit more enthusiasm. At times, it looked like it was a chore to get on stage.
In the middle of the program, the Düsseldorf guys from the relatively fresh band "Kolbenfelix" took the stage. I awaited their performance with quite a bit of curiosity, as the singer from China Wild is also active in this band as a guitarist and drummer.
Cheeky and without any shyness towards the audience, the newcomers from the local scene engaged the crowd and immediately got the first pogo circle going for their fresh performance. Kolbenfelix showed with joy and gratitude that they can still be counted on, but they should practice a bit more to ensure the instruments work well together, though one must not forget that these are still very young and inexperienced guys.
But at least that was the right start for the main band of the evening.
Incredible what’s happening at the moment, as the band "Untherapierbar" is playing their first home game or their second concert ever, and the small hall is packed. Accordingly, the beer level is... absolutely full.
Finally, a band that knows their craft. A live-played energetic intro hints at where the journey is headed. Punk rock in German. But what’s this? The intro ends, a seamless transition into the song "Discodreck", and the drummer stops playing. What happened there... a slipped disc, age-related dementia... No. An absolute sound mush on stage, making it impossible to hear anything clearly. But they have humor... So, a quick adjustment of the sound, a brief announcement... And off we go.
The atmosphere was at 120%, the pogo was on point, and the absolutely awesome punk voice of the singer "Kina" resonated clearly throughout the small room.
The announcements were also just fun, as there’s a little story for each song, even if it leads to controversies like with the song "Ausländer raus", which of course contains no right-wing thoughts. But I think, just listen for yourself.
Another point to note is that the guys and girls know their craft, which creates an increased fun factor that clearly resonated with the audience.
To conclude, there was the Schleimkeim classic "Bullenterror", which was of course celebrated frenetically.
In short: A successful evening for all involved bands, fans, and pests.
We look forward to more.
