It was an absolute must to be there again this year; I enjoyed the show in 2013 immensely.
As support in Berlin, the band "The Twitchblades" from the same city was on board. The band consists of half members from "The Not Amused" (Kidnap, Voc./Guitar and Rosa Riot, drums), complemented by frontwoman Desiree and bassist Kat Yeah.
"The Twitchblades" play a mix of 77 punk and power pop with a sing-along factor.
A band that also had its fans that evening and created a great atmosphere.
After a short changeover, Spizzenergi began their show with "6000 Crazy".
Frontman Spizz, as the only original member, first shone literally with his accessories. Flashing LED rings and various glowing accessories, along with his outfit completely tailored to Spizzenergi, leave no doubt about who is on stage: Spizz himself.
After the opening song, one Spizz hit followed another. While the band used to work a lot with electronic elements, these parts are now replaced by the solid guitar work of the two guitarists Luca Comencini and Phil Ross. The whole thing gets the necessary groove from the rhythm section with drummer Jeff Walker and bassist Ben Lawson. They completely forgo keyboards and synths.
Some songs from the 80s originally sounded somewhat awkward and unusual, but today it all sounds absolutely contemporary and in a way timeless.
Anyone who doesn't know the band from the 80s would not guess that almost all songs are at least 30 years old.
The only exception is the new track "City of Eyes", which fits seamlessly into the band's classics. Nevertheless, the all-time smash hit "Where Captain Kirk?" was also one of the highlights of the Spizz set that evening.
Almost everyone should know the song, and so the audience was fully engaged in singing along.
Once again, an absolutely convincing "old" band was seen and heard, which, like many others from the era, was often a step ahead in terms of songwriting and still often is today. Great!
