Concert review: Fiddler’s Green & The Feelgood Mclouds, Carlswerk Victoria Cologne, 12 April 2024

Posted on admin

Concerts during week days can sometimes be a bit troublesome. Especially when they are Cologne. Getting there is a pain in the ass and also I’m often so exhausted from work that I don’t really feel ready for a concert at all. Thankfully Fiddler’s Green are the type of band that will make the evening great even when I felt mostly like staying at home. The show of their The Green Machine Tour was no exception…

Concert review: Normandie, As December Falls & Self Deception, Technikum Munich, 16 March 2024

Posted on admin

How far do you go to see a band you love play a set of 30 minutes? In that case: a 6 hour train ride all the way to Munich. I know, there are people who travel with the band, but I’m sure none of those are full-time teachers. So for me and my circumstances, this is quite a distance to travel for only a concert – and I think so far this has been one of the furthest trips I’ve made for a concert exclusively. Anyway, this was the second show of this tour that I attended. I was also at their show in Cologne, but since I had only recovered from a cold and spent the entire rest of the show after Self Deception’s set sitting in a corner with a massive headache and almost unable to breathe, I didn’t write a concert review for it. This time,

Concert review: Our Mirage, Oceans & Maelføy, Don’t Panic Essen, 9 March 2024

Edit: Parts of this review were written shortly after the show, parts of it about 4 weeks later due to lack of time – so this is a mess. And I still haven’t finished editing my photos, so they will be added later.  Second round of this tour. I can tell straight away that this will be less of a concert review – because this time I got a photo pass (for the first time – or second, somehow, if we count that one time Self Deception just allowed me to bring a better camera) and since I was very busy moving around to take photos I didn’t take much in of the concert. A pity, but also a great opportunity.

Concert review: Blind Channel, Ghøstkid & Rock Band From Hell, Turbinenhalle 2 Oberhausen, 21 March 2024

Edit: This review was written the day after the concert, but since I was very busy (and got ill) I couldn’t edit my photos and hence couldn’t post this earlier than now. In 2022, I bought a better compact camera to be able to take photos of Blind Channel at their tour with Electric Callboy. This band brought back my lost passion for concert photography and when I started taking photos at their shows I thought “One day I wanna be in the photo pit for Blind Channel.” Well, that day was yesterday – so here we are with a concert review that is slightly clouded by the fact that I was partly focusing on my photography.  But at the same time, this was probably one of my favourite BC shows so far. Friendly reminder not to post any of those photos on Tumblr, Pinterest, Discord or any other social

Concert review: Lyrre (& The Harp Twins feat Volfgang Twins), Club Helvete Oberhausen, 24 February 2024

Posted on pahakeijukainen

I collect projects that are connected to (former) Eluveitie members like Pokémon. It becomes especially interesting when there’s a hurdy-gurdy involved, so I guess no one is truly surprised to hear that Michalina Malisz’s own band Lyrre is on my list of favourites. This one makes me particularly happy because it’s a band I’ve been following from the very start. Hence I was very excited when they finally announced a show in my area, even if they were only the support act. Here’s my little report about that night, but be warned: Once again I’m focusing on the support act because I went there mainly (or only) to see Lyrre.

Concert review: Delain & ILLUMISHADE, De Pul Uden, 19 January 2024

Posted on pahakeijukainen

Let the concert year 2024 begin – with a bang! This show was long anticipated, since ILLUMISHADE are currently in my top 10 favourite bands and this was the first time I would see them live. Yes, we’re back at the „let’s go abroad to see the support act“ game – and it was worth it. Here’s my little concert recap of my first concert in 2024. (Note: This review was written the day after the show, but published significantly later)
