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

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: Fall Out Boy, Pvris & nothing, nowhere – Rudolf-Weber-Arena Oberhausen, 06 November 2023

It really teleported me back into my teenage days when they played songs like A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me or Sugar, We’re Going Down. Those songs remind me of my Myspace era – and how many bands I discovered through Myspace before it went down … Continue readingConcert review: Fall Out Boy, Pvris & nothing, nowhere – Rudolf-Weber-Arena Oberhausen, 06 November 2023

Concert review: Smash Into Pieces & Cyan Kicks – Resonanzwerk Oberhausen, 02 November 2023

Boom. First time I’ll actually post about a concert here. Don’t take the „concert review“ too seriously, I guess it’s just a bit of rambling. So last night we went to Oberhausen to see Smash Into Pieces. To be fair, yesterday wasn’t exactly my day. I was super tired after work and I wasn’t really too excited about the show either. I like Smash Into Pieces, but it’s not a band I listen to excessively. They were one of my Spotify discoveries that kept popping up in Mixtapes and such and somehow stayed. I was convinced that they would deliver and that the show would be great and I didn’t want my exhaustion to ruin it for me (after all, I’ve been just as tired at other shows and I still managed to enjoy them to the fullest). I told myself „This is probably going to turn me into a
