My Immortals.. Welcome to BEHIND THE NOISE!

After a somewhat longer break, the Klosterhof was once again the place to be for "underground", which the BlattTurbo team delivered in the form of metal, rock and punk. The magazine from Euskirchen has made it its business to support the local cultural scene and to give it a stage for its music. That this goes down well was shown at the very first band evening of the year. When we arrived at the old-established pub with its quaint character, we were checked in advance. Every visitor, no matter if booster, unvaccinated or pop enthusiast had to bring a daily test to the event to be let in.

Ice Cream At The Alligator Park have not only brought their instruments, but also their entire fan community, which has traveled especially with a bus from Cologne. The last time we saw the band was almost two years ago with a singer at the band evening, who was quickly replaced by singer Miri. The change of the singer could already be felt at the beginning, whose successor apparently brought a bit more looseness into the band. With a punk attitude and a mischievous smile Miri danced across the stage, made jokes with the crowd and did not take it upon herself to bang on the drums sometimes. The band harmonized very well and conveyed a groovy alternative rock sound that really put people in a mood and even the audience liked it so much that the band got a rain of applause. Definitely a highlight of the evening for us!

"Fuck Putin", to which the next song was already intoned. The conclusion of the evening was made by Volume, which we have been allowed to accompany live really often. To see their development and to be allowed to watch them at their concerts is always exciting and to get to hear maybe one or the other new song anyway. Volume took the already heated mood and put it into their songs. The band was in tune with each other, showed a strong stage presence and surprised with a good mix of fast and slow songs, which kept their typical punk meets alternative rock sound. The sense of humor was maintained as always and showed it especially in songs like "Fog", where the fog machine of course had to be turned up to the max.
