My Immortals.. Welcome to BEHIND THE NOISE!

Escalation in Euskirchen - On November 17 this year, ten bands brought atmosphere to the sleepy Städle near Cologne. From rock to punk to metal, these contributed a fat sound to the festival and thus rang the third round of the annual Escalate Festivals one. Such an event (in the immediate vicinity) we did not want to miss, of course. Quasi we could have hit there on foot preferred however, also due to the quite cool weather conditions, the few kilometers rather by the car to drive. Already with our, quite early arrival, some visitors stood before the doors of the Escalates and waited for the entrance. The still very young festival changed this year from the Old casino into the Euskirchen City Forum. The fact that the location is

A whole lot of passion, heart and soul, a certain amount of suffering and the unconditional will to give the "underground" a platform. All this and certainly a lot more is embodied by the organizer Martin Otte and his crew and these are exactly the ingredients that distinguish a festival from a really good festival. But now let's get to the day itself!
Just through the door of the Escalates we were welcomed by the crew in a very friendly way and already during the first sound check you could feel the special atmosphere of the festival which, as it was to turn out later, almost resembles a private concert glich. In the center of the room the stage, in the openly accessible side room the merchandise stand and with a bar directly in the hall filled the Escalate already at the beginning all the requirements for a successful evening... were missing only the bands which however

Fall hard - Keep Off The Grass knows exactly how to get the audience to join in. True to their motto "Don't wait, make music", the four guys around frontwoman Nadine play the finest hard rock and shone at Escalate with a stamina that was contagious. The masses sang along loudly and we were also really taken by so much potential that words are not enough, but we recommend you to see the band live. We will definitely keep watching Keep Off The Grass and look forward to seeing them again soon! In the middle of the festival action, told Martin of a raffle that was to take place in the evening. Tickets, merchandise and other things should find a new owner. Of course, we also bought one, two, three tickets and even won something..... what it was, you'll find out later 😉 While the sun slowly behind

and what would a Frivoles Burgfräulein concert be without a bit of chaos? True to this tradition, the guys punctuated their performance with the use of a confetti cannon as well as a misappropriated leaf blower, which was used as a "toilet paper unrolling device", and made sure that the Escalate Crew definitely didn't get bored afterwards. A spectacle with an incredible sound background! - My Immortals, definitely check them out. Between each concert break we chatted with a few audience members, drank and laughed together. Everyone we talked to was really excited about what the Escalate crew had put on and since we also had a lot of fun and would like to support Martin's commitment to "revitalize the underground in the region", we will introduce you to some of the bands that will be playing at Escalate in 2019 this year.
