I still feel kind of wasted after a pretty long night filled with concerts and a good amount of electronic music (dnb & minimal)... it was time for the
Strike Mech Fest 2008 organized by our crazy dude Sascha from
Quadrotonn.
Quadrotonn on stage .. seen many times before here .. nevertheless every time again cool to see & shoot them.
Probably my favorite picture in this entry. Ralf was on vacation in Norway for week and straight came to play the show before even getting home.
A very special and real surprising belated birthday present for me.
Before Quadrotonn and Deaf Avenger were formed Ralf, Manu, Johnny,Sascha and Jake (as guest singer) had a band called El Chupacabre that split up like 4 years ago. Yesterday they played again together a set of 3 songs and hell yeah, they still know how to rock.
Just for comparison ....
some really old stuff when we all were still teens and I shoot at there rehearsal room ... all shoot with an Canon Ixus v2 (2megapixel) ...
Still one of my absolute favorite pictures. A pity it only exists as 1200x1600px jpeg file :(
great to have friends like them for so many years already!

alright back to the 2008 ;)
Johnny's look expresses what many of us thought regarding the next band called
"Placenta" ... I have seen a shit load of bands within the last several years but these guys could need a cweek'sche f-bomb. Fucking wannabe superstar behavior.....
...
cheeeeze
checking the guest lists .. the venue was full and in the end all beer was empty .. don't know how long the party lasted but I left 5 o'clock in the morning.
Well, vacation is over again and university starts again.
Hope you had a good weekend.
cheers
