okidok, this time we start
from the very beginning and from down under....- I mean Australia,
because that's the country from where this supportact is coming from.
Holy shit, I'm standing in the photopit and have the impression, the
Backstreet Boys are coming on stage in a minute. Honestly my eyes don't
discover not a single male in the first row. But I'm not sure, whether
these girlies squash themselves to jam for Doomfoxx or more than less
for the mainact The Darkness. :-)))
The australiens are here for the third time in Europe, and they should
start thinking about moving over here. Because I presume, their
popularity is a bit higher in Germany, than in their home country. Or am
I wrong?
Musically this band is loud, dirty and not quite as mad as their
collegues of Rose Tattoo including little Angry, who's aura stands for
the image of this group. This comparison is not fetched from to far away,
because Doomfoxx guitarist Mick Cocks is actually beside his job here,
also occupied with Rose Tattoo and the other way round. And so it
naturally feels and sounds somehow related.
Musically Doomfoxx rides the same direction, like their famous
statussymbol from the land of the aporigines. But, - and that's the
point, they are still not as wellknown, not quite so original and most
of all - still not a legend. But whatever ain't yet, it still can happen
one day - as we say so over here.
Most of
all - some kinda hymn
like 'Rock'n'Roll Outlaw' is missing yet, a song, which gets stuck in
our brains, which becomes a symbol for the group, where every fan is
waiting for at a show to sing along with. That's what they still need
for their final luck. - so right now each song goes along with the next
one in one row, hard rockin', straight through the eyes and down
and dirty... but with no click, which takes care, that the melody digs
itself into our memory. Got me? Combining this appearance here with the
usual disadvantages, a suppportslot usually is fighting with, I'm
talking about too less power and too less light, it doesn't really drive
us into ecstacy. Though in my opinion, I think, this band
would come so much better along, playing a headliner show in a smaller
club with a smaller crowd. Because they still rock very much...
Oh yes, before I forget, what's up to the girlies in the frontrow, who
are starring only in one direction, but not towards the two youngsters
in the band righthandside on stage, and also not focusing the frontman,
but much more looking at the, a bit older, but still youthful guitarist on the
left, who seems so much concentrated and not realizing, what's going on
in front of him... But somehow he seems to have an aura, that even George
Clooney degenerates to Godzilla. Just kiddin'
Over all, this here is a pretty decent gig with no heights and depths,
including it's earthy Rock'n'Roll, but there's still some little
anything missing, if you know what I mean, at least whats up to a show
in such a big venue and of course the music...
