130

...why not actually friday the 13th? - So what? - that's why... To be different from the usual norm. And that's what Wednesday 13 are, at least what's up to the visual aspect. Though we already have got quite a few of this sort of, like Alice Cooper meets Marilyn Manson and Slipknot divided by Gorgoroth etc. Out of a photographer's view it's great and colourful thanks to bride make up and an artistic hairdressing. Musically these four figures taken out of the Adams monster family rather go for simple structured punkrock with flowing melodies easy to remember for. 

And Wednesday 13 are actually related somehow with the Slipknot Family. It was Slipknots drummer Joey Jordison, who founded his sideproject 'Murderdolls', who's singer Wednesday 13 who named himself after a figure out of the TV series Adams Family,  got himself another band again, named after himself. There is no need to mention, that Wednesday is a huge Horror Genre fan, because of his look and stylistic including posh paleness and  hopelessly knoted dreadlocks. Don't copy it, if you like your own hair and wanna keep it for a long time..


But no surprise at all, as all those 250 fans here like this underworld fashion line, shown up there on stage by their heroes. And people like me in pretty normal street clothes are the exotic looking one's, not the other way round. 
But whoever would have thought, because of the look he will receive a sort of gothic dark sound, is wrong. No dark wave music accompanied by a grave voice in the middle of  a foggy dizzy light. But there we've got very big lights and the amps whip the tunes through the air into the room, torturing our hearing senses with it's hard punkbeat. And I have to admit, yep these boys got some  potential. At least, they are offering us sing along songs easy to remember, like I mentioned before. And this here is no undefined noise polution like some other bands practice, who like this look as well. So now we know, look has nothing got to do with the music, - sometimes. Okay okay, Wednesday 13 wanna transfer an bad horror image, but they don't really, do they?!
'I Walked With A Zombie' is a piece, which got already some kind of hitstatus in fan circles, and everybody in here is singing with the band. And our Alice Cooper meets Twisted Sister tenor asks his admirers  for countless fucks to push  the average revolution against the posh society. 200 middle fingers are up in the air and do what the boss tells 'em. The thing is on the other side, this song is ment to be a sentimental lovesong  really... however you can combine sentimental with punkrock......


 

To describe the whole impression of Wednesday 13  in short words... Those americans have the talent to do go their way. They only still miss out on a bit experience and a bit more power in the ass. Because sometimes songs tend to loose their energy after a while, although they started out like an explosion. But the foundation is certainly there . And I'm pretty sure, next time the world and the whole situation live on stage look a bit different. 
PS: hope there will be a next time. You never know in this fastliving music world nowadays.....
