Tonight it is pretty obvious, that more sleazerock fans are here to check out the supportact 'Crash Diet' rather than die Headliner Hardcore Superstar, who are here in Munich for the fourth time so far. But the others are celebrating their debut here. 
Not easy to guess, how many people are squeezed in here in this club, but I presume it's about 300 soul - a few more or less. 
I always asked myself, why it's been exspecially in Sweden, where this new scene of Glamrock had developed a few years ago, and what the reason was. This is a scene, if we didn't know it better, could be easily come straight from L.A.
At half past nine, Crash Diet step on the catwalk from the 59:1 club for the very first time presenting us their individuel style whats up to trendsetting, makeup and of course music. And right this moment I feel transfered back into 1984, when Mötley Crüe played for the first time in Europe at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Nuremberg. I stood there with big eyes, almost not believing what I saw. Because something like that wasn't known to that point, apart from the founder of this look - T-Rex and Gary Glitter in the early seventies - who have created this look and style. Glamrock reached it's peak in middle of the eighties with bands like Cinderella, Slaughter and Poison or Britny Fox, just to name a few. In the early nineties and bands like Nirvana all ended suddenly. For a long time it was pretty quiet around those bands, who, some of them, have never really quit, but existed only in the underground. Until this new wave of paradise birds came out from the scandinavian countries, bands like Hellacopters, Backyard Babies,  and our both groups here tonight - Hardcore Superstar and Crash Diets, who's members are all younger than 30.  

The fact, that not everything is gold that glitters, exspecially Crash Diet had to discover soon, when their singer and frontman Dave Lepard commited suicide, just aged 25. They took a while, but now found a suitable replacement with a guy named Oliver Twisted, who now is trying to do his best to fill in for the original guy.  He does look good, and does go down well exspecially at the female fans in the audiance. He's got a great aura and he moves like David Lee Roth in his best days. And the metal bold of the limelights is pretty usefull for his lively action as you can see on the pic below. 

Musically, Crash Diet present us songs from their yet two albmus  ‚Rest In Sleaze’ (2005)  and ‚Unattractive Revolution’, which just came out about 6 weeks ago.
The glitter revue lasts about 40 minutes without encore.But the impression those Rock'n'roll male models do leave behind is not the worst.....
Well done boys....

Hardcore Superstar do show even more routine compared to the first band. 

You can realize immidiately, that their art has longer roots into the past. They are for quite a while in the business now. And I must admit, there ain't many artists beeing so active on stage, like this lot here, exspecially what's up to frontman Jocke. Speedy Gonzales is peanuts compared to this ride throughout Death Valley. Because that's what the temperature does feel like right now. Speedy is moving faster and faster without a single second rest, and I do actually hard to catch him with my camera lense. Christ.....!!!! This bunch of bees in his bum have called for revolution against the push of adrenalin. And his jeans are slipping slowly down.... yeeeeessss... come on, come on... - no it doesn't quite slip down for good. What a shame :-))))

Somethin does hold his trousers up, whatever it is... What a pity. But on the other hand as we say so.... the challenge always lies in the expectation and imagination not so much in the fullfilled facts. Okay, that's only mentioned from a women's point of view. :-)))

Hardcore Superstars music and performance are great. And I honestly wished, this band would get the amount of attention, they deserve. They don't look oldfashion or out of trend, no actually with all their action and hardrockin' music they let other bands do look pretty old. Everything is just fine and right here. It's the music, the tenor, the movement, whereby some olympic athlets would get jealous, if they saw Jocke moving around. 
In the end, Jocke even asks new singer Oli from Crash Diet on stage to sing with him along. Yes it gets well down at the audiance. 
And what's up to Glam, Sleaze, or what the hell for Rock'n'Roll make up ... don't give a damn.... Coco Chanel is as good as Yves Saint Laurent.... It's all just a question of 
Presentation and promotion. - And at least the presentation is just brilliant....
