| It's
thursday evening, still no weekend, which means, we all have to get up
early in the morning next day. On our Backstage areal there is emptyness,
exept within the smallest venue, the Club. Everything else is covered in
quiet darkness, and that's how it's gonna stay this evening. And over
all tonight's supportact has somehow and somewhere got lost, so the
Peacocks have to heat up the place themselves including aprox 100 freaks
of obvious Pettycoat and spotty t-shirts and behaved ponytails, as well
as the guys here in leather jackets and this hair style just as James
Dean. Yeah well, at least the Die Hard fans give themselves very cool
and sleaky. Whereby the Peacocks deny beeing a Rockabilly band. They
only use some of the structure as well as the punk. And the name their
style - so called Psychobilly, which is an explosive mixture of all this,
and this again for more than 20 years. The Peacocks come from Switzerland and consist currently of: Hasu Langhart (Voc/Git), Simon Langhard – (Contrabass) and Jürg Luder – (Drums). And they can look back on a huge backcatalogue of albums, EPs and Best of's. The latest release named 'After All' had been released last year, and the question is, whether this tour is still to promote this disc, or is this trip just for not to be forgotten within the scene? However, - but the timing is not the best, and the band does pretty hard, to get the rats out of their holes, if you know what I mean by that. But on the other hand, these boys up there on stage, don't give me the impression, as if they are worried about such things.
They are starting their
chamber concert a little later then supposed due to the support act
lack, and they don't care, as if there wasn't any tomorrow. But they
don't know Munich's audiance, which is physically here at this place,
but mentally still far away, that what it seems. And despite a lot of
space in front of the stage, everybody still prefers rather standing in
the back. Only a very few indiviudals including Marlon
Brando in spee and myself have found their way front stage.. Though in
my case it's rather due to the fact of finding the optimal focus for my
lense in the camera.
However,.....and first
during the last bit of the show, the Peacocks can manage to lift up the
generell mood and let the dolls dance in the truest sense of the word. -
Whereby it's got to be said, that the music of this band is everything
else than a sleeping pill. NO, this is punk at it's best and it truly
rocks. But what does it help, when people stand there like statues and
the energy of the soundwaves get lost somewhere into Nirvana, exept as
mentioned, the last 20 minutes. First at this point the snail leaves
it's house and dances a tschatschatscha.... |
