Nothing wrong with that R Homer J Simpson star

I just want to note, I was listening to this band months before they were cool.

This album gets better and better. Nem, you better get some awesome pics of the show next week.

I love the male and female contrast. If only females from America could sing this style.

Picked up last week, third listen, wow, this is brilliant. Remids me a bit of Vanden Plas "Christ 0" which I love. Definitely one of the best albums I have heard this year.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #80 on:** August 10, 2012, 03:42:22 PM »

Listening to on Spotify and it's really good!
Finally this and Headspace, other prog bands that I can get into besides just Dream Theater

Bump to get a review of tonight's gig from Nem or ich bin...

:

guitarrero · « **Reply #88 on:** August 20, 2012, 03:05:12 AM »

I could do one as well, but i'm too busy at work right now and still to overwhelmed by the awesomeness we have witnessed yesterday! Was totally worth it, i can give away that info at least!

But Nem certainly will tell you guys extensively why!

Oh, and look who got interviewed by the lady herself: https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/404124_4422490841937_1439901854_n.jpg

lonestar · « **Reply #89 on:** August 20, 2012, 03:08:20 AM »

Actually just finished talking to her, sounded like an epic night. I'm very anxious to see all the interviews and pics.

I was so bitter that I couldn't be there for the gig that when I got home from work I bought Peter Gabriel tickets in a fit of rage. I felt much better afterwards.

ich bin besser · « **Reply #90 on:** August 20, 2012, 07:58:33 AM »

Well, let's see...

I met Nem.
I sweated.
I had fun.
Flaming Row ruled.
Beyond The Bridge were very good (despite some technical problems in the beginning). Funny encore (Can You Feel the Love Tonight?).

More later.

guitarrero · « **Reply #91 on:** August 20, 2012, 08:28:29 AM »

I didn't see/recognize you, dude!

But yeah, lots of fun indeed! Disney-Metaaaaal!!!

Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. Next time.

A very hot day in Germany. The gig was in the basement of a club right in the middle of Frankfurt, no air conditioning. One thing that was very obvious was the fun everyone had. And that immediately adds up to the atmosphere.
I'm a bit biased as I've seen Flaming Row 3 times already and love the album as well as their live performance. For me, it was hard to top their performance. 10 people on a small stage - that was quite a challenge (okay, BTB also had 7 band members on stage...). Recommendation: play in Rüsselsheim (Das Rind) next time. Everything is more relaxed there and the sound is better.

BTB had a difficult start due to some technical problems, so that they played the first song twice. Silly talking during the break.
Fine musicians. I always love a strong singer - and BTB has one!
The female singer, I prefer on CD. Live, she had this vibrato thing going on at nearly every ending line which kinda bothered me. And man, she could use some more pounds on her ribs...
Loved Christopher's playing!

Flaming Row - what can I say? To me, they are probably the best German live band at the moment. "Best", because they manage to deliver the complexity of their album in a very special way. Great musicians, but also with a funny vibe and great chemistry. You clearly see that they love what they are doing. 10 people, most of them delivering vocals - that's very entertaining to watch! Over only a few gigs, they managed to turn from silly to professional. Too bad they probably won't play abroad with this big line up. Flaming Row would definitely entertaining every prog audience!

Don't ask me about set lists. Don't remember that stuff.

FR played for about 1 hour, BTB for 1:10, I think.

Nem? What can I say? Very nice, enthusiastic girl! Only talked to her for a bit. She now loves Kiri from Flaming Row (which is not very hard, I might add) and seemed to enjoy German Hefeweizen as well.

There'll be pics to prove our meeting. Looking forward to what she's gonna say about the gig.
I'm a long-time concert goer and I had a great time. Flaming Row could make it much bigger, wouldn't there be so many band members, I fear. BTB also delivered, though I preferred the complexity of the Flaming Row stuff.

Questions?

No air conditioning? I don't know how you do it. No way I could deal with that

I don't say this often, but, fuck America*.

*By America I of course mean the poor musical tastes of the average American which makes it financially unfeasible for awesome bands to come to or properly tour America.

What RJ said (both times). Surprised you didn't smack your head on the stage with all that hair flipping, or had anyone shout "down in front already!".

Last time I'm gonna say it.

Jealous.

Plus, you owe us.
