Even bigger thanks to the KRACH AM BACH organizers for open taping and free tickets including free catering+millions of water (ok some beers, too) Huge thanks to THE MACHINE for artistic freedom and allowing to tape/spread. Dank ye well, David, Davey and Sander!!!! A few notes on KRACH AM BACH: Attendence: app. 3000+ people Admission: 3-day ticket (very limited) was 65 Euro in advance, 2-day (friday+satuday) was 45. Sold out festival. Security: extremely mellow and easy. Very nice! Thanks! Catering: various food booths with moderate price from vegan to meaty. Tasty! Three booths with liquids at sensational cheap prices (a 0.3 Veltins beer for 2.50 Euro, Water/Softdrinks each 1 Euro only!), a Cocktail bar, Coffee-Bike ect. Toilets ect: A lots of porta-loos, very clean, fresh drinking water for free, water for cleaning (it was very dusty). Special: When the fountains were almost dryed out, a one liter bottle of cooled water was given for 1 Euro return money. Water itself was free, but the crowd was also asked to donate the return. Weather: Ongoing heatperiod over Europe. Temperatures on friday and saturday afternoon beyond 35+C. No wind on friday, a bit better on saturday. Personal thanks from Spacebandit: My dear friends - the chiefs - Klaus and Christian and all the other totally relaxed festival staff and helpers. The guys at the Soundboards: very cooperative, no problems with plug-ins, power supply ect. The Bands: All very amazed about the easy-going atmosphere. I had a lot of great talks with many of them - some are my favourites. Our Backstage-Camp-Crew of dear Marco, Natalie and Peter. Very funny "intellectual" talks. My dear partner-in-crime: Rackhir. Danke schön, war mal wieder toll mit Dir! --- Ok alrighty fellow lovers of the fine music, here's an appetizer of many shows to come from this festival, in different modifications of sound. For understandable reasons it is not possible to post all the soundboard recordings/or as matrixes here. We have to respect the artists. Also: We did not get a board patch on the main stage as that was recorded on a professional mixing board. So there's "only" audience recordings from the main stage so far. We'll see what might come up sooner or later. On this special evening - the extra day in honour of the 25th anniversary - I was frenzied to meet my dear friends of THE MACHINE (one of my absolute fave bands) again. Since I've saw them the last time (an ear-shattering performance in Münster last November) - dear Hans decided to retire from the band for private reasons. Sad, he was/is a very nice guy. To my amazement, David and Davey asked Sander from deceased (in a true but also sad way) band SUNGRAZER to join in on a permanent base. So - this was my first show with THE MACHINE, who first time blew me away at PNF Festival in 2010 - with the new lineup. Did I say it was good? Naw, it was awesome. LOts of new songs from the "FACE SHIFT" album, a Nivana-Cover, a SUNGRAZER song and the meltdown with KNEITER. And I think after this hour+ show...everybody needed a breather. Great show, heavy psyched as usual. Enjoy! SB. --- www.themachineweb.com bandcamp/facebook or other sites...
