We have had the Schlob Grabben Fest (Castle Moat Festival) on this last weekend past. It was really good with a huge array of over 60 acts on 4 sound stages over 4 days. Last year the fest attracted over 280,000 people and this year they are saying that the number is significantly more. They had all styles of music from grunge, hip hop, blues, soul and rock to rap and house.
My friends from the English Club Frank, Nicole, David and Lynne as well as Bettina and Thomas all came down town on the Saturday night. As it was Frank’s birthday we had an extra cause to celebrate and began the evening with a meal at Cafe Chaos. Towards the end of the evening we headed down to one of the local Irish pubs for some Guiness, Beamish and a Talisker malt whisky to round off the night. We returned home about 3 in the morning but all in all it was a really good night out.
They have something in the order of 3 or 4 more free festivals happening over the next couple of months. One of them is being headlined by The Cure, Lenny Kravitz and Santana. In 2 weeks time have Rose Tattoo are playing up the road in Neu Isenberg. They have just finished a new album in Frankfurt and are touring for the first time in 20 years. Unbelievable hey!! I can’t believe that Angry even has a voice left to scream with let alone that he is playing just up the road from here. I suspect that John Meyer who helped to write and play guitar on Under The Southern Cross was fairly influential here as he spent several years in Berlin working the underground there after the Tatts disbanded.
