[Concert Review] Warpaint @ Freiheiz 2012

Munich, Germany. In the big festival summer time, concerts in town are getting rare. Especially, the good ones. One of the magic live gig nights was on Thursday, 19th July. Four friendly shy American girls appeared on the stage. Warpaint makes the tepid summer evening to a evening DAT which all other attenders won't forget. But what was that amazing? In my eyes, drummer Stella Mozgawa did an remarkable job. Also, the guitar players Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman who take over the main part of singing, have enchanting voices. Last but not least, Jenny Lee Lindberg - the bass player - was unfortunately handicapped and had to seat the whole evening on the stage. However, this case doesn't influence her bass play. In Summary, a goose bumps atmosphere and a memorable concert evening.

Check out the whole album "The Fool" below. So, you can feel a bit of this atmosphere Warpaint build up in the venue.

[Concert Review] Soko @ Ampere 2012

Soko - Just Want To Make It New With You

Munich, Germany. I'd always wanted to see Soko onces live for - I don't know - five years. On 1st April, the dream came true. Although, it nearly crashed, because I didn't buy a ticket in the pre-sale period. But happily just when I gave up, someone offered me a ticket. Thank you again, to this magnificent person, wherever you be now. Cause, this was the most hilarious terrific funniest and also - when she played her first few depressiv songs - saddiest concert I've ever attended.

But let's start from the beginning. First of all, the evening starts with two openers. The first one was a surprise. Cause, Soko herself announced her brother Max who played four gorgeous indie folk songs on guitar - in part supported by his sister. Perhaps he was a little bit shy. I don't know. The vocals could have been more louder and clearer. But the arrangements (piano, drums, violin, background singers) fitted pretty good. Especially, when Gillian Maguire accompanies on the violin.

Some words to audience. In my opinion, it was a difficult one to play in front of. Most of the crowd didn't stop talking when the first opener played. And, also, sadly, when the second one started to try to give his best. Even, when he tried to ask for more silence. In this case, shame on Munich attendants. I can't understand you.

Latter, the New Yorker boy Luke Rathborne, played really great. He has a really good voice and nice skills on guitar and keyboard. You can convince yourself below. There I have some samples for you.

Please, also, check out the rest on bandcamp.com and support him by buying his album "After Dark".

But now, finally, some last words to the appearance of Soko. First of all, the whole audience stopped speaking, when she suddenly shows up on stage with enchanting string/bass/keyboard-player Gillian Maguire, drums/guitar-player Luke Rathborne, and, also guitar/bass/keyboard-player Max. And she started with some sad tracks and everybody just listened and got bewitched by her lyrics and cute voice. Later, she started to tell some really funny stories. Like what's the track "Why Don't You Eat Me Now You Can" about. She was saying it's not about sex. But it is about meat which she saw it in the record studio and she wanted to eat, because she were that much hungry. Although, she is a vegan. Anyway, there were also some other hilarious things that happened. We had a bunch of zombies on the gallery,  some dancing aliens in front of the stage, dance competition, two girls who had or will have birthday on the stage, and, last but not least, Soko used the audience as background singers and instruments.

In conclusion, it was a wonderful evening we all had together. Thank you for it, Soko, Max, Gillian, Luke! Hope see you soon!

Really last words! There is an album out. It's called "I Thought I Was An Alien". You can stream it below and also buy it on the top. You should buy it!

[Concert Review + Interview] Parov Stelar @ Zakk 2012

Düsseldorf, Germany. On 7th March, right before the venue - called Zakk - there was a long queue and some people were asking for tickets. The reason is, the concert of Parov Stelar this evening and all others are totally sold out. The Austrian electronic jazz musician with his band has rightly a really good reputation. The audience were dancing hilariously. The band members cheer up each other and their audience. The venue was full of beats and sax and trumpet sounds. Also, the singer and her incredible voice make the evening for everybody memorable. Probably the pictures above can show you that.

Keep reading

Cause, I talked to Marcus Füreder aka Mr. Parov Stelar himself. Below, you could read the whole interview. We talked about his tour, the audience, vinyl vs. download, and many more. Enjoy it! And pre-order his now album "Princess" which is coming out on 20th April!

Parov Stelar - Jimmy´s Gang (Official Video) from Etage Noir Recordings on Vimeo.

DukeAlbert's Tour:

"Hi Marcus, first of all, thank you for having me here right before your performance in Düsseldorf."

:Marcus Füreder

"Very Gladly!"

DAT:

"In the moment, you're visiting a bunch of cities with your PRINCESS TOUR. It's rather big one, isn't it?"

:Marcus

"No, the bottom line is, it's actually a smaller one. Two years ago, for example, the Coco Tour was bigger with 28 gigs in 32 days. But, technically, we are touring the whole year."

DAT:

"I see. So, since 2000 you've making music and since 2004 you've been playing as Parov Stelar. In the case, if somebody is asking you which kind of music you make, what would be your respond?"

:Marcus

"Well, it's always difficult to put your own music in scheme. That's normally the task of journalists. And, they name it in most instances Electro Swing. With this description I'm not totally happy. Of course, there is a little bit of it in my music. But - just when you hear the old and the new stuff - there are much more genres which would also describe my music. Personally, it would be boring for me to put it only in this same scheme. I think, it's rather manifold. And, i would say, my music is based on samples. These samples are often of tracks which are simply older. So, you could say it's a touch of retro in combination with modern music."

DAT:

"My impression is, that you have enthused a lot of people for this kind of music, in your eight years of Parov Stelar. Today, you're a kind of institution. How does it feel to you?"

:Marcus

"Personally, I'm very happy with it. And, for me it's also a kind of honor. Cause, I can feel it, too. It's similar to the days, when I started to fall in love with Jazz. In these early days, I'd always thought this music is only for elitist people. I didn't understand it until I'd found out that it's much more. You can combine it with other genres. And that makes me very lucky."

DAT:

"This acceptance is reflected in your ticket sale. Düsseldorf and Munich, for example, are completely sold out."

:Marcus

"Yes. And not only these concerts. I think, the whole tour is sold out, too."

DAT:

"So, this is your acknowledgement, right?"

:Marcus

"Yes, that's right."

DAT:

"On the one hand, you're also touring with a Dj-set. And on the other hand, you're performing with a five-headed band. What does excite you more?"

:Marcus

"I believe, you can't compare these situations directly. Cause, the Dj-set isn't a classical one. I'm playing in a trio of a sax, a trumpet and me at the electronics. And the band is more magnificent, you know. Festivals, bigger stages, but also smaller clubs etc. The Trio, instead, could better build up a familiar atmosphere. It's more hypnotic and you are getting more a feeling of clubbing. But I can't tell you which one makes more fun. Cause, both are so different."

DAT:

"What are these differences?"

:Marcus

"It starts with the set up. The Dj-set doesn't only contain songs of mine and, mainly, I'm in the centre of attention. Whereas, I avoid consciously to be in the centre of attention when the band si playing."

DAT:

"In Middle Europe you are known all over the mainland. Which goals do you follow for the future? For example, keyword: America."

:Marcus

"Well, America is its own issue. With 'Booty Swing' we have a #2 in the electronic charts there and the Americans totally go nuts with it. But I'm very patient and careful before we start with a big U.S. tour. Cause, I just want to do it when I feel comfortable with it. So, Europe and UK are completely sufficient until autumn. I don't need a hype, but a constant growth. However, a U.S. tour is planned for autumn."

DAT:

"So, you don't like to be hyped like Foster The People who has been exploding in their awareness level since their appearance."

:Marcus

"Yes, cause, I don't believe in such things and I'm also afraid of it. I think, first of all, you should build up a fundament like our supporters. From day to day, they grow in a constant speed. But I don't want to build up the fan community on a hype."

DAT:

"Do you have a model? Someone who you still look up to."

:Marcus

"With models I've always had difficulties. There are a lot of artists which I respect in what they're doing. And I like a lot of the french method. For example, the french artist 'Air' was a good one and, of course, I like a lot the early days tunes of 'Daft Punk'. But there are much more artists and music styles I like. And I try to transport this also over my own music."

DAT:

"What do you think about analog vs. digital? Vinyl vs. notebook? I noticed your notebook on the stage."

:Marcus

"It depends on which perspective you have. First, the context of working looks like that. I'm professional dj. That is, I travel all over the world. Therefor, I'm everyday on another place. And I have to carry cases. I think, for me, the times are over for vinyls. Of course, there are always some freaks who are only mixing with LPs. But in my opinion, you can provide your visitors a better quality when you play digital. For example, you have no feedbacks, no record will be stolen at the airport, no turntable pick-up will be dirty, etc.

Second, I could see a movement. Vinyl is becoming another significance in the context of collecting records. People say, I want to have a material release. And that's why a download would be not enough."

DAT:

"At the beginning we talked about your PRINCESS TOUR. In this tour you traveling from Scotland to Greece. And you've already seen a lot of your audiences. Which audience is the best?"

:Marcus

"I believe, we could be really happy with our audience overall. It isn't like in the Coca-Cola commercial where you get a blindfold and you have to differentiate between Pepsi and Coca. That's not possible with our supporters. And, I couldn't notice a difference. They're cheering everywhere in the same volume. I'm very lucky about it."

DAT:

"Short question about your new album 'PRINCESS'. What did change to the forerunners?"

:Marcus

"Generally, this have to decided by the people. Cause, you're totally stick in the middle of the progress - if so, three years - that you can't barely differ it. I know something changed, but the style didn't. What is, for me, really important."

DAT:

"Do you have any favorite track?"

:Marcus

"Well, you could compare it with having children. You couldn't really say which one do you like more. I think, it's difficult to exclude a track now. First, you have to get more distance and listen to it in another context before you could answer this question."

DAT:

"Yes, I could totally comprehend it. Cause, as artist, you put always emotions and feelings in your songs."

:Marcus

"That's right."

DAT:

"Ok, Marcus. This is the end. Thank you for the interview."

:Marcus

"Your welcome!"

DAT:

"Have good time on the stage and on the rest of your tour."

[Concert Review] M83 @ Theaterfabrik 2012

Porcelain Raft - Unless You Speak From Your Heart

Munich, Germany. First of all, DAT has to introduce the opener for M83 on 5th March. It's Mauron Remiddi - a Italian musician who creates his songs in New York in the moment - or better known as Porcelain Raft. He was a dignified opener with his pretty great beats and synths. I met also people who were just coming for Porcelain Raft. After his performance I know why.

M83 - Intro

But now we get our attention to one of my favorite artist of last year. The main act M83 started with a some kind of alien and one of my favorite songs "Intro" of the second album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming". Live the synths and the voice had so much more power. You could yourself totally let go with these kind of music. Also you could see it how the band members reacted. For example the bassist rocked the stage by dancing totally wild. The sound in the venue was, by the way, brilliant and the visitors seemed to be satisfied by the performances of the evening. For my own, I was entirely impressed. Good show. Thanks M83. You can come again!

Oh, I totally forgot a little embarracing anecdote. The drummer had Birthday on 5th March and Anthony - the head and maker of M83 - asked the concertgoer if they would like to sing for his drummer Happy Birthday in German. Well, perhaps, the were only foreign visitors or nobody couldn't sing. Anyway, the result was a awkward silence. So, let this be a lesson to you. Be prepared for such situations.

[Concert Review] Justice @ Zenith 2012

Justice - Audio, Video, Disco (via Music Ninja)

Munich, Germany. On 24th February, hundreds of people were on their ways to Zenith - a huge venue outside of the city near the football stadium. Everybody was in good mood and looking forward to Justice's appearance. Right in front of the entrance, there was a big queue and security men let the young people step by step in the building. The suspension was rising. Inside, already over 1,500 people waited for the show and were got warm up by two Djs. At about 10 p.m., the lights got brighter and you could hear the beats of "Genesis". The show began!

Justice had a good set up of songs and switched between their albums - "Cross" and "Audio Video Disco" continuously. The sound was pretty nice in the venue and the mood of the - now over 2,500 - people were very good. Especially, the light show was amazing. So, the concert was a fully success in every view. Thank you, Justice, for this terrific experience!

[Concert Review] Simeon Soul Charger @ Tabakfabrik 2011

Passau, Germany. It is now a week ago and the concert of Simeon Soul Charger still throws a shadow over my mind. Cause, I think at Saturday night 10th December I've seen one of the best gigs, probably, in my life. My soul is now fully charged I would say. The Ohio band with lead singer Aaron Brooks incredible voice make a amazing sound. I take no stock in comparing a band with one which is much more famous. But I'd say this band goes in a row with Queens Of The Stone Age. Plus - except of the amazing sound they make - the venue was brilliant for the cause. The dark flat room filled with about 250 people fitted perfectly to the band. Thank a lot for this awesome evening!

PS: I think - my lovely Americans - you must be really jealous that we Bavarians have - besides tastefully delicious beer - Simeon Soul Charger here with us. Just kidding!

[Concert Review] DJ Hell @ Suite15 2011

DJ Hell - U Can Dance (ft. Bryan Ferry) no download

Regensburg, Germany. DJ Hell call for big electro party at a amazing abbey basement vault venue on 9th November. And a huge crowd followed him. So, you can imaging this was a terrific party. But first of all, they're got warm up by pretty good DJs - Patricia and Audiovirus. Well, probably I should say the warm up DJs weren't just heating up the visitors. They're already bring them to a boil. So, DJ Hell had just to do what he can - making a very nice set. For my self, my expectations were probably to high. Cause I awaited something curious. However, he work pretty concentrated and took the gig very serious. A real professional! Thanks DJ Hell for this amazing Friday.

Oh, I almost forgot the wonderful visuals over the bar and at the walls. I think visuals can lift a party to a new level.

[Concert Review] The Kills @ Tonhalle 2011

The Kills - Future Starts Slow (Live)  no download

Munich, Germany. It's Tuesday night on 29th November at Tonhalle. Time for another show! At about 9 p.m. the indie rockers Alice Mosshart and Jamie Hince - also known as The Kills - are stepping on the stage. Jamie got his guitar whining and started the drum machine, while Katie grabed for a mic. In the background appeared four angry looking mens with drum sticks - a friends' opinion: 'there were pretty cool.' Black leather jackets and red shawl over the mouth like western bandits - and each one stepped behind two percussions. So, that they winged the Kills. The crowd - about 1000 people - freak out when the band started playing.

The Kills were awesome! They played of course new stuff out of the new album "Blood Pressure" and many more. But when they played the first chords of "Cheap and Cheerful", the crowd - in my opinion - seemed to wake up and get wild. Before that they only swayed back and forth or a danced a little bit. Well, there is nothing bad about that. But I've seen a lot of gigs and there is more fun when the crowd is more with the band, in the way of jumping, waving their hands, just moving more.

Also, I have to say, that the sound in the venue wasn't the best. I had to stand a the left side and when stepped more and more to center of the venue, the sound got with each meter better. So, I also were a little bit disappointed.

Summary: I loved to see the Kills. But I wished I had seen them at a smaller venue with less people. So, I missed the WOW-effect - like: WOW, that concert was brilliant. The 30 Euros were it totally worthy. - after the concert was over. But that wasn't the fault of the Kills. There were awesome. Katie and Jamie played with a lot of passion. Thank you, guys!

[Interview + Concert Review] FM Belfast @ Feierwerk 2011

Munich, Germany. It's Monday evening on 28th November and I'd been looking forward to see the incredible amazing party band from Iceland, FM BELFAST. But this time it wasn't just about seeing them going wild on the stage. NO! Also I had the big pleasure to meet lovely Lóa and Árni backstage and ask them a few questions. So, before I start with the concert review, here is the interview.

DukeAlbert

"Hi, Árni & Lóa! It's a pleasure to meet you! How you doing?"

Árni

"Very well! We had just a great dinner here. And we had just a short drive today. So,  it's a luxury day."

DA

"Did you have a chance to do a little sightseeing in Munich, today?" 

Árni

"Actually,  we stayed in the car a lot, cause we had  to go to a few interviews. So, we drove like between radio stations."

Lóa

"We went to the christmas market, last year. "

DA

"So, you were already here in Munich?"

Árni

"Yeah!  We were here on On3-Festival. Last year or...?"

Lóa

"No, two years ago."

Árni

"I especially like the electronic components neighbourhood. It's... I don't know how it's called. They have great stores."

DA

"You've already played a lot of shows. Are you still excited before going on the stage?"

Árni

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Always, there is  a little stomachache. And it always goes away on the stage.  But just before we are a little bit nervous. Especially, when it's sold out like tonight. Cause people are expecting something. And I like it more, when people don't expect anything. (Lóa: Yes!) And we can just surprise people, maybe."

Lóa

"Stress is really sneaky. Cause sometimes it just attacks you. And you don't know... why."

Árni

"Yeah! You don't think you're stressed. But you're really tired. And than you realise, you have to do..."

DA

"You have to do a great gig?"

Lóa (giggling)

"Yeah!"

DA

"So, have you any rituals?"

Árni

"Yes! Sometimes we try to run around a little bit. Just ..."

DA

"Like jogging?"

Árni

"Yes. We run back and forth a little bit."

Lóa

"And we give a sports five! (everyone's laughing) ... And than we have like a ... where we put our hands together..."

Árni

"Everyone comes together and  talks a little bit."

Lóa

"Do a little speech." 

Árni

"It's very important."

DA

"Frankly speaking, I'd discovered FM Belfast just this year, when I saw a gig of you at Melt Festival on TV. And another live video - called "Underwear" - of the movie backyard. And everytime I see those videos, I'm wondering: 'WOW! Where take you this energy and joy from?' Can you explain me that?"

Árni

"We watch a lot television late before the concert to save the energy. We also have fun during the day. But we try to relax a little. Cause just when you have enough energy, you can divide it into different portions.

Lóa

"If you get excited during the day, you'd be tired at the evening."

Árni

"But it's like... on stage, we have to enjoy it to be able to do it like that.  Until now, we always enjoyed it."

Lóa

"It would be really hard without enjoying it."

Árni

"And I think, people wouldn't enjoy it watching other people doing something they don't enjoy."

Lóa

"Also there are not the same people you meet every night.  Sometimes you have really happy people in front of you ."

Árni

"And also, I think, people deserve the best show we can make. Not just on big festival. Also every night. Even there are a few people."

Lóa

"It's not their fault, when there a just a few people. Cause it's not like they forbid the others to come."

Árni

"And usually, when we feel like it's, maybe, gonna be a little bit difficult. We just decide to turn more inwards. So, we face each other a little bit more. So, we make us each other dance. And than always people start dancing when we enjoy it."

Lóa

"When we started to play in front of people. We had decided for us - after a really disaster show in front of very few people - either it has to be entertaining for us or we just quit. Cause it was very difficult. And afterwards gigs started to become funny to me. Like once, when we were playing in front of a... we were playing at this office party - where everybody was costumed - and we played next to the toilet. No one really listened, and were just going on the toilet, and everybody getting really drunk. So,  we make... for a few people who are actually paying attention... we make like a dance competition circle. It was a weird evening. But it was really fun."

Árni

"That gig paid for the production of our first album."

DA

"So, so that's the reason why it's called 'How To Make Friends'?"

Lóa & Árni (laughing)

"YES!"

DA

"After five years FM Belfast... Do you feel famous?"

Lóa & Árni

"No."

Árni

"No, not really. Cause we travel a lot. We play just a little bit in each area. So, we never become really big. You know, just a little bit here and there.

DA

"But what have chanced for you since the beginning of your career? Is there something that bother you or is there something that you love?"

While Árni is thinking about the question, Lóa grinned

"I have an iPod."

Now all laughing, Árni

"Well, that make a lot things easier."

Lóa

"First, we hadn't anything to do. But I like watching trees..."

Árni

"It use to be more excited to go... like to a new city. But now, it's chanced a tiny bit less. It's more common. But still, if you see something beautiful, it's the same."

DA

"Do you have time to see beautiful things?"

Árni

"Ah, we have very little time, usually. First, we didn't such a strict tour. But now, it's four gigs in a row, one day off, four gigs in a row,... you know."

Lóa

"Well, yesterday, we stayed in Altmünster (somewhere in Austria). And there is nothing much to see there. But before, we went to christmas market in Augsburg (Germany). It was really nice. And I spend to much moeny on the christmas decorations. (laughing) I don't know what happened. But they look good." 

DA

"What are your influences?"

Árni

"For me, it's just everything that I listened to in childhood."

DA

"Something special?"

Árni

"Like 'Rage Against The Machine' and also electronic stuff like 'Underworld'. Also, drum'n'bass stuff."

Lóa

"Everything they played on school disco. I liked that."

Árni

"And hardcore dance music."

Lóa

"Now, I usually listen more to singer/songwriter."

DA

"My favorite song of FM Belfast is 'Underwear'. Especially, when you - Lóa - sing in the background 'Oh my Lord!'. And I want to know: Why you're running in underwear?"

Árni

"Cause there is nothing else to do in your boring city. But it's not just about our city. You could be bored anywhere, even in New York.

Lóa

"And especially, when you don't have a driver license, you live in the suburb, and the last bus stop going on 11.30 at night and than you got stuck. Than it's like, maybe, one new movie for the month. You get just really bored."

Árni

"Earlier days, we had just one TV channel. There were two! But only rich people had two."

DA

"That sounds boring to me!"

Árni

"You know Teletext? I read the whole thing."

everbody laughs

DA

"What is your personal favorite song of FM Belfast?"

Lóa

"Favorite one to play is now 'Vertigo', I think for me."

Árni

"I think 'Believe' for me now."

DA

"So, last but not least. Let's talk a little bit about your new album 'Don't want to sleep'. What are the main differences between 'How To Make Friends' and the new one?

Lóa

"Well, I just think the making of it was different, because it was really...  cause people ask you a lot if it's stressful to make an album number two. Some journalists decide that - number two is always compared. So, the main difference in my opinion is: it's more stressful, even if it's the same process.
Borko slides in for cup of coffee
"I think people have also certain expectations when you producing a second album. Even more when they liked the first album."
Árni
"I think it's a bit faster and it's little bit - like Borko says - a natural progression."

DA

"Well, thank you a lot for having me here. Have good time tonight and on the rest of the tour. Thank your very much!"

That's it! I hope you enjoyed reading as I did listen to Lóa, Árni and Borko. Before we going on to the concert review. I want to send some special thanks to label Morr Music - especially Flow - for giving me this opportunity. Also thanks to Sigi - Happy Birthday for Monday, SIGI! And of course again: Thanks FM Belfast!
So, but you get now some ear treatment. Enjoying the song "Vertigo" of the new album "Don't want to sleep".

FM Belfast - Underwear (Live) no download

In this section I tell you something a little bit about the brilliant concert. First of all, it was SOLD OUT! I think about 500 people waited impatient for the powerful Icelanders. Singer Árni lighted up the crowd in surprisingly good German. And after the first song you noticed immediately the raised temperature in the venue. The crowd bend altogether their knees, jumped, freaked out and sang along. And at the end of course they run! But not in underwear, except of FM Belfast themselves. Finally it was a amazing gig! I liked a lot!

Sentence of the day by Árni: "Is it really Monday, today? You rock like Friday!"

Besides, sorry, for the bad pictures above. Jumping and taking pictures with mobile phone isn't that easy.

If you liked what you read, heard, and saw. Here some details:

[Concert Review] Digitalism @ Muffathalle 2011

Digitalism - Anything New (Live) no download

Munich, Germany. The Thursday on 10th November was pretty cold and a lot of people streamed into Muffathalle countpart to Deutsches Museum. After a few beers or soft drinks, some small talk, and an interesting opener Digitalism appeared on the stage in order to start a stunning show. I mean, I bought the tickets about 3 weeks before the show and I already knew that this gig of Hamburg's electronic duo will be awesome. So, I took my old digi cam with me in order to take some "bad" photos (above). So, don't judge. Cause I was totally excited and jumped and screamed around like the other about 800 to 1000 boys and girls.

Digitalism rocked the crowd with their light show, their amazing beats from electronic hard ones - like "Antibiotics"- to more pop soft ones - like "2 Hearts" & "Forrest Gump". But I totally freaked out when they play my favorite song out of "Idealism". It was "Anything New" and was part of the three extra songs they played.

All in all, it's was my best concert I've seen this year. When I listen now to the tracks and close my eyes, I'm still at Muffathalle jumping around, sweating and freaking out including goosebumps. Thank you, Ismail & Jens for this extraordinary expierence.

Concert Review: Bomb The Bass, 30.10.2010 @ Landhotel St. Florian

St. Florian near by Schärding, Austria. Somewhere 9,3 miles behind Passau, more than a week ago, kuprosauwald.org celebrated their birthday. Happy belated birthday! And they organized a mammoth head liner called Bomb The Bass from UK. It was a bombastic performance and accompanied with a cool video show. At least until the video projector not to be in the mood of working anymore. But BTB still worked perfectly and bedazzled the whole crowd. Valesta from Austria supported them and made a great gig. The winner of the young austrain music award 2009 kicked off with a chillin' sound and passed over to rocking that Birthday Party. Through they played their hit "Best Friend" (click here for video). Below you can see some pictures of this gorgeous concert.
