Rheinkultur 2006

One year has passed since the last Rheinkultur and we were excited about going yet again. The lineup was pretty cool, though Coheed and Cambria had chancelled. The weather was great. Must have been at least 30° outside and the sun was burning our lil asses. A beer and some good Bratwurst later, my initial concern about death through dehydration or staving had already disappeared, we looked at the first bands and desperately seeked shade wherever we could. Soon we climbed up the hill to look over the whole area which is where we stayed for a while. The view is quite nice up there...wait, a picture:

The first cool thing which surprised me was Slut.
(http://www.slut-music.de/) Really cool music with a mixture of Muse, Placebo and many other influences. The interpretation of the "3 Groschen Oper" in a rock dress also sounded pretty sweet, plus I thought it was a cool idea...

After watching Archive (http://www.archives-archive.com/) and running over to the blue stage afterwards we saw what we wanted to see. Death Cab For Cutie [(http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/) CHECK IT OUT! ] really played a great show that got me all carried away in thoughts while I enjoyed the setting sun, the light show and the nice warm air. Great way of ending the night. I love this band. Go listen to Death Cab For Cutie and buy their CDs. Something worth supporting. Here's a shot of them - well...somewhat...

HERE is one of their videos... check it out..

Cheers
