JULIEN-K @ Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg w/ MY PASSION + MAYFIELD
Live Reviews
“The travel to Aschaffenburg was a little adventure itself, thanks to Deutsche Bahn. Trains getting delayed and delayed is always a lot of fun. Not. And dragging around what feels like ten tons of luggage in a bag that’s barely holding together is not so funny either. But I’ll stop complaining, I arrived and that’s the most important thing. And if I hadn’t managed to catch a cold exactly today, I’d be completely satisfied. (…)
Mayfield, who filled in for Murder.fm, opened the show with a grunge performance that bore a distinct resemblance to Nirvana before My Passion took over a warmed up the crowd for the things that were yet to come. And how they came.
Around 10 pm Julien-K hit the stage and began their first performance ever in Europe. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t have noticed for a second that Ryan is actually sick. He performed at full power just like everyone else. I won’t tell you the setlist cause I know that some people like to be surprised and I don’t want to be a spoilsport. I’m just going to say this much: It’s a long, nicely chosen set and the four new songs fit in there really well. The people liked them as well which is a good sign for the new album. According to Amir they’ll try to finish the new stuff until the end of the year and that’s quite a nice prospect, isn’t it? 
And if you wondered who is doing the back-up voals now that Brandon is not a part of the band anymore: It’s not Fu who took over, but Elias. And he’s doing a great job!
And now, I’ll get back to my hotel and try to get rid a little of that stupid cold before we hit the road to Munich tomorrow. From tomorrow on there’ll be something new to the shows: The Austrian DJ iPunk is the official tour DJ and he’ll do a set before, between and after the bands. If that’s not a nice addition, huh? And we want to see you dance! All of you!”
