Bitch party? Because it had been a shame to miss Musculus — they are way too much fun to watch. Therefore they could be described as the Finnish version of Turbonegro.
The club was fuller than I had expected to find due to the circumstances, and it had continued to fill up further, so when Keoma entered the stage, they faced a pretty large crowd. Gee, I had seen them before, but forgotten how good they are — well, OK, at least until those few songs where they put in too much of -core-stuff, for my taste.
What I like best is their melancholic Melodic Death of epic dimension, with a touch of Progressive, and luckily the set remained focused on that. Need to fetch one of their Ep releases…. Naturally the headliners For The Imperium attracted most audience attention right away, and they seem to have quite a fanbase. I did not stay to find out whether the crowd demanded encores.
Feeling pretty tired and hoping increase my chances to catch a ride by leaving earlier, I cut my evening shorter than planned, and BEHOLD — a taxi!! A few meters from the club!! Top rating for their research efforts and the level of hilariousness! Day 2 began for me punctually in a bit more relaxed fashion thanks to functioning public traffic, yet the previous day had left a little reminder… not what you might think, I mean some strained leg muscles due to excessive walking … It was a pity that many decided to arrive fashionably late and therefore missed Blate, because their Grunge-style is quite appealing.
And those guys look in nature almost as cute as in this video — but their somewhat static stage show might need to be worked on. It seems that pretty much everybody knew Wankers Of The Zoo Crew, or WOTZC , and their Rock-Alternative-Groove mix, because they kept the pit area evacuated — well, not counting those 2 slightly suicidal die-hard-fans directly at the stage. Yet the charismatic and versatile front man Tommi could hardly ever be found there.
