Last Saturday we met again after an epic busridefailure
(forgetting how to open busdoors in Germany is not so practical...) and ending
up paying for a taxi I did not need.
Well, at least I was in time to still see how the Swiss guys
of Scream Your Name set foot on stage. Their post-hardcore melodic mixtures of
heavy guitarriffs and the more soft clean vocals were certainly not bad. The
crowd however remained calm. Too calm if you asked the band. “I really think
people tonight are up to heavier stuff than Scream Your Name”, the band
declared after the show.
Next up was We Set The Sun with the release show of their new album 'V Ages Of Man'. Some changes have taken place within the band: The previous vocalist left last year and guitar player Tim took over the microphone. Same people, new energy you could say. The atmosphere somehow changed when the Germans hit the stage, as a lot of efforts were done by We Set The Sun to make the cinderella crowd wake up. First song ‘Groundbreaking’ with music video on the album was definitely a song that people were familiar with. After that people were slapped literally by give-away-shirts and some stagedives made everything complete. A very good warm up for the next two goodbye shows of ‘Arterial’ and ‘Spider Killed Bananaman’ that were coming up.
After the last free shirts were grabbed from the floor, Arterial prepared theirselves for their last show ever. Half an hour is quite short for a goodbye show the band could unfortunately only play a song or five. It became clear that a big bunch of people came out to Arterial's hometown just to support the band one last time. Songs as Rising Tides, Awake and some surprise act new untitled song were played. Before leaving the stage the moved fans received the last shirts and EP's. Tears were shed and hugs were given. Arterial will forever be in our hearts.

Spider Killed Bananaman overwhelmed the crowd and now all people seemed to have waken up. The entire hall went crazy when songs as 'Cut off her
tongue' and 'Shit and fuck and motherfucker' were played. A lot of songs were
played and after that some extra songs were played.
Suddenly around the end of the set, one of the bandmembers yelled at us: ‘Hey, what do you wants us to play now?’ As my brain decided not to reply at all I answered ‘Uuuuhhmmm… Play me something you have on Youtube please.’

Then it came to an end. Last song ever, last time to see Spider Killed Bananaman on stage, very last chance to dance. People start to yell ‘Cut off her tongue’. All of a sudden around the end of the song, the bassplayer ran to us, pushed his bass into my friend’s hands and dived off the stage. People sang along and suddenly there was pink light, seagels appeared out of nothing in the Sputnikhalle and it seemed we were in Utopia. No drugs involved, only music and a good light show.
P.S.: Keep your eyes open for some videos we made on Sputtenmosh XIV that will be online tonight!
