A little bit more melodic evening. First were Rusty James from Bremen. I had
seen them a few times before, and I always found it boring. This evening too.
Too slow, too poppy, too shallow. Just not my cup of tea. Sorry, no points!
Next were Three Steps Up, who are (like Serpico) from New York. They were
very much better than Rusty James, but nothing too extraordinary. Now, which is
two weeks later, I can't remember much. Couldn't be that good. Average, I think.
Last band was Serpico. They were the best band that evening, and the first one
that could get me dancing. But there was some trouble with a guy who hit the
microphone right into John(the singer)'s face, and he was quite angry about
that and nearly stopped playing. After a while he continued, but the gig
was somehow teared apart. Later this evening there was even more trouble,
because the guy with the mike had some scars shaped like SS runes, and made
definitively no friends with that (neither with his rude behaviour). After
the people at the Alhambra refused him and his pal a place to sleep for the
night (because of the incidents all over the eveing), he left Sieg Heil-ing
and nearly causing a fight. Shit, some people never learn, and they could
easily ruin an evening.
After all the evening was ok. I didn't regret to go, but I'd think twice about
seeing this combination of bands a second time.
