QUESTIONS & ANSWERS – der gig-blog-Fragenkatalog: Folge 92 mit MOSCOW METRO
Da sage nochmal jemand etwas gegen das deutsche Vereinswesen. Der Verein „In die Wohnzimmer e.V.“ und die „Schutzbauten Stuttgart e.V.“ tun sich spontan zusammen – und heraus kommt: ein Indie-Gig vom feinsten mit den ganz frischen und ordentlich durchstartenden Moscow Metro aus Limerick. Und zwar am 27.05. um 20:00 Uhr im Tiefbunker Feuerbach, einer Location mit wunderbar schaudriger Kalter-Kriegs-Atmo. Wie geschaffen für eine Musik, die stilistisch irgendwo zwischen Joy Division und Echo & the Bunnymen angesiedelt ist.
