22-10-2007 Hellnights

Venue: Nachtleben, Frankfurt (Germany)
  By: Nina Mende

  I just love Halloween: the dressing-up, the trick or treating and the annual
  Hellnights Tour with 4 to 5 gorgeous bands!
  This year’s line-up was planned to be the Crimson Ghosts, the Deep Eynde,
  the Spook and Nim Vind, but Nim Vind couldn’t be along Hellnights this
  time, so Shadow Reichenstein was replacing them for the tour. Although I would
  have loved to see Nim Vind, Shadow Reichenstein is great as well.

  The show tonight, at the Nachtleben in Frankfurt, started at 8:15 pm, quite
  early and Monday evening. That was probably the reason why it was quite empty.
  Crimson Ghosts, a German horror punk band from Cologne, were up first. With
  the perfect Halloween-like make-up they were playing for about 30 minutes.

 
    Up next were the Deep Eynde, an American band from California. Their singer
  was in a complete dress-up, perfectly covered his face and everything, it looked
  really spooky. Way spookier, though, was the fact that he was running around,
  not only on stage but also off stage so it happened that, as I was taking pictures
  of the bass players mask, he almost jumped me from behind and shocked me. But
  what would Hellnights be without such happenings…what a great performance,
  not only illustration wise but also music wise. Really great.

 
 
    The third band tonight was the Spook, another German band. The singer looked
  a little bit like Freddy Krueger, the bass player like Elvis, and the drummer
  had gorgeous tattoos all over. The Spook dedicated each song of the night to
  somebody. The Nachleben was a little bit fuller by now and everybody was singing
  and dancing along and having a great time.

 
 
    Last tonight was Shadow Reichenstein, a band from Texas. During the whole evening
  I saw people either wearing Blitzkid merchandise or Shadow Reichenstein, or
  even both. Some people were even dressed in Shadow Reichenstein merchandise
  completely. Really cool to see. The audience was singing and rocking along the
  with the Texans and enjoyed the show. They played old and new songs, and even
  a very new song that is on no album yet.

  I love Halloween!!
