  After writing about their debut album I was quite excited to see them live.
  Listening to the album gave me an idea of what they might sound live, but that
  they are so great live, well, I didn’t quite expect that. And as Captain
  Poon (vocals and guitar) also apologized by saying the gig the day before had
  been better I was really stunned: How could it be any better? No, they didn’t
  pay me for saying that, I really mean it!!! Did I mention who I am talking about
  yet? No? Oh, sorry. I am talking about Bloodlights from Oslo/Norway, of course.

  But they weren’t the only ones to rock the stage that evening: Their opening
  act was Slick’s Kitchen from Germany. Four guys rocking the stage with
  a dark and smoky voice. The audience enjoyed their performance. The singer had
  some of his hair spiked up like devil’s horns. They played a Motörhead
  cover and had underwear hanging on their drum set. Slick’s Kitchen were
  good.

    After Slick’s Kitchen Bloodlights were up, the venue was very crowded
  by now, a quite mixed audience. Bloodlights is a Norwegian band who released
  their debut album “Bloodlights” on November 16th last year, a great
  album which was rotating in my CD player quite many times. Now I finally got
  to see them live and was amazed how great they were live. Everybody had his
  name on his amp and the drummer on his drum set, a very nice idea. They played
  most songs of the album, talked a lot with the audience and were totally friendly.
  The very powerful and energetic performance was animating everybody to sing
  and rock along. Many people could actually sing along. They played one totally
  new song called “Danger Zone” and two cover songs including an encore
  of two songs. I so can’t wait to see them again.This is what they played:
  Bullshit on your mind
  Where the stars don’t shine
  Hammer and the wheel
  Against the flow
  New rose
  Danger Zone
  Rain on a sunny day
  Easy target
  Bloodlights
  One eye open
  Bald and outrageous

As encore they played:
  Silly thing
  Addiction
