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

Tonight Covenant played at Batschkapp in Frankfurt. They are currently presenting their latest album “Leaving Babylon” live. Opening act for tonight was Aesthetic Perfection. The venue was packed with fans of both bands. All stoked for tonight’s show. At 8 pm sharp Aesthetic Perfection came on stage. Aesthetic Perfection is an American electronic musical project created by Daniel Graves in 2000. As usual the singer was wearing a white shirt with a vest on top along with a tie and a hat. In his face Daniel had painted a hand print. The drummer and keyboarder had their throat painted in black. All three of them going crazy on stage while performing their songs. And so did the audience. Most people were able to sing along to the songs and danced along as well. Aesthetic Perfection played old hits as well as some newer material. Without much talking the band went through their set of about forty minutes.

After a short change over Covenant came up on stage. Covenant is an electronic band formed in 1986 in Helsingborg, Sweden. The band is currently composed of Eskil Simonsson and Joakim Montelius alongside touring members Andreas Catjar and Daniel Jonasson. The show of Covenant began with darkness, a lot of fog and an intro. After a long intro and the beginning lines of “Leaving Babylon” the singer joined his two band colleagues on stage wearing a suite and welcomed the audience. Covenant played songs of their new album “Leaving Babylon” as well as older songs and hits. The audience went crazy to the music, singing and dancing along, cheering out loud after each song. The singer talked a lot with the audience during the songs, telling stories and thanking them. What a beautiful night with two amazing bands.
