Date: 15-12-2007; Colos Saal Aschaffenburg (Germany)
\nBy: Nina Mende<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Bavaria is definitely not my favorite area in Germany and I rather not go there
\nthat often, so there must be a quite good reason for me to go there. <\/p>\n

The Vincent Black Shadow was one. So I went to the Colos Saal in Aschaffenburg\u00a0to the see this Canadian quintet live, for the first time. I only knew the song\u00a0“Metro” before and I have ever loved it. By coincidence I just recently\u00a0found out that this song is by The Vincent Black Shadow and that they are on\u00a0tour in Germany right now. So this show, eventhough it was in Bavaria, was a\u00a0must-go for me, no matter what.<\/p>\n

The Vincent Black Shadow from Vancouver, Canada was formed out of a friendship\u00a0between Cassandra Ford and Rob Kirkham. In 2000 the two met at a bar, becoming\u00a0musical collaborators from then on. Kirkham then recruited his two brothers\u00a0Chris and Anthony Kirkham. The brothers had extensive musical training from\u00a0their father, a trumpet player for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. TVBS actually\u00a0is the marriage of two projects: the Kirkham brothers’ original horror punk\u00a0trio Mr. Underhill that spawned Nim Vind and a side project of Rob Kirkham and\u00a0Cassandra Ford produced to highlight her vocals. When Cassandra and Rob started\u00a0feverishly writing, they called upon the other Kirkham brothers to join in their\u00a0endeavor. Finally, Mary Ancheta joined the group later on to play keyboard.\u00a0The band signed to the Bodog record label in 2006. In 2007, The Vincent Black\u00a0Shadow played on the Vans Warped Tour.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Warped Tour is a touring music and extreme sports festival. The tour is held
\n\u00a0 in venues (generally parking lots or fields upon which the stages and other
\n\u00a0 structures are erected). The BMX\/skateboarding shoe manufacturer Vans has\u00a0 sponsored\u00a0the tour among others every year since 1995 and it is often referred to as the
\n\u00a0 Vans Warped Tour. As of the mid-2000s, the Warped Tour has featured as many
\n\u00a0 as 100 bands per show. The bands play for up to 30 minutes over approximately
\n\u00a0 10 different stages, although the biggest bands generally play the two “Main”
\n\u00a0 stages. A typical day would have bands starting at 11:00am and end at 9:00 p.m.
\n\u00a0 with several bands playing at once. One band, by fan vote, is allowed to play
\n\u00a0 ten extra minutes at each show.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Besides the Warped Tour, the band also played at Myspace Spring Break, The
\n\u00a0 Fuse\/Fangoria Chainsaw Awards official after party, CMJ and PopKomm. TVBS have
\n\u00a0 toured with Joan Jett, Snow Patrol, Halifax, Greeley Estates, Bif Naked, Kosheen
\n\u00a0 and have played several radio local live shows in support of their hit radio
\n\u00a0 single “Metro,” which received top 5 phone requests nationwide and
\n\u00a0 serious airplay.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 But before I get totally off track, this was supposed to be about their show
\n\u00a0 in Aschaffenburg. So after I purchased the album “Fears In The Water”
\n\u00a0 from the merch stand, I went up front through the thick crowd into the photo
\n\u00a0 pit, which I shared only with two security guys and one other photographer who
\n\u00a0 seemed to be local. And now it was time, the club music went out and the lights
\n\u00a0 in the venue did too. All lights on center stage and welcome The Vincent Black
\n\u00a0 Shadow! The five Canadians entered stage and started rocking. Mary, the keyboarder,
\n\u00a0 was in the back on the right side of the stage, almost hidden in the shadow,
\n\u00a0 while Cassie, Rob, Chris and Anthony were in the spotlights. Cassie seemed quite
\n\u00a0 big on stage considering that she actually is about the size of Kylie Minogue.
\n\u00a0 Her strong voice and performance made her look so much bigger. Very energetic
\n\u00a0 and powerful!!! Rob (guitar) was always jumping around and rocking his side
\n\u00a0 of the stage, you could see the sweat running down Rob’s face and dripping off
\n\u00a0 his nose tip. While Chris was more calm on the left side. Anthony was rocking
\n\u00a0 behind the drums, while Mary, behind her keyboard in the very back, probably
\n\u00a0 got forgotten by most of the audience. Chris was singing most of the backing
\n\u00a0 vocals, but Rob also sang some of the backings. “Metro” was one of
\n\u00a0 their last songs, but they also played almost all of the other songs off the
\n\u00a0 album, which are also really great. Cassie has a gorgeous voice and the great
\n\u00a0 sound of the Colos Saal was reflecting it very well. A gorgeous show. I was
\n\u00a0 so impressed that I had to listen to the CD on my way home in the car right
\n\u00a0 away, and I have to admit, I still have it in and listen to it all the time.
\n\u00a0 A great band and I really hope I will get to see them live again very soon.<\/p>\n
