[2007020] Die Roten Punkte

Die Roten Punkte (FringeTIX)

Die Roten Punkte @ The Garden Shed

10:15pm, Sun 11 Mar 2007

This show was almost identical to the show I saw twice last year - which is just fine by me. Brilliant, in fact.

So, has anything about this lovable Berlin brother/sister rock/punk duo changed? Well, there are a couple of plants onstage. Astrid now has a drum solo. There's a few new bits of banter. There might have been one new song.

Oh, and I was the subject of Astrid's "Close To You" dedication (and, hence, Otto's derision). Which meant I got a bit of a solo sing, too :)

I love Die Roten Punkte - from the blank-faced opening & sound-check, through the (identical) first three songs from the first album, the German-industrial track, all crowd-chant-friendly tunes and falsettos… it's one of those shows that leaves a massive grin on your face and a head-bobbing song in your heart.
