are "with me There are two rules. Firstly, I've only fun when you have fun. So make some noise! And second, if I say things like: Make some noise! Then you kindly make noise, "plain and simple - Jeru the Damaja is on clear statements, and if he gives a concert, the audience has to dance to his tune. So also on Saturday at the sold Skaters Palace. And this pays off: whether they chant now in a three-part chorus the refrain from the popular song "Come Clean" and it unanimously appointed to the "black emperor," as he demands it in broken German, Jeru has this evening the whole place in the bag , from the bully in the crowd in front of the stage to the fans in the gallery, leaning close together on the parapet and watch from the safety of bird's-eye view of the action. It is one of those evenings when the whole place looks like a single organism, where the chemistry is right, the fans surrender any nonsense and join the fun is equal on both sides of the stage barrier. One could also say it's a win-win situation. Suitable for Christmas with Jeru, Afu-Ra and Lil Dap three legends of the New York Hip Hop came to Muenster to the thirst of fans to classic silent and to be celebrating it again due. The heyday of the protagonists are indeed long gone, but that does not bother anybody tonight. Afu-Ra, the first in the league, brings the hits of his 2000s debut album still all clubs to spin. From the repertoire of hip hop DJs, he is never gone, all the more pleasing it is, the numbers again to see live. But the nostalgia is perfect until the appearance of Lil Dap, which is a casual track jacket and a cloth over the baseball cap mystery is: if the diminutive rap veteran says to the slow beats of producer DJ Premier's dark tales from the ghettos of Brooklyn, the time seems to stand still this is rap music. as it should be, raw and uncut.
Headliner Jeru The Damaja is then indeed in the same tradition, but his performance lives at least as the entertainment element. He loves to flirt with the fans ("You are funny!"), ulkt around and sometimes even forgets the music. But fortunately, only almost. For Jeru is also an outstanding performer and . a true limelight was sufficient after the concert a quick look at the countless happy faces as confirmation: a truly great evening
"Imagine you are on an island in the Caribbean . It is hot, the sun shines, the sea glistens, is not a cloud in the sky ... But that's only a dream! The reality is that you're in a restaurant in Münster, and you have to put up with me - Taktloss "In view of the driving snow and freezing temperatures on Saturday night probably would have been so many of the guests at Skaters Palace rather fancied on a South Sea island!. But the appearance of the West Berlin Rappers Taktloss seems the reality for the euphoric fans a welcome alternative to a beach vacation to be. In general on Saturday many reasons to visit the Hip Hop temple on Dahlweg - for the fifth edition of the "top tier" have again some illustrious delegates gathered the German rap celebrities to gather to remember the old times, and that must this time to write very large, a wild party to celebrate. Taktloss, Creutzfeld & Jakob, the Spezializtz - the three main actors in the successive appearances with six of crowded packed evening are all that is not exactly known for restraint and gentleness. Instead, the harder line was announced. First clock Loss: The West Berlin is celebrating the fine line between genius and insanity like no other. His lyrics are mostly non-family safe, his image of women is highly questionable, and on stage he supports his absurd theories and comparisons with a plastic machine gun. Some idolize him for it, others hate him - that night but those who indulge are clearly in the majority. Creutzfeld & Jakob can then revive the traditional Ruhrpott sound again and emphatically prove why they were ten years ago to spearhead the German rap scene. Flipstar and Laki, the front men of the crew are well placed to pop the beats as ever, no trace of patina. The grand finale will form a performance by the Berlin Spezializtz, also about a decade before the era of "grass Becks and tenderness "(MBC) proclaimed. And here's all the same: Dean and Harris celebrate the GBZ-Trinity, give spread patronizing and, to the delight of the "beautiful people" in the audience and serve the party, two cases of beer under the fans. Then the green bottle necks go up, and heard the slogan in unison: "Cheers"
really wanted to nail no punk. That he then embarked on this path but we have to include a large disco room of his Hometown Rheine owe. After all, it wants to at least the legend, he found the audience there so stupid that he ultimately had no choice at all. It was said: Roxy or punk. Nagel chose the latter and formed a band with Bernd Ahlert, who after a character in Tom Sawyer called "Muff Potter" and wanted to make music in the style of the punk band EA80. That was sixteen years ago, Nagel was 17 years old. Now, half a lifetime later, the band has released eight albums and numerous singles and risen to one of the most important German punk bands. But even the best times go by - in the summer, the Band announced its dissolution. In order duly to thank and say goodbye, the band went in December to big farewell tour, on Saturday there was the very last concert before about 1,500 fans in cathedral Jovel. time for a summary: 18 concerts have played Muff Potter here, from the kebab house to the Halle Münsterland, in nine different shops. "That one must first create in Münster," as Nagel says. The concert at the Jovel should but all previous gigs in the shade and share a grand finale - so full it was on a Muff Potter concert ever. Accordingly, the band was stirred then also by the enthusiasm and dedication with which the fans celebrated the concert and in the tinsel rain hits even sang along one last time in "unbreakable" to "flash Bop" to "22 tracks later." It may be a coincidence that Muff Potter have written so many songs about goodbyes, but on Saturday night made it all make sense. "Get me just go home, do not ask for tomorrow" because it was programmatic, or: "They're the end? That's can not have been yet. " But as this is now taking the leave. It is never easy, and it usually hurts a bit. No wonder that on Saturday no one wanted to go so right. But a more worthy farewell it could not have been. And in the end will, in the words of EA80, a hopeful "goodbye!"
They say the Münster so much after, but that they can dance very well NEN is probably just a rumor. But as the time is now with rumors - one entitled: k Chen truth is always d a at. And so k mt o m it that Stefanie Kloss, the lead singer of silver moon, on Freita g evening actually creates ten spontaneous Fans dance to get to the stage. Well, dancing is, in this case rather kla t dominant jump up and down, and in general would lump can do with the approximately 5,000 fans anything - But it's still a beautiful picture.

early December when a man with a beard, therefore, is to make people happy, is it really obvious to Whom do it. And being able to get a church comes into play, anyway, everything is clear. Who the thunder s salsa teacher, the long line at the Effata Youth Church in the Neubrückenstraße but with a premature Nik o lausbesuch brought the name was, at least half wrong. The man, due to the g to about six hundred people in the church e were on pilgrimage, has indeed a beard, and gifts he brought - at least in acute s genetic form - otherwise he does not have much in common with St. Nicholas. With horn-rimmed glasses, Wooden cases r shirt and wool cap looks William Fitzsimmons more like a grumpy Eige n brötler who lives somewhere divorced unit in A b and its cultivated solitude.
Fit z simmons is indeed an owl, and the loneliness he ebe n if familiar. His plays, sung in a low, almost whispering voice, b e accompanies get gently with acoustic guitar, acting z u mostly heavy themes - death, separation from his woman or the divorce of his parents. O h ne his music the world would be a piece Fröhle i Cher, as he himself Schmu n zelnd grants. "I hope you are geko m men to be sad," he addressed the fans listening attentively. But without his music the world would be a piece ä r mer - that reveals a glimpse into the blissful faces of Z u listeners. And that just the saddest music can have an inside i constricting effect h a proves Fitzsimmons zw i between the pieces: a charming and lively he is, therefore, makes jokes about se i NEN impressive beard and creates ("sums the best bit of the Unive r !") again and again to bring the fans to laugh - Music is with him just too catharsis, writing and singing a cleansing process.

lots of whistling're usually more of a bad sign. A mass of people who channeled their emotions into a deafening noise that can actually mean anything good. On Tuesday evening there was in the track 22, a chorus of whistles, which has washed up - but was this, that's for sure, an expression of sheer enthusiasm. How could you be unhappy, after such a concert?
because of the euphoria, the British soul singer Alice Russell. And this must be added to mandatory in this case, their great band. Completely wrong in the shadow of young, great soul ladies like Duffy, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone, the young British woman is among connoisseurs for more than one of the most important voices in modern soul and funk music. Their influences range from audible Minnie Riperton on Aretha Franklin to Jill Scott, her hefty and soulful, while wonderfully clear voice is always a balance between lasciviousness, Power and naive insouciance, its extremely confident, cheeky stage presence has long been the trademark - all adds up to a concert with Miss Russell to experience second to none.
Not only that their own pieces before groove and soul are bursting, she also manages to impose a cover song her own trademark: the old White Stripes-popular song "Seven Nation Army" sounded never been so sexy as here. And that's not all - as indeed is also the wonderful band, without which both Russell and the audience would have only half as much fun. And her boys not only look good (in the black Pailettenkleid Russell, the band uniform White - "Dressed To Impress" is not only the addition but also the motto of the evening), but to steal their spontaneous dancing and other antics not only once, almost the show. But only almost, finally, is also Russell's Robot Dance-not bad.
Apropos Show: When the band collectively goes down and the dead makes man remains Miss Russell and looked down on them - a well-choreographed, self-confident statement: The woman is in a class by itself and the men are on the ground to their feet. How could they be otherwise?
