Rock'n'Roll in Turku with The Flaming Sideburns

As promised a few days ago, some snapshots of the Flaming Sideburns show at "Dynamo Klubi" in Turku / Finland on last week's Saturday (10th November 2018) can be found on my additional blog "Sound Kitchen Archives" now: https://sound-kitchen-archives.blogspot.com/2018/11/photo-gallery-flaming-sideburns-live-in.html

Two days after the show, The Flaming Sideburns posted the following statement on their facebook page: "Some people claim that rock and roll is dead but obviously no-one's informed The Flaming Sideburns of the tragic news." I couldn't agree more, and I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a gig so much. In times of VIP ticket packages, instagramania and spectacularisation overall, it is truly a relief to see that they still exist: Bands that just rock. Bands whose shows deliver quintessential Rock'n'Roll. Bands like The Flaming Sideburns. 

By the way: Their merchandising rocks, too...


Trophies of the day: A tote bag and a poster


Last but not least, here is an audiovisual impression of the band's performance at "Dynamo Klubi"... Enjoy!

Launch of the additional blog "Sound Kitchen Archives"

For me, this week began with the launch of an additional blog, called "Sound Kitchen Archives". As the name suggests, "Sound Kitchen Archives" is first and foremost an archive of my older works, particularly works that cannot be found on the world wide web (anymore).

I've been thinking about such a blog for a very long time, and after a wonderful weekend with my love and friends of ours in Finland's capital Helsinki, I decided more or less spontaneously to finally just go for it.

More about the idea behind "Sound Kitchen Archives" can be found here: https://sound-kitchen-archives.blogspot.com/2018/11/introduction.html.

With the additional blog, I can also keep my professional life and my private life more separated from each other. But don't worry: Both blogs will be updated equally. 

Coming up next are some snapshots of The Flaming Sideburns who played a show in Turku / Finland, our place of residence, last night... Stay tuned!
