Festival notes:
***************

Welcome back to the outskirts of nowhere, section Westphalia. Our little lovely festival survived the delay despite to the shit we all know. But finally it was set up and...dare I say...supersonic fantastic as usual.
Some statistics:

Admission fee: 65 € for both days, including camping.
Attendence: official 2500...
Catering: beer booths + cocktail bars, thai or turkish food all circled around the main festival ground. Prices moderate, but higher for food than three years before.
Beer was - as far as I know - Hohenfelder Pilsener (a local brewery).
Merchandise: Left side of the main stage, official festival booth, lots of space for the band merch.
Backstage: As fine as usual, very relaxed for both musicians (many stayed for hours after their show, or just for all two days!) and "workers".
Weather: On Thursday (the day before) it was up to 36+C, cooled down, rainy on friday morning, perfect weather on both days (app. 25+C), but fucking cold at night(8+C). Climate change? Is there any?
Others: No known hassles or other useless occurances. The small stage moved from the back of the main ground to the left side facing the stage with only one entrance. This has to be revived in future, as it was very
crowded and hard to get in to the main attractions for many listeners moving into the front that stage (Kombynat/Kanaan).

My grateful thanks to the chiefs Klaus + Christian for letting me do my work, to the soundcrew (very fine, very nice, very many cool chats), to all the helpers at Krach, the supersmooth security, my friends Jens and
ol' motorpsychedelic companion Markus for doing whatever it needed to get this marvellous great festival documented. Bigger than norwegian mountain hugs from me to all involved. It was just a "float". DANKE SCHÖN!
And now...let's get the tapes rolling...

Spacey's notes:

Somehow...I completely missed this show. Maybe I went back to the backstage campground for a nap or stuck in the backstage main tent with conversations. Therefor this is one of only three shows without pics taken,
unfortunately all were from the small stage on which taking a stage pic was quite difficult, as the small stairs up were usually crowded.
Anyway, enjoy this fine band from Chemnitz, Germany, some fine floating garage-fueled psychedelic rock for your mind and soul. SB.
