I’ve been lost for a few weeks, because of a great amount of work and two travels to my beloved Germany… I promised to make my personal review of the Mera Luna Festival, so here it is. But just before start, I have to say that this summer has been one of the best, and at the same time, one of the strangest in my life.
First of all, I have to recognize that after been in Spktro festival in Vitoria, I didn’t have a lot of good expectations for the Mera Luna. I don’t know why, but it was that way (maybe I didn’t believe that anything could make me feel as happy as Spktro did). The day we arrived the festival (friday night) was raining cats and dogs. Rain stopped for a while and we could assemble our tents (quite an easy thing to put the pegs into the floor, as it was just mug!). It was f***ing cold! I think I just slept for half an our, we took the expensive coffee (2,50 €) and we went to Hildesheim to buy some food and drinks.
After our excursion to the town (where we found quite a interesting military shop), and after missing Lola Angst :’( … we got back to the festival and went to Assemblage 23 concert. But Client was there. For a moment we were affraid that some band was missing, but they just changed the order. Client was quite soft (as they are), and then Assemblage 23 came. It was nice, but a poor bass sound made songs sound strange. Although sun was shining too much by that our, and I was really tired, I enjoyed the concert.
Covenant, who played the next, was great. Everybody was so excited with them that some kind of good feelings were flying around us. Sound was not perfect, but Eskil Simonsson knew how to make us feel their music. His dancing body perfectly reflected the emotions… Sound was not the best, but it sounded ok. I was so stirred that was hard trying not to cry! My Mera Luna was begining… And my friends thought the same, that concert was one of the greatest.
After such a great time, I went to rest for a while and to get ready for the biggest one: And One. One of my favourites, it sounded great. I loved And One show, as they make their music sound different. They sing different, they play different.. there’s always a surprise in their live songs. They played the classics, but also some new ones (that great “Military Fashion Show”!!!). Must of them were quick songs, so the concert passed as it lasted for 5 minutes!! After that concert I thought that I should learn German, as I was singing like one possessed even the songs in German.. Sorrounded by Germans… xD Some of them may laughed at me!!
That day ended after a Suicide Commando show, where I could not stay for more than 3 songs. The music was too loud and some microphone distortions made my ears hurt. It was a pitty, as I like SC very much, but I was so tired that I had to go. I went back to the tent to have another cold sleeping night.
Enjoy!!!
