The last night of the first round- that is sad, having fantastic shows all over. So we start this Saturday with happy music- LOS FUGITIVOS, a multicultural band from Serbia, Mexico, Denmark... opened with World Music. The Akkordeon gives the special sound, Acoustic guitar is carrying the good vocals and the drummer plays light and easy. Life is so beautiful. Going on to the semifinals.
HEIVEN as the next band is on the track of Nirvana, intense and explosive. Hard guitar riffs are alternating with soft tunes, the singer is harmonic and screaming with all the power he can afford and the drummer is THE machine. An experience. On!

CHASING BLISS are offering Blissrock to the audience. This means Rock in the best meaning of the word, straight and full of energy, no frickle frackle, just forward, and the crowd is in love with it. Sorrily not on.

Funky time. FUNK INCLUSIVE is up tempo, sometimes a little Caribian, spreading out the sense of oldschool funk. The singer not always getting the note, but they made the audience dance.

Welcome to the CAPITOL OF NOWHERE, Progressive Rock with a punch and an extraordinary songwriting. The musicians know what to do and create a fascinating atmosphere by good arrangements. We see and hear them again in the next round.

Heavy Stoner Rock for our headbangers. THE PERMUTATION conquer the club with a great personality, the singer intense, screaming his feelings to the stumping beat. Just great and on.

POWER REGRESSION are ending the night and the first round in KANSAS CITY. The greatest show of all nights, Punkrock, sometimes oldschool British ,sometimes innovative like hearing Punk the first time. The whole audience is Pogo dancing and absolutely happy. We see them of course in the semifinal. Great night, great bands. Let's go on like that.
