Review - Transmitter (NL Support @ Leipzig 27.12.2009)

We arrived in Leipzig on time & i (Jeff) was still feeling really hungover, i was so tired & couldn't stop worrying about tonights gig but i knew i had to get over it because "The show must go on" as they say (yep that sounds real cheesy). We all agreed that Leipzig is a really nice city, nice architecture & the people seemed freindly enough also, but i really just wanted to get to the hotel, take a shower & sleep, which is exactly what i did.

A few hours later we drove to the Werk 2 club & once again we said our hellos to the NL team, unloaded the van & then Lui & myself went out to find something to eat, i really wasn't so hungry but i had to have something otherwise I'd of fallen over on stage, later on in the backstage area we started joking around as usual & i started feeling a lot better & was looking forward to the gig.

The Werk 2 club itself holds about 1200 people & filled up really quickly, we knew it would be packed out just like the other shows but the atmosphere was a little different to say the least, & after we'd finished the opening track "Fall to the Floor" the entire crowd just seemed to freeze...i mean you could of heard a pin drop, so we just got on with the show & after a couple of more songs parts of the crowd started to clap & get into it, Stefen the sound guy for NL told us "dont worry sometimes the real hardcore NL fans stand with their backs to the stage when the support band plays" so we took that as a massive compliment & thanked the crowd after we'd finished the set...obviously without any encores!

I said a few last words & thanked NL for inviting us onto the tour, which was really appreciated by the crowd which led to cheering & more applause as we left the stage. It was a bit of a strange gig at the beginning, but i think we won them over in the end.

Danke Leipzig!
