The Dandy Warhols love almost everyone

One main reason for me to pay a ticket for a band's concert that i don't furiously listen at home day and night is that i always know that after seeing them live, i will more appreciate them. I do not agree with people saying "I know a few songs, i don't want to pay that much to see them", because obviously this is wrong, wrong, wrong. Seeing someone perform in front of thousands of people may change your perception of that music and definitely worth your money, and it has always worth mine.
For this reason, the Dandy Warhols were a wery awaited band at Stufstock 5, popular everywhere in the world, but here in Romania seeming to come from the subterranous psychedelic tunes of american rock. Not only they proved wrong, because people knew their songs, and their show (and strangely tuned instruments) put everyone in a trance, but having learned some lesson, more people started listening to Dandy's music. And we lived happily ever after. :-)

Summer's not entirely gone

Wait, there are still a few things left from Stufstock Festival this august to be shown. Then, we should not forget about Coma, the band that started all the fuss back in the Atomic Television times. Taken mainly as a joke at first (remember [RO]Nu vreau fetito casa), they developed their sound to a more defton-ish vibe, and here they are in 2007, with all the noise and capricious star attitude, but hey, i've waited for this concert since i don't know when. And it went fine. :-)

My 10 years of Kumm

My side of this story started not ten years ago, but almost, back in the early days of my highschool times in Constanta, when Cluj and all of its music were considered to be of great inspiration and attitude for us, but also very hard to get to listen. Sure there was the internet, but no proper internet connection or downloading software. Anyway, i remember a friend mentioned Kumm as being one of Cluj new releases, so i started looking for their music, until Stufstock 1, where i first got to see them, liked them and somehow later on loved their style. And the rest is...music.
So here we are, celebrating their 10th year of creation on the 29th of October at the National Opera, together with all band members since 1997 and friends playing for them one piece of Kumm, as follows: Luna Amara, Timpuri Noi, Ada Milea, Travka, The Mood and Zob.
And here they are, playing at MTR in their last appearance until that big day:
