Gig Photos: Lions Head at Im Wizemann, Stuttgart (December 2018)

Hey guys!

And so it happened - the last gig of the year!

It's always such a dramatic thing to say, but the year is almost over.
We've only got two more weeks of 2018 and for us it's a wrap with the live shows.
Our cameras get to chill out for a hot second before we dive into 2019.

So, for the last time this year, please let me share some gig impressions with you.

Date: 8th December 2018
Venue: Im Wizemann, Stuttgart (GER)

Support Act: RIAN

RIAN, a singer/songwriter from the picturesque Austria, took the stage alone and was greeted with a warm welcome.
Stuttgart's audience was partly familiar and excited and partly ready to discover new music.

With his relatable and honest tracks it really didn't take a lot to get the crowd to sing along.
They embraced every note and sang back whenever RIAN asked them to.

His warm sound found great appreciation in the room and was a brilliant start of the evening.

Headliner: Lions Head

And on came Lions Head.

Supported by a three piece band, Iggy's infectious songs controlled the room immediately.
It didn't take longer than a few notes blasting through the speakers, for the loyal fans to sing and groove along.

What stood out the entire evening was Lions Head's strong connection to the crowd;
he was constantly jumping off stage, connecting with the fans behind the barricade, singing into the phone cameras provided by the eager crowd and overall just involving everyone.

Whenever he wasn't playing the guitar on a track, he was constantly with the crowd - at one point he even jumped over the barricade and made his way through the audience, sharing unique moments with his fans.
Iggy and his band had an infectious energy which quickly travelled through the room and was reflected by the audience.
Whether everyone was dancing to "So Mean", singing along to "When I Wake Up" or letting out their sarcastic side with "True Love", the energy didn't die down.

Video Interview: Lions Head

Hey guys!

I'd say that the coolest thing about running a music blog is constantly being introduced to new music.

While it's pretty cool to have a bunch of favourite artists whose music sort of acts as a comfort,
it's so crucial to discover new sounds all the time.

Not only do I get to discover new music myself,
but I also get to share it with you - which is the best part. 

Today I'm excited to either introduce you to an artist you might not know yet,
or to give you the opportunity to learn more about one of your favourites.


So please grab your headphones and enjoy the music & the interview.


Lions Head is the moniker Ignacio "Iggy" Uriarte uses to release infectious Pop music driven by singer/songwriter elements. 
Iggy is originally from New York (US), but moved to Germany a couple of years ago to pursue his music career, which led him to Berlin.

In 2015 his song "Begging" made the jump from only being known by a handful of people to entering the charts, racking up more than a million views on YouTube.
Soon enough Sony Music Columbia signed him and he started supporting acts such as Milky Chance, Rea Garvey and Joris on tour.

Earlier this year Lions Head mentored contestants as a judge on X-Factor Germany.

Curious what Lions Head sounds like?


Check out his latest single "So Mean" right here:



A couple of hours before he went on stage in Stuttgart, we sat down to chat about what he learned as a judge, the mystery of losing socks, weird stores and a lot more.

Gig Photos: Tom Walker at LKA Longhorn, Stuttgart (December 2018)

Hey guys!

Last year I was invited to interview a promising up and coming artist,
his name was Tom Walker and after hearing just one song of his, I knew I wanted to chat to him.

The interview was definitely one of my favourites because of how relaxed and fun it was.
In case you've missed it, you can check it out here.

So when we I saw Tom annouce his tour dates, I definitely wanted to photograph the show for you.
I'm super sure you either already know and love Tom's sound, or if this is your introduction, you'll end up finding a new favourite artist.

Date: 4th December 2018
Venue: LKA Longhorn, Stuttgart (GER)

Support Act: Maisie Peters

Maisie Peters took the stage together with her backing band mate Tina who played the keys, violin and sang backing vocals.

From the first chord on it was obvious that the crowd was excited to hear Tom Walker's support act.
A lot of fans in the crowd were already familiar with Maisie's sound and we heard them sing along proudly.
Maisie made standing on stage look so easy and natural, giving off the vibes that she's done this millions of times.
Her songs told the stories of broken hearts and of personal struggles, allowing the fans in the crowd to identify with the honesty and vulnerability of her songs.

The cheering and singing was loud enough to surely say that the crowd loved her.

Headliner: Tom Walker

We have seen many Stuttgart crowds over the years,
but this particular one definitely stood out.

At your usual gig, you'll always find a bunch of people who will be chatting during songs or when the acts are tuning their instruments.
Not at this Tom Walker show though - instead, everyone in the room was so quiet, you could've dropped a pin - which is very impressive for around 800 people in one room.

But of course this doesn't mean that everyone stayed quiet during the songs, because that wasn't the case. The fans had the best time singing and shouting the lyrics back at Tom and his band.

Tom took the time to chat about the title of his upcoming debut album, "What A Time To Be Alive" (out on March 1st 2019), which overall was a positive speech - but of course nobody can ignore today's political state, so the crowd was asked to shout "Fuck It" during his track "Rapture".

If you are somewhat familiar with Tom's sound, you'll know that his voice is one hell of a remarkable instrument; he's got so much control and technique, and during the parts in which his voice goes raspy, you just end up speechless.
But we  n e e d  to mention Tom's band as well; each member was on top of their game and made the night incredibly enjoyable for fans of instrumentals and solos.

The crowd was on fire during "Leave A Light On" and it might've given us goosebumps as we experienced the show instead of just observing it.
What more can reviewers ask for?
