Отчет о концерте ROTERSAND на ежегодном Bochum Total FESTIVAL, Germany, 21st- 24th June 2007

Last band on Friday night on the open air stages was ROTERSAND.
THE FAIR SEX member Rasc put together this project with long-time collaborator Gun in 2002. When Rasc and Gun came together, they wanted to realize their own concept of electronic music - intoxicating, modern and anyway timeless. Soon after the band was joined by sound man Krischan E. Wesenberg - first live on stage and later as full-time band member. With him in the band, the formation gained even more dynamic and power. Right the first EP ‘Merging Oceans’, released in spring 2003, brought them international resonance. Third and latest long player ‘1023’ was released some days ago.

Music
Even though ROTERSAND themselves described as “the Scooter of Electronic Body Music”, just a tongue-in-cheek remark, they produce not only simple dance music just for the sake of it. The band has much more to offer, like ‘Merging Oceans’ which is a great pop tune with a techno approach, or the real noise bastard ‘Exterminate Annihilate Destroy’ kicking asses on every dance floor. But not only dance floor fillers belong to the band’s repertoire. The recent album offers also ballads even presented with acoustic guitar played by Rasc - what was also presented live on stage.

The new songs were celebrated as much as the older ones. ROTERSAND simply have a pop feel and danceable techno beats as well as hard and dark stuff in best EBM tradition besides the already mentioned ballads. What more to expect from the audience? Well… something different to other shows was there: Krischan could not be on stage at Bochum Total because he was in the USA as sound engineer of VNV Nation during that time. For the Bochum show, Lukas of AUTOAGGRESSION jumped in.

Performance
Until short before the ROTERSAND show was supposed to start, we were really lucky with the weather during that evening. But then it started pouring down when the band had to enter the stage. But well, no one really care. Anyone was enjoying the show - on and off stage. As we know it, Rasc had very close contact to the audience, jumping into the dancing crowd just like Michel of METALLSPÜRHUNDE earlier that day. He was rewarded with lots of handshakes and hugs by the people down there. I think it is always something special to be that close to the artists. Singer Rasc obviously does enjoy being on stage and did his best to impersonate Mr. Showman.

Great moment of the show was also the point during ‘Exterminate, Annihilate, Destroy’ when the whole band was pointing at different people spitting out those words. Rasc again presented himself as perfect front man. Besides that, Gun did a great job too changing from keys to guitar or only backing vocals at the stage rim. Also Lukas was fitting into the show quite well. ROTERSAND once more convinced with their energetic, pounding songs that got a crowd going. As you know by now, Rasc was playing in THE FAIR SEX before and since both bands are located in that area we got a little surprise as encore. Myk Jung and Blonder of TFS performed the TFS song ‘Not Now, Not Here’ together with ROTERSAND. It was so energetic up there on stage during that moment.

Finally it was also dark enough for the light show to take effect. Bright light and smoke flooded the stage during several songs while the ballads were lit up with moodier spots. ROTERSAND once again proved that they are an entertaining and energetic live act. Great finish of the open air day in Bochum! But there was still something more to come…

ps Don't know - худшая песня Ротера, вообще никакая..

Очень, очень спорное утверждение ))) сколько людей столько и мнений )

С удавольствием бы заценил эту классическую фэейрсексовую вещь в ротерсендовском испалнении .....интересно как они ее переиграли

да ну согласись, что очень нетипичная песня для них

да нет ничего нетепичного не заметил, только кайфовал - это одна из любимых на новом альбоме песТня ))))

поздравляю ну она как раз ни то, ни се - не жесть и не медляк и ваще попса))
у меня любимые Lost & I'm with you (на данный момент времени).

очевидно это очень настроеньческий альбом - не всегда идет..
