The Whiskey Foundation at Clap Club, December 2015
« on: March 27, 2016, 21:59:43 »

Last year I went to three concerts of The Whiskey Foundation.
The first more by accident, I came for another band at a free concert evening and was totally surprised by the last act (and fighting with the broken AF of my newly acquired D750)...

In April and December I went there on purpose. The guys are great!
The sound often reminds me of the Doors even though it is new stuff written today.
For me the Munich Band of 2015.

Over the three concerts I could see how their stage presentation evolved. Initially the playlist was not built for a progression, but in the last concert they had that down perfectly.
And, the concert in December was performed at Clap Club, a demo or film studio from Arri, so the light was fabulous.

The December concert had an opening act by the street musicians the singer used to play with:



The singer:


The Drummer, the beast:


One of the few moments where one could see the face of the bass player:



The keyboarder sounds a lot like Ray Manzarek:



Lead Guitar:

The whole set convey the energetic stage very nicely.  Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know there was ARRI studio near LMU.  The Clap Club seems to be pretty new, opened fairly recently.

I too like the set - especially the hair of the keyboard player :)

Elsa beat me to make this comment, I like how the hairy mess fits the ambiance

Thanks guys!

I didn't know there was ARRI studio near LMU.  The Clap Club seems to be pretty new, opened fairly recently.
It is a weird location. Accessible only via a small staircase. I assume this a demo studio for their lighting equipment that is occasionally used for live acts. The bars inside are not permanent.

Thanks, Andreas, for the details of the venue.  Apparently it is very suitable for the promo video shooting.
