Let the lights & effects technician practise his skills on his friends first


On Saturday I went out with some friends to a new club in Bremen. It is called Das Leben Meint Es Gut mit Dir. I am not sure why they didn’t pick a shorter name; this is a part of another discussion.

What surprised me though is how the hell did they manage to get a license to host events in such tiny, tiny basement? The sound was beyond the capacity of the club and the human ear or their acoustics simply sucked big time. Either way it was horrible and this is how you get tinitus, I guess. But that was not all. The guy responsible for “the effects” either wanted to kick us all out or had too much fun playing with the smoke machine and the strobe. There was so much smoke inside that it was really not possible to see the person, dancing in front of you. He combined it with moments of complete darkness and/or going nuts on the strobe. At a certain point of time I had to grab my friend and get us closer to the exit. Horrible, they lost me as a customer! My friends vowed to never go back there again as well.

Oh, and all this came with unpleasant French house! At least my friends realized that not all “techno” sounds the same.
