…because it got cancelled for obvious reasons. So I took some time to go through pictures from 20 years of Fluff Fest, kind of a Best Of (note that I only photographed Bands that I really like(d)):
The Robocop Kraus. 2002.
Ampere. 2010.
Sport. 2014.
Erica Freas. 2016.
Burn. 2017.
Spirits. 2018.
…title. This serves as a dedication to all the great bands I saw and listened to recently. Also to some of the people I went to the shows with. Emma, Björn, Edvard.
Martha in Hamburg. Hafenklang.
YC CY at Fluff-Fest 2019.
Chaviré at Fluff Fest 2019.
…as every year. Some views on Fluff Fest – the place, some friends, some bands:

Another report in pictures and thoughts about Fluff Fest. Yes, I went and did enjoy it to my surpirse! There is just so much going on and I get annoyed by people there pretty easy, as I mentioned before. But the Fest also holds enough good things for me like meeting nice people and getting to know new bands (Past, Rutka Laskier). Here is what happens if you use very old film (that I got for my birthday)…
First… RVIVR. People talked to me about the band before… already comparing them to those bands coming over from the US on a regular basis to tour and probably live from playing music while becoming too routined. But what happened at Fluff Fest on stage was far from that. In fact, it was the best solution to that problem I have and had when going to the Festival the years before: So many people – and not just likeminded! – with so many tattoos and t-shirts with slogans transforming what people call Punk or Hardcore into a fashion-show. Now, for the people reading this and having no idea of what I am writing about… RVIVR are – and were on this evening – just a great and energetic band that still has something to say on stage and continues to do so (queerness, feminism, changing for the better… you name it)! More then music? Stay tuned for more photographs and (maybe) thoughts, too.
