What a night ladies and gentleman!
Fresh out of the oven the new Anti-Flag Album, 20/20 Vision, brought the band back to Berlin playing in the legendary SO36 in Kreuzberg.
With the support of The Homeless Gospel Choir starting the night with his rightfully named protest songs and more than funny comments and The Creepshow, who really need their own website BTW, warming up the dancing bodies, Anti-Flag performed one of my favorite concerts in a while.
In a little bit more than one hour, Anti-Flag made statements no one can deny, from “we have to stick together” to Fuck the AFD (an extreme right wing/ Nazi political Party in Germany) and Fuck Trump, which involved all the Punks and Anti-facists in to a communal scream to stand against this evil.
Even Chris Baker´s bass was a statement: “No War in Iran“!
Although the original drummer, Pat Thetic is not a part of this particular tour, the replacement was amazing and didn’t cut short on the solos.
As per usual, we had a Megaphone, speeches and a drum set to support a crazy bassist in the middle of the crowd. What more can you ask for???
Well, if you ask me, they could have played “Finish What We Started” ;P
