Oomph!

The rock-year 2004 presented just at the beginning a real highlight for the scene: Oomph! were releasing their eighth studio album “Wahrheit oder Pflicht” and proof that their masterpieces “Plasik” (1999) and “Ego” (2001) weren’t the highlights of the 15 years lasting band career. Rather the trio from Braunschweig has lasting established. With the second single out of “Wahrheit oder Pflicht” – “Brennende Liebe” – they made it to place six in the German charts and showed that the number one hit “Augen auf” wasn’t a flash in the pan. As a third single they released “Sex hat keine Macht”. The song was welcomed by the audience on triumphal festival gigs like on M´era Luna, Dynamo or Highfield. Since that single was released in September 2004, there was no musical news from the band. But anyway they played some shows and festivals and are as actual as a year before. Oomph! are Dero (vocals, studio drums), Crap (guitar, studio keyboards) and Flux (guitar, sampling). Additional live musicians: Leo (drums) and Hagen (bass). http://www.oomph.de

Music
Like expected the main focus was on songs out of the latest release. So Oomph! played all the singles as well as a few more songs out of it. It was very obvious that there were not many fans from the old days. The band started with a few older songs and the audience stayed quite reserved. Even though there were some boys and girls… in fact much more girls than boys… that started crowd surfing right at the beginning. People were waking up as with “Burn your eyes” the first song from the recent released was played that evening. Of course Dero, Crap and Flux are acting in the foreground while the additional live musicians Leo and Hagen are acting more in the background. But anyway these additional live instruments give the power which the songs need. The sound was perfect. “Das weiße Licht” started with very intense guitar sounds and the synth lines during the refrain were very clear (even though they came only from tape).
Performance
The guys entered the stage full of enthusiasm again in the well known white suits. While Leo and Hagen too their places in the back of stage, Dero, Crap and Flux moved to the very front. The only song Hagen comes to the stage rim is “Fieber”. From the very beginning the band and especially Dero has a very good contact to the audience, firing them up all the time or holding the microphone over the audience to let people sing into it. As we know it from former concerts, Dero is waving his arms during a few songs (i.e. “Sex hat keine Macht”) that heavy that you might think the power is ripping them off from his body. And of course people are joining into the waving. As the 1-2-3-4 at the beginning of “Keine Luft mehr” sounds through the night, band and audience start jumping at once. At the end of the song Dero just dares to climb down from the high stage to start crowd surfing.
The light show is very well harmonised with the songs; i.e. for “Dein Feuer (your fire)” the stage is covered with red light and for “Das weiße Licht (the white light)” bright white lights cover stage and audience. Well dosed smoke supports the effect. After a few newer songs, it’s finally with “Gekreuzigt” time for some old stuff. For that song very gloomy green and blue light is used. Over and over again, Dero encourages people to jump with statements like “Ich will euch springen sehn (I wanna see you jump)” or “Und jetzt will ich genau jeden hier springen sehen (and now I wane see every single one here jumping)”. And so people on stage and down in the audience are giving everything. At the end of “Niemand”, Dero again goes down to surf the crowd. Well… somehow in former times he managed to go much further into the audience… and to be back on stage before the song is over
The main set ended with “Brennende Liebe” and the Nr.-One hit “Augen auf” which was known also by people who can not be called fans. So, even guys in the very back at the beer stands sang along. For the good bye also Leo and Hagen came to the front of stage to wave good bye and Crap was handing out water bottles for the exhausted audience. As encore the band prepared a funny special… an a-capella medley from songs of the bands playing before (Silbermond) and after (Fettes Brot) Oomph!. In fact the lyrics were totally x-rated so I won’t write them down here.
All in all a very good concert with a very young but enthusiastic audience, too many new and too little old songs, a seldom (or maybe never?) heard political statement: “Nazis raus!” and a very funny encore.
