Comfortably sprawled on the sofa or armchair, with a cold beer in the hand, in front driving entertainment – that's the way to live. In the wings of the capitol theater, where people normally watch hollywood blockbusters and love stories on the big screen, visitors on friday evening were treated to something completely different: "soul jam" was the name of the show, "minimal", "timeless" and "crash unplugged stood on the stage and showed that for good live music you only need to step in front of the house.
Since april 2011 there is the "ohrenkino", which the music initiative habberge and the capitol theater zeil with their boss bruno schneyer organized biannually untilland. Their goal: "to give young bands from the region the opportunity to perform on stage", as michael lorz from the music initiative explained. Bruno schneyer, owner of the zeiler kino, adds that they want to make sure there is a mix of up-and-coming and already established bands – to create exchange.
Young professionals
What status the bands had on this evening, was sometimes hard to find out for the visitors. For despite their youth, they all seemed like old hands in the music business and proved that in the cinema, even without a screen and a film reel, things can really take off.
