Yesterday I went to a PAULA show. They played at the Maria in Berlin – the final gig of their fall 2006 tour. I’ve known these guys since 2000 and create the website for them. It was a pretty good rock show with front singer Elke Brauweiler who really enjoyed the evening with the band and the fans. The venue was pretty crowded and the fans liked the new interpretations of their hits like Jimmy and Als es passierte as well as their new songs from the current album Ruhig Blut. I only had my cell phone with me, so the video and sound quality is very poor, but watch this if you like to get an idea of the show.
I met Berend who was formerly the so-called mastermind behind PAULA (together with Elke), too. He’s just finished a small Germany tour with his band and is back in Berlin producing the album for guther (morr music) - a project he’s doing together with his steady Julia Guther. Wonderful music! I had the chance to listen to a few songs last night and I’m really looking forward to the release of the new album. You can listen to the last album I Know You Know here.
