Unchain (SWI), Tierrax (SWI)
Life is always happening to unforeseen things. One plans something in advance and
organizes and suddenly disaster strikes. It was about IRON-T21 with their last winter
concert at Rockfact Music Club. The band Crossover Blues Band had to cancel their
appearance and you had to find a second band to fill the gap. The line-up became
complete again with Tierrax. They played together for the first time with Dizzip as
support act of Gloria Volt at Rockfact Music Club three years ago.
Tierrax had the honor to open the evening. The band members entered the stage
on 9:15 PM. „Welcome To The Show“ sounded after an intro and marked the musical
direction: 80’s hard rock with a sleaze touch.
Singer Olivia presented herself as rock-singer and reminded vocally of Blues Pills lead singer Elin Larsson. Furthermore she
convinced with stage presence and charisma. The guitarists Andi und Robi provided the heavy sound and bassist Fönzu
grooved on the bass. The performance enthralled the audience, because the music was catchy. The spectators could take
a breath briefly by „Prisoner“ before the speed came back. It stayed that way until the last song „On My Way“. The band
members obtained much applause for their show and left a good impression.

Headliner Unchain entered the stage after a short break. „Ain’t Coming Home“ sounded and a portion of live action
followed. Bassist Emi and the guitarist Mike and Marco had guitar duels with each other. The spectatores reacted
enthusiastic. The speed slowed down by Living Colour hit„Love Rears Its Ugly Head“ and increased immediately. Very
good and „Happy Day“ followed after The Animals hit „House of the Rising Sun“. The Poison hit „Nothing But A Good
Time“ got played to create party vibes. Singer Tom lived the music with passion and devotion and showed a brilliant vocal
performance. Bassist Emi left the stage to get in touch with the spectators. What was shown here was simply outstanding.
Actually the members wanted leave after „Too Much Too Young“, but the audience didn’t want it. Encores followed. With
the Robert Palmer cover „Bad Case of Loving You“ and „The Pretender“ the performance ended with the Neil Young hit
„Keep On Rocking In A Free World“. Unchain were adopted with much applause and left a lasting impression that is
outstanding. Rarely have you experienced such an energetic performance. That’s the way hard rock has to be performed
live.

After the concert ended, you could buy from Unchain their current album „Plug & Play“. It’s also a nice gesture by the
band members to sign CDs on request. A pity hadn’t been more spectators. It was a great night at Rockfact Music Club.
