IVIED

Yes, as I already mentioned someday, I really like Vienna. But Vienna at night is also great. Not only the concerts and other events and locations for going out. I also like walking through the city at night on my way home after going out when all the streets are nearly empty. Like Friday night I walked about half of Margarethenstraße, first to Schikaneder and afterwards to the night bus. By the way there also is a great hip-hop track about “Wien bei Nacht” by Herbe Mischung. You can download it here for free.

Well, so what were my nightly activities this week. Thursday night there was the FM4 Überraschungskonzert with the German band Lichter at Camera Club in Neubaugasse. Well I just knew two of their songs (the ones they got on Myspace) before I went to the concert. And well, they played their best known and greatest song “Leerer Raum” right in the beginning, which I personally think was not such a great idea because after this it couldn’t get much better. So the concert was rather a bit boring because the music isn’t really danceable. I think that the songs may be really great on CD/radio or when performed live at a different location (one with a lot of sitting opportunities). Anyway, the last two songs (“Leerer Raum – Remix”, “Vorstadt”) were great again.

And Friday night (23:00) was the premiere of the Austrian mountainbike film “Ridin the Alps” at Schikaneder. The film was really great and some of the riders that can be seen in the movie were also at the premiere. Go, watch the trailer here!

So this was/is a nice week(end). Ah yes and there also was the Argus Bikefestival with the Vienna Air King at the Rathausplatz but there will be a separate report on that.
