Ain't Life Grand: Black Friday 2011 USA Tour

For nearly three years, D and I have been following an awesome EBM artist from Hamburg, Germany. We've listened to him get progressively awesome in that time in ways that few artists allow themselves to grow. And while his skill is superb, he has said time and again, despite constant prodding from us and the rest of his US fanbase, that he would never do a US tour...

Until now.

Last week, Faderhead started a US tour to follow his Black Friday release. That is an excellent album, by the way, and I suggest it to just about anyone. He had a stop in San Antonio, so D and I made it a point to go party on a Monday night. You can actually see us in the crowd on that video. And it did not disappoint! Despite being "the smallest stage he's ever been on" (and it was comically small), he completely blew the roof off that club.

I've been waiting for 3 years for that. "Now is the time to be there."

Ain't life grand?
