Best concert of the year; And One
Sunday, June 1st, 2008*Link to pictures is in the end of the post
Friday, May 30th, I went to the And One Concert, an old Synthpop/EBM band from Germany.
The concert was in Barby Tel Aviv. I was very much surprised to find the place full!. knowing that the gothic scene in Israel is growing, I still didn’t expect the place to be packed.
Although the whole organization was terrible, the great 2 hours(!!!) concert was the best one I saw this year.
On the Barby site, the opening time was 22:00. Knowing the Barby, I knew that the opening band will not start before 23:00. We arrived at that time, at the entrance we were told that no cameras are allowed and that we must leave the cameras in the car. As the Barby being in the south side of town, I didn’t want to have the chance of getting my camera stolen from the car. After some phone calls and arguments, I entered the Barby (Happy Happy me). The opening band - - went on stage only at 23:30- a bit late. Being happy that And One are in Israel, The keyboard Player being hot and the singer even more, we didn’t care too much.
They gave a fun show, and now we were prepared for And One… unfortunately And One only went on stage at 1:00 am!, we waited around an hour after the opening band, and 3 hours from what was published!!
And One got on stage, full of energy. Other than having good songs they sure know how to perform! Steve Naghavi, (the singer) is also a great dancer and really knows how to make contact with the audience, especially in Hebrew. It seemed that he knows allot of words such as "bira", "Shalom" and some uncommon words such as "Shilshol"… 
Other than doing allot of old songs, they did covers of Alphaville, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics and some more… making it more fun for people that don’t know allot of their songs. They gave a concert of 2 hours, which was very energetic and most of it I, and the rest of the audience where dancing and going wild…
I would like to thank for making this evening happen. after I was lucky to see And One, In Strict Confidence and Hocico in Israel, I hope to see Blutengel
