First of all, the venue was incredible! An old factory-turned-toy-shop-turned-nightclub, it’s a five-minute bus ride from town. Conrad Sohm provided shuttle busses before an after the show, which was excellent. It was a very hot day, and they also brought water to those queuing and to the crowd before the show. Sound quality was excellent, as well.
The band itself—Giant Rooks—is unbelievable. Their energy on stage is unreal and their music is absolutely incredible. Especially noteworthy are Fred’s (the frontman) acrobatics. He jumps on top of the piano, runs around the stage, stands on the barrier, and even danced IN the crowd at one point. The interplay between band members is also amazing—you can see and hear the cohesion. Truly a must-see group for any lover of live music.

Giant Rooks Biography
In 2015, singer Frederik Rabe, guitarist Finn Schwieters, bassist Luca Göttner, keyboardist Jonathan Wischniowski, and drummer Finn Thomas founded Giant Rooks. Their accomplishments have multiplied impressively since then. They won a 1LIVE-Krone Award, a seven-figure group monthly listeners on Spotify, and have sold out concerts everywhere from Rome to Paris to Manchester. In Germany, they're already filling venues other artists only have on their tour schedules after 15 years in the scene. Yet with just three EPs, Giant Rooks seem to sell them out every time and are probably the most promising band to come out of Germany in a long time. They took their time with their debut. Having played more than 350 shows in recent years has given them endless possibilities to refine their own sound.
With "Rookery", the band freed themselves from the idea of how things are "supposed" to be done. The result sounds unified and whole – sounds like 2020 – and spans a frame of reference that's at least unique in German-speaking countries. The beats always sound like Kanyesque hip hop and the song structures even occasionally bring Bob Dylan to mind. The soundscapes are influenced by Bon Iver. The band playfully combines modern influences with classical structures and classical sounds with modern song structures. When it comes to playing music, as well as listening to it, Giant Rooks aren't looking to fit into any one genre or emulate anyone.
