Neubauten (as they shall be shortened) are a band very dear to my heart and have been with me through the highs, lows and everything in-between. The gig was at The Garage in Highbury (the old Artrocker offices were around the back when I was writing for them, so it was strange to be back in the vicinity.)
First of all we got to watch a documentary on Neubauten which was very interesting even if the seats provided were cripplingly uncomfortable and as a result we left half way through. The bands set itself was short, roughly around 45 minutes as this was the 'warm-down' (for want of a better term) to their main gig the previous night. However short the set was a special experience as the band played songs which were rarities or at least not heard for a very long time. Sand, Seele Brennt and Grundstück among other highlights.
A particularly enjoyable night, this was the second time I've seen Neubauten and I can't wait to see them again. Here's a video from the anniversary evening:
