So, feeling quite a lot better I decided to go see the above two bands at the Camden Koko last night. Powerquest were up first and I have to say, theyre an awesome band, the singer was dressed rather out of place which looked cool lol. White and gold italian style shirt and black patterned trousers that were all swirly. Short styled hair, everyone else dressed in black with hair past their shoulders
Anyway I thought they played great, the sound levels for the vocals were a bit off but they were like that all night. Helloween were after, they were alright, not my favourite band but they seemed to play well. They had a damn cool drum solo with double bass going fast pretty much nonstop throughout it for a good 7 mins at least lol. They played mr torture and if i could fly which I like but other than that it was just a bit average. They were a cool band and showy but something didnt quite make it for me. Partle the fat old german men in the crowd that didnt have the power metal spirit in them, they just had to do everything they could to get theyre photos, which were very crap anyway lol. So just before the encores I went and got myself a drink and went up on the balcony for a bit, the koko is a cool venue like that. Then went and hung around the bar for a bit until the gig finished. Not a bad night overall though.
My mate Sam liked it more than me, read it about here on his blog.
