The Anacondas

The Anacondas on tour, Oct. 2007 - Part Three

Monday,Oct 15th. We picked up the fellows of Calaveras at their practice room in Chemnitz. We were excited to meet them, 'cause we had to put up with these guys for the next 5 shows. The first show of that row was in Zittau at the Emil. The Anacondas was the first band that night. After that the Calaveras played; I've heard some tracks from their CD so I kinda knew what to expect, but what I've seen here totally blew me away... They're a seven piece band from Chemnitz, East-Germany, playing totally cool spaghetti-western orientated Americana. Something like a cross between Calexico, The Sadies and Hank Williams. Besides their great musical capabilities, they're sympathetic "no problemo" kinda guys. How cool these people may seem, how bad drivers they were for they almost wrecked their van just by parking it... Our promotors did a good job to hook us up together for the rest of the tour.
