YOU NEED TO FEEL BERLIN

picture by Alex Karatzas
The alternative rock band Face of God was for the first time over in Berlin/Germany. After just a couple of hours in Berlin, Leo Stillman frontman of Face of God statement was: "Fuck, Germany is a great country".  The Finnish rock trio played 2 shows: 17.05.2013 Comet Club in Berlin Kreuzberg and 18.05.2013 in Werk 9, Berlin Mitte. They showed their talent on stage: dynamic, energetic and giving everything. The audience of both nights were more than impressed how good a Finnish rock band can be! Nina the amazing vocalist from First Aid for Michael stated: "I loved them. Wow, what a great show. They remind me of my favourite band Biffy Clyro." 

Werk 9 got turned upside down from Face of God. Frontman Leo Stillman was walking into the audience and animated people to clap their hands and dance, he was jumping on top of tabels and interacting with the crowd. The German people were in love with the show. FOG introduced themselves and showed what for amazing musicians they are: Benjamin was first in performing an great bass solo, then Oscu on the drums; beating the shit out of it and last but not least frontman Leo Stillman on the guitar, yep tune it beibis. Both clubs Comet and as well Werk 9 on Saturday was packed. The German audience was very open for the music from Face of God and people were dancing and jumping to the songs. FOG has so many good songs that even 40 min playing time went so fast and people wanted to have more. And jeaaahh sure they got more. "ZUGABE"!!!
Face of God succeeded in both clubs with their show. They felt in love with Berlin and Berlin was falling in love with Face of God. It couldn´t be better!!!

On Saturday 18.05.2013 Face of God had as well a promo shooting with the talented photographer Alex Karatzas from UK. An industrial area of Berlin got collected as photo location. Alex took also pictures during FOG´s live gigs in Berlin. The new promo pictures will be out soon. Till then check out Alex work: www.ampleman.500px.com  "I really enjoyed the shows, Face of God is very talented. You are a bunch of nice people and it was a pleasure to work with you." (Alex Karatzas, Berlin May 2013) 

On Monday 20.05.2013 Face of God was visting the Music TV studio Yagaloo. Howie from Yagaloo was welcoming FOG with coffee and tea? ...No it is Berlin so with coffee and cigaretts. The guys felt like being at home. An acoustic set video with a new song from Face of God got recorded and will come out soon. Howie and also his intern Helge enjoyed FOG´s music. "The singer I would marry immediately" (Howie, Yagaloo, Berlin May 2013).
