Bloooooody Hell What a Night!

I wanted to leave the venue after the HuGs set because i was so blown away! They were so fukken amazing!

Firstly, I'll write what the set list was, i can't remeber the exact order of it, and there was one i didn't know which they played at the end (maybe a new one???)

it was something like:

Fukken Uber Death Party
Stern Krieg
Fick Dich Mit Fire
Third Reich From the Sun
Disko Fire Schiesse Messiah
And We Shall Purify
Ich Bin Uber Alles
SS Deathstar Supergalactik
(And then the New one)

It was so amazing! Loads of people actually new the words, which was quite suprising as i didn't expect so many people to know them!

They got a Huge reception, with probably the biggest mosh/circle pit of the night, Everyone loved them.

The only bad thing was the shitty sound levels Which meant the drumming was waaayyy too loud (which was jon ostermann still who is fucking AMAZING and should join them permentatly) Loopys mic was fucked and too quiet so the first couple of songs you couldn't here him.

But they were so charismic! Jumping around and entertaining the crowd and getting them all involved, Loopy tried to crowd surf... first time to fail because he had his guitar, the second more succsessful. He chucked the mic into the crowd as it kept falling over and hitting him lmao.

The Songs were amazing, perfectly played.

Afterwards when waiting to get back home, I heard loads of people with good points with HuG saying they were really good and so on, lmao and saying how hot vas kallas was .

So i really do think that they should come back with their own tour with them headlining as i think they are very popular here now.

Greatest night of my life. I think that sums it up basically.

I can't write anymore as i'm tired as fuck lol.

EARTH YEAR 1993

Exploration of the future gave birth to Hanzel ünd Gretyl. Kaiser Von Loopy and Vas Kallas fixated on a machine approach to music that has since popularized the infamous quote "Machines Good, People Bad." As the human element of musicians fell apart from their former band projects (including Cycle Sluts From Hell), Vas and Loopy were left in the deep black forest of the music business and it was only natural to take on the personas of the fairy tale "Hanzel ünd Gretyl." What a concept! A futuristic, post apocalyptic, extra terrestrial German fairy tale... Hanzel ünd Gretyl. Each release tells a chapter to the story.


EARTH YEAR 1995

Their first album AUSGEFLIPPT was released on Energy Records. The album, translating to "flipped-out" in German, received great reviews, while their dance single "Shine 2001" reached #1 position on the ALTERNATIVE PRESS Dance Chart. The duo formed a live band, recruiting Ginger Bread on bass and Pat 5000 on drums.

After receiving a plethora of positive reviews, HüG were coined as the "metal industrial band with a great sense of humor" who stood out amongst all the rest. MARILYN MANSON took an interest in HüG and invited them mon tour as support with CLUTCH in 1995 and in direct support in 1996. This opportunity catapulted HüG into the public eye with great admiration.


EARTH YEAR 1997

TRANSMISSIONS FROM URANUS was released, and that tour took them through-out the US as a headliner, and as direct support for bands PRONG, SLIPKNOT, and ROB HALFORD. AUSGEFLIPPT and "9D Galactic Center" were played on K-ROCK RADIO stations and "Robot Logik" on the HOWARD STERN show during station ID's, used in the blockbuster movie MORTAL KOMBAT: Annihilation, and played during the 1997 MTV MUSIC AWARDS.

HüG paved the way for US newcomers, RAMMSTEIN, at the CMJ Music Festival in NYC, solidifying the Deutsche-American Fruendshaft. It opened the doors for success on RAMMSTEIN's first ever American tour, with HüG direct support in 1998.


EARTH YEAR 2002

After the close of Energy Records, a new day dawned for HüG leaving them legally free, and signed with Metropolis Records.


EARTH YEAR 2003

Their much anticipated third epic album, ÜBER ALLES saw the light of day, as well as an entirely new live band line-up, including the additions of Anna K. (DRAIN STH) and Jon Osterman (INTO DARKNESS). ÜBER ALLES, served up in the style of a misplaced Wagnerian space-metal opera lost in time, chewed up by distorted synthetic filters and pummeled by a million homicidal robot drums manipulated by mastermind Loopy, and the much feared Vas Kallas. The album received rave reviews musically, pulled Four Star Reviews in KERRANG and equally enthusiastic accolades from New York City's VILLAGE VOICE. HüG performed an extremely successful head-lining tour, and toured as direct support to the GENITORTURERS.


EARTH YEAR 2004 - 2005

SCHEISSMESSIAH was released on Metropolis Records. No longer innocent in the deep black forest, but powerful and sturdy in sound and message - HüG survives the wicked witches of the world and continues to bring pleasure and pain amongst a HüG world! Their music products were picked up by HOT TOPIC and iTunes, so that now the HüG message is even more widely distributed. The album is hailed as required listening for fans of industrial metal along side Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Ministry by REVOLVER MAGAZINE! Appearing as direct support to MINISTRY to push their new album, they played 2000 - 3000 capacity venues to sold out shows, receiving an overwhelmingly positive crowd response (think Deutsche-Freuleins gone wild!) Mark Baker (MINISTRY) joined the HüG team as drummer thereafter.


EARTH YEAR 2006

HüG were recently cited SPIN magazine as 'the only reason to go to a festival like Gothicfest'. They secured new management with Dark Moon Entertainment, and are in the studio recording a teaser CD for their autumn "OKTÖTENFEST 2006" fest
