Club Action Since The 90s

DuoLia., Liquid Earth, Manic Youth   

Gürtel Nightwalk XXVII, Vienna, Austria 20250830

In 1998, the Gürtel Nightwalk took place for the very first time. Now, in its twenty-seventh edition, the traditional Vienna Music fest has again more to offer then it is possible to visit. 

So at the most northern open air stage next to the B72, Tape Capitol presents Orange Skies as starter. Unfortunately, the sky does not hold the rain back, and so Manic Youth have the water coming down the umbrellas and not the best sound. Still many watch the show of the band, that went on heavy rotation on fm4 with a Sugababes cover one year ago. 

Walking the line to Josefstädter Straße, we pass by Monza Blitz accompanying live visuals by Joanna Coleman and DJ Rich Parents at Kubus Export. Target is the Café Carina, where Liquid Earth deliver their relaxing „Slow Grown“ „Teufelsmusik“, made to let yourself fall and drift away like when supporting Mothers Of The Land. 

Stepping out again, hit by the fuzz, the rhiz open air would be right across the street, and Glazed Curtains a little bit way down at Chelsea. On the other side, the Felsenkeller of the Café Concerto is waiting with a concert of DuoLia., who start right away with „Watch Me“. 

In May, they have released their debut full-length album „In The Morning Light“ at Sargfabrik featuring songs like „Trees“, „Go Back To Sleep“ or „Grey“. An older single is „Hold Me One Last Time“ and the crowded room likes to sing with them. More live action would continue with likes of Sun State Of Mind at Lucia or Für Chiara at Loop. 

Anyway the Gürtel is far from sleeping, with DJ lines at Kramladen, Coco or Roter Bogen. And so the Nightwalk goes on until the early morning, celebrating music in clubs.
