FMA 031: Rolo & David (No Altars)

A day before I attended NO ALTARS’ show a friend of mine - Bodo - went out to see them in Cottbus. That show was attended by 7 people. Yes, seven. On a Saturday night. 

NO ALTARS actually even considered not playing at all but Bodo convinced them to play at least a handful of songs. What NO ALTARS went on to do. Further, he informed them that I’d show up the following day to interview them.
Bodo left an striking impression as Rolo and David name him in the video when they talk about the Cancer Benefit "Mosh gegen Krebs" (@ about 03:50).

When Rolo, who sings in NO ZODIAC, David and I walked back to the venue after recording the video David told me that he met Bodo again after curfew in a shady Rock-bar somewhere in Cottbus and he drank some shots with him till early morning and gave him their current CD “Chamber Ov Eternal Punishment”.

As if this would not be enough friendship entanglement of NO ALTARS in my life already:

Another friend of Bodo and me - Felix - once lived near Phoenix, NO ALTARS’ hometown, and that he still considers going back there at some point in his life. David immediately stated: “If he’s there tell him to hit us up. We’re gonna take care of him.”

Good guys. Doubtlessly.

Here you go, Felix. I just made some potential new friends for you.

You’re welcome!

Yours sincerely, Marcus.
