You know being positively surprised is one of the best feelings there is.

The other day I went to this music venue here in Dortmund with Fernanda expecting to watch a Mastodon concert, no big deal.

Like, Mastodon was fucking great and all, no surprises there, but what we ALSO got was an excellent, entertaining as fuck performance by opening band De Staat.

The bass part in particular was NUTS. Loud, heavy and groovy. It’s something that unfortunately can’t be easily reproduced on video, but I think you can get a decent feel how they are on the stage.

Favorite tracks: Input Source Select, Pikachu.
