VAN HELLSING - Celestial Beggars EP 2003

The first side project from EA80 bassist Oddel called: Van Hellsing. Unfortunately, this is their only release to date (SwampRoom Records, 1000 copies) and I remember the concert in the cold February 2009 in Aachen, me and my beloved girl drove out there and I had terrible headaches and I already wanted to go back home but it was a wonderful exhilarating evening. Three bands were announced, the first is not worth talking about and when The Landlords entered the stage my mood was transformed and the beer suddenly tasted good. By the way, very charming people, the Landlords, bought here their first record and after good 45 minutes then Van Hellsing enter the stage and with their dirty garage rock & roll sound they got to boil the AZ. Galactic Appearance!!! After the gig we had a lot of fun and it was a long long night, ohh I remember it so well.....So if you have the chance to see them live, go and be amazed, but you must be lucky because they are finished but maybe they come back for a short blitz. So enjoy now four groovy numbers and let it rip.
