Hanzel Und Gretyl Interview Described as a “Neue Deutsche Härte” (new German hardness/ dance metal) band, Hanzel und Gretyl are stopping off in Newcastle on October 15 at The Cluny during their European Tour. We had a little chat with Kaiser Von Loopy and Vas Kallas (both actually American) : JO: Hi, we’re looking forward to seeing you at the Cluny in October, looking forward to your European tour? Vas: Greetings! YES!  We’re looking forward to our yearly adventure throughout Europe and very stoked that we are coming back to the UK and this time to Newcastle!!

The show started with Momento Mori, a band of 3 with a Numanesque sound bolstered by a bass and a guitar.  In fact, the frontman looks as though his mum may have met up with Gary back in the day, something about the eyes....They sounded good, I will have to revisit the CD I got of theirs a couple of years ago.
