Parov Stelar and Band Live in Linz

Yesterday, [Frank](http://www.stohl.de), [Frank Martin](http://twitter.com/MrEisele) and myself went to Linz, Austria to see [Parov Stelar and Band](http://www.parovstelar.com) live.
After checking in [Hotel Lokomotive](http://www.hotel-lokomotive.at/) and having some [Wiener Schnitzel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_Schnitzel)s we took the cab to the [Posthof](http://www.posthof.at/).
First, a band called [Da Cruz](http://www.dacruzmusic.com/) played some nice electro acoustic brazilian music. I now am the proud owner of their CD *Nova Estação*. I really like it.
[Manufactur](http://www.manufactur.ch/) was the second band for that evening. Also very good. Listen to their music on their [website](http://www.manufactur.ch/) to get a taste of their music.
Then we got what we came for: [Parov Stelar and Band](http://www.myspace.com/parovstelarband). Oh my god! Let me say it this way: If you have a list with things you absolutely have to do before you die, going to a gig of Parov and his band should definitely be on that list!
Parov StelarUnfortunately, the show had to come to an end sometime but it was totally worth the long trip to Linz.
But... we also got the chance to get to know Parov and his band members in person in the backstage area. They're not only great musicians but also very nice and funny people. Thanks for that awesome night!
To get an impression of that night you should watch these two ([1](http://etagenoir.com/videos/parovstelarbandlive.php),[2](http://etagenoir.com/band/)) videos and have a look at [my flickr set](http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtentacle/sets/72157616037154438/).
