Austria won the ESC :D

I think it's pretty cool that Austria won the ESC (Eurovision Song contest) 2014! ... I loved the message about tolerance, Conchita Wurst carried out, :)

To be honest I didn't expect her to win... I said to my mum: “Well she's going to be noticed but is that enough?” (That was when I didn't know the song. I don't like checking out the songs before, because it is more of a surprise if you don't listen to them until the actual show!)...

Austria even got points from countries which I didn't expect to give any points at all!

Did you know that Austria participated in the ESC about 47 times and only won this show 1x before this year's show? Last time Austria won was back in 1966! The winning song in 1966 was "Merci Chérie" by Udo Jürgens

The first time Austria participated in the ESC was in 1957, the song was "Wohin, kleines Pony" by Bob Martin.

For me Conchita Wurst's song "Rise Like a Phoenix" feels like it could be the soundtrack for a Bond movie... I mean it's pretty awesome ;)

XTRAVAGANZA staging Leigh Bowery

First things first, something you might want to know: "Who was Leigh Bowery and what was he famous for?"..
He was an Australian performance artist, club promoter, actor, pop star, model and fashion designer, who was living in London.
If you want to know more there's a documentary on YouTube called "The Legend of Leigh Bowery"
The exhibition showed some of his dressed and many, many clips with interviews, music videos and more. They also displayed pictures and some of his accessories. I really liked it, it was really interesting!

Boy George's song "Ich bin Kunst (I am art)" (which I really like!) is a song about Leigh Bowery
Leigh also made some music himself: Raw Sewage - Walk this way (warning: this video shows nudity)

The Rasmus live@ppc in Graz

What an amazing show! 

The support band was "The Dirty Youth", I didn't know that band before. They're from the UK. Dirty Youth was a good support. They weren't bad at all, they showed a lot of power and the audience enjoyed their show!

I made a few pictures and videos of their performance (pictures are at the bottom of the post)

The Rasmus rocked the stage as well :). It was my first The Rasmus concert ever and I can only say that I would go to their concert again!  They played some old songs and some new songs. I wish I could've taken more videos, but my arm screamed "no” ;), holding up the camera all the time can be quite exhausting for your arm!

Die Ärzte @TipsArena Linz

I was at the Die Ärzte concert this Sunday. They didn’t have any support band, but hey, they don’t really need one ;)!
The show lasted almost 3! Hours. It was so much fun. I didn’t expect them to perform for 3 hours, luckily I could sit down, cause I bought the seating ticket.
