After a couple more songs from their new album, bass player Sebastian welcomes the audience with a few words in Dutch, which is always very much appreciated! He also admits the band is a bit shy about their English, but they do like “this new thing called Facebook” though and invite everyone to join their group. Nothing wrong with that, but personally, I had difficulty to find out what distinguishes ALPHA ACADEMY from all these other rock bands. The band presents bite-sized rock with no-nonsense lyrics. After a little fine tuning on their sound, we can hear all band members properly balanced and ALPHA ACADEMY gets going. Īlthough not sold out, 013 is already decently crowded when ALPHA ACADEMY takes off with their brand new single ‘Rise & Fall’ from their upcoming album ‘Impossible:Possible’. ALPHA ACADEMY is Dominik Dubik (vocals, guitar), Michael Wenski (guitar, backing vocals), Sebastian Hunger (bass, backing vocals) and Niko Tsagarakis (drums). Also, the band got lucky to be confirmed as support act for the GUANO APES’ “Bel Air” tour. 2012 is expected to be an important year for ALPHA ACADEMY with the release of their next album by the end of February 2012. Their first full-length album entitled ‘The Promise of the Light’ was released soon after in 2010, followed by lots of touring, this time also outside of the German borders in Switzerland and Austria. Following the release of their EP ‘The City is Burning’, ALPHA ACADEMY self-organized a successful tour in Germany. The band’s style can be characterized as alternative rock, with an emotional and catchy sound, described in the band’s own bio as “between Jimmy Eat World and Foo Fighters”. Support tonight is taken care of by the German rock band ALPHA ACADEMY.ĪLPHA ACADEMY is an alternative rock band founded in 2008 in Göttingen, Germany. To my surprise, it wasn’t fully sold out (only NL show) but still the venue was nicely crowded for a Sunday evening.
