Friday,
August 2, Bad Doberan.
The first
day of the festival.
There’s all sort of visitors at Zappanale. Most people try to arrive one day in advance. It’s more relaxed and you do have the warm-up party to welcome you to town.

A whole lot
of music freaks do, however, arrive on the first official day of the festival,
the first day at the festival ground.
The biggest
disadvantage for some of the people of this latter group, is that they usally
arrive somewhere in the afternoon. In other words, they’re missing the first
concert(s) of the day.
At
Zappanale, that could be a pity.
Fortunately,
the 2013 edition of Zappanale was more laid-back that its predecessor. The
first band was scheduled to get on stage at 15:00 h.
I got there early. Early enough to go to the camping site and to stop at Steffen’s for a fine cup of coffee. Perfect.

This year,
Swiss band Anton And The Headcleaners opened, and boy, they were good.
Zappa-esque twists and turns, with the spotlight on the guitar. I loved it.
The set got spiced with a couple of Zappa tunes. I couldn’t have asked for more.
As my pal Steve said: “It’s like stepping on a motorbike and going for a ride. Love that drive.”
