The Stubnitz is an amazing venue. Unfortunately it won´t be in Hamburg too long. Better, it´s travelling through Europe!!

I have now visited the Stubnitz in Amsterdam and Hamburg; two totally different parties though. Underground Electro fun in Amsterdam, and Rock n´Wrestling in Hamburg!
Both absolutely worth it, and don´t worry, even if you´re not a fan of the music, the fact that you´re on a ship makes it entertaining enough.

Check it out!

I was having a quiet night in. I wasn't going to go out, and yet there I was at 3am watching a giant lobster wrestling against a giant cardboard robot on a crazy ship-cum-club while thinking "just another weekend in Hamburg then."

A friend had invited me to "see a metal concert, and American wrestling." What neither of us knew at the time was this was all going to be happening on the Rostock-based Stubnitz ship-club-boat. As it turned out, it was actually "Rock n Wrestling", not metal, but that's by-the-by.

It was certainly a unique experience.

First we saw a bit of music, but then we wandered off to get a good position for the wrestling. Before the wrestling-proper got underway, two random girls got into the ring for a bit of a fight. After the first few minutes they really got into it, throwing their coats to the crowd, which was loving it.

Towards the end of the night, after the first 5 or so boughts, out came "Heidi Hitler" ranting angrily, with a little moustache. Needless to say, the grand finale was all the other wrestlers coming back out and beating her down... lols

I can't guarentee that any other night on the Stubnitz will be anything like this, but it's a pretty cool venue for whatever type of night...
