Back in the 90ies, Therapy? represented the cool side of
MTV. Along with Beavis & Butthead (you guys still RRRRRULLLLEE!), MTV was
consistently supportive of all the grundge and alternative rock acts of these times. Therapy? was huge on MTV these days, and I enjoyed their songs and vidos. But with the demise of Grunge
Rock, the band also went out of the spotlight.

Thanks to
another gig blog in the web,
I could trace back my first Therapy? gig in the famous flex - in 2006,
when all the glimmer of MTV was already gone. Otherwise there are no
memorabilia left (no ticket, no merchandize, no nothing), but I still
remember it to be a very good gig.
I do not remember the support band, seemed to be Rokkitahti from Austria, but I am missing any memory here, sorry guys :-).
With all the hype left behind, Therapy? came to Vienna to rock out. The venue is flex, famous for its massive PA, and it is packed and hot as hell. The band plays very loud, I must admit, too loud from time to time. As expected, their music is solid straight-forward Easy Punk. The band wins the crowd with their first song altogether. Of course, their songs from 'Troublegum' are what nearly everybody is waiting for, but also the newer songs nicely fit into their setlist. So all in all, great stuff here, and I go home with a quite massive hum in my ears.
