Hafen Open Air – Can’t Buy Me Love – Photos


On August 16th 2013 we played the Hafen Open Air in Austria, on the shores of River Danube (hafen = harbour). On our set list we included Can’t Buy Me Love which we filmed and uploaded to YouTube a few months later. That video has turned 6 years old on September 14th and has been watched over half a million times, so we thought it fitting to revisit that day in picture form.

Below you can find all the photos from the day. We played the show with Robin Gadermaier on the bass and Philipp Wolf on the drums. Halfway through an ORF (Austrian national public service broadcaster) film team came on stage to capture some of the performance for a news special.

And here’s a little quiz for you: You should be able to recognise one of the pictures. Which one and where from?

  1. Picture 5, on MLT mouse pad and Bam 1.
    Can’t Buy Me Love is a wonderful Cover. Such a fun song and you both seem to really be enjoying yourself. Thank you for all your amazing music and for having all of us wrapped around your finger. ?❤

  2. All great pictures. I recognize several, but I don’t know from where. (My brain is like my filing system for music. All shook up.) Thank you very much… for sharing the photos.

  3. Question: is it a requirement for whoever plays bass on your gigs that they use your dad’s red Hofner bass?

    1. It’s perfect for the overall band sound we’re going for, looks great and plays easy. It’s just the ideal instrument for our line-up so we usually ask bassists to play it at live shows. So far, everyone quickly fell in love with it 🙂

  4. I love seeing these pictures! Thank you for posting!
    I can think of 3 things you can find that picture on. One of them has already become a collectors item.

    1. The Golden Ton guitar strap that Mona is using with her RicK?

      1. Well spotted 😉

  5. Gotta Dig these photos…. You have me thinking, though I’m half asleep, soon heading to get my nighttime Zzzzs… Perhaps I’ll figure out the little mystery you’ve mentioned here in this posting when my brain is in new day awake mode…. By 9-10am….lol….Luv the Live Gig shots… Lol… It’s funny to see a film crew filming you yet in turn they get their photos taken…. Thankyou for sharing, Good Evening.. Time for Zzzzzland… Goodnight!!

  6. The picture? Oh I know, but I don’t want to spoil the fun. I have it in my office, and use it every day! 🙂 These pictures capture that outdoor performance atmosphere with the wind catching your hairs. You both look spectacular on stage!

    1. This cool MLT mousepad has been an office fixture for the last year. Was also a conversation piece with a co-worker who liked the image. She and her husband are big Beatles and Beach Boys fans.
