Yeah, the whole point was to scratch the surface, and lo and behold, Munich does have a vibrant hipster community. My “hipster” I mean the makers, the explorers, not the clichés that is poo-pooed and that Abercrombie and Fitch tries to sell us. The surfer community on the Eisbach standing wave has grown, and we didn’t even go to the Glockenbachviertel which, despite gentrification, still has a vibrant LGBQ community and a night life that clashes with the gentrifiers who complain about the noise.
I didn’t catch the name of the first band we heard, a funny quintet from the Balkans (judging by their name), but the second band, Shred Kelly, was a great Canadian alt-folk band. Go check them out at http://shredkelly.com
