Liepaja, Latvia - the home of Latvian Rock

Liepaja is the home of Latvian rock. I went out to the Fontaine Palace. Official motto: "Food, Beer, Rock N' Roll".



The first live band was a 90's-style heavy metal band. Everyone was going crazy, and you could see girls' hair flying in synchronized head banging. Sweet. Next set was a DJ who kicked off his set with an electronic remix of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Afterwards an emo band (self-style Nu Metal but yeah right) called Return to Surface was up. They really kicked ass, but their myspace page is the epitome of ridiculousness. Live rock all night - have I died and gone to heaven?
