Photo of Mr. Pleasant - Germany's No.1 Kinks Tribut Mr. Pleasant - Germany's No.1 Kinks Tribut "I have seen Mr. Pleasant several times now in the Cologne club scene and was always thrilled by their performance, their joy of playing and the professionalism of the five musicians. Fantastic how they manage the cross-section of 40 years of music by the Kinks with all the great hits of this legendary Britpop band." Translated from German Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia (36 miles from Essen) Thomas Weyer - Clubgig Photo of Garden State, the Jersey Shore Sound Garden State, the Jersey Shore Sound "Review of Garden State band performance during the opening of the Doelum Live season 25/26 29 September 2025. Garden State delivered a convincing and heartwarming concert at Doelum Live. The combination of a tight band, strong vocals and an enthusiastic audience made this Sunday afternoon a celebration for lovers of the energetic, melodious Jersey Shore Sound. With their craftsmanship and their ability to literally get people moving, Garden State proved that they can make a stage of any size vibrate. Anyone who was not there has undoubtedly missed a lively concert afternoon."
