on stage end of green break down the borders between artist and audience. with their thoroughly intense performance they transform an ordinary concert situation into a deep and impressive trip. once you witness that insanity – you‘re a fan for life. and this in turn is the fuel for the end of green motor. it‘s like a vicious circle you don‘t want to miss out on. with „the sick‘s sense“, end of green is shifting into sixth gear – always straight ahead but definitely off-highway.
