Octoberman returned to Zürich with with a full band. After their show at Cafe Henrici, lead-man Mark hit the streets by himself and performed his song "Eddie and Rita". I love the lens flares in this video:

Here are two more videos in the Presented by Cafe Henrici series, this time with the country/folk duo Rita Hey. We found a cozy alley in the Niederdorf and they played two songs:
Professional Lovers by Rita Hey
I Am Here To Stay by Rita Hey
Later that evening Rita Hey performed at Cafe Henrici. You can see them perform Heavy Metal Relationship on Youtube. I really enjoyed their performance, and their album We Know You Well, Sweet Misery is also very good.

On September 28th the Portuguese Blues/Folk band A Jigsaw came through Zürich on their European tour. In addition to their gig at Cafe Henrici, I also filmed a couple of live videos with them. It is hard to describe just how great these guys are. Just have a watch:
Red Pony by A Jigsaw
Return to Me by A Jigsaw
I must admit that A Jigsaw is one of my favorite acts that has played at Henrici so far. Their album "Like the Wolf" is also very good. You can buy it from their online store or on iTunes.
Negishi.
A Negishi Coupling is a kind of chemical reaction named after Ei-ichi Negishi who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010 along with Akira Suzuki and Richard F. Heck.
A few weeks ago Jeff Bryant of the Canadian duo The Human Statues came through Zürich to play a gig at Cafe Henrici. The next day we got together and made a couple of videos in the Niederdorf. The first song was tricky for me because I was walking backwards:
The Man on the Radio by The Human Statues
The second song was tricky for Jeff because this time, he had to walk backwards. Playing guitar while walking backwards is probably harder than holding a camera.

It's been a while since my last Pocket Cam entry, and this one is the least "pocket" of them all because I happened to have my tripod and my Zoom H1 with me at the time:
