Kammgarn – Cotton Club, Kaiserslautern, Germany
2nd September 2005
Faun - Renaissance Tour 2005 & Gothic Slide Show

The beginning of the new season started with a “dark highlight” in the Cotton Club. Faun presented their new Album “Renaissance” and Thomas Adorff showed some of his Gothic Portraits before the show began.  The small club was filled with a lot of Goth people in any age - from teens up to some pensioners. The mood in the club was filled with fantasy flair. The stage was spangled with some ivy branches and filled with dark blue and green lights.

Music
The show began with an exiting intro by Neil, while everyone from the band was coming up to the stage. Lisa was presenting the first songs for this evening and was quickly assisted by Fiona. They harmonized like two elves together. Faun combined some ancient instruments together with the modern synth sounds and so they create a drifty and magical mood, far away from the common mediaeval bands. Each of the members is specialized in his own instruments… Neil is the man on the computer, while Rudi played the percussions and drums. Oliver is the singer and played the instruments like the harp or the lute. The two beautiful ladies are singing and playing the flutes, bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy. So they had really a lot of instruments on the stage and they changed them for nearly every song.


Performance
I think directly from the beginning of the show, Faun was impressed by this small but good filled venue! The audience incited them, and so the ice was broken really fast. A good humoured band enjoyed to present their new album. The interaction between the whole members was really friendly and you could see that they like playing their songs! They danced together on the stage and the audience celebrated them. The lightshow in this small club was really good and the audience could enjoy a dark and mystery mood with some cool light effects. But unfortunately the lightshow was most of the time behind the band… so it was really difficult for me to take some pics.
