DEVIN TOWNSEND is a true musical chameleon and undoubtedly one of the most versatile artists in modern Progressive music. The Canadian singer, guitarist, and producer, who has released over 30 albums throughout his career, moves effortlessly between sonic extremes: from brutal extreme metal to bombastic progressive rock to ethereal ambient.

The Secret Cameras - Support: Nothing New & MTTM
Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing three bands at a venue in Stoke Newington called The Waiting Room. It’s not too far away from home and is around the corner from Abney Park Cemetery. I’ve visited numerous times in the past, the last time being before the plague hit and subsequent lock downs, I think. Anyway, the bands were NOTHING NEW, never heard of them, MTTM, never heard of them, and SECRET CAMERAS which I have. So, a varied mix of Synth Wave, Post Punk and Alt Rock to titillate the sense for a few hours. It turned out to be around four hours. And I came away impressed for the most part and satiated. Let’s get stuck in!

Christine Plays Viola - Support: Long Night & Last Dusk
Tonight at the Hope & Anchor CHRISTINE PLAYS VIOLA did a warm up show before they played at Bats In The Attic Festival in Morecambe, Lancashire on Saturday 19th September. They been busy recently touring around Europe promoting their album ‘F.I.V.E’ (‘Fear Increases Violent Emotions’), tonight ably supported by Costa Rica’s LAST DUSK & Norway’s LONG NIGHT who are also on the bill at Bats In The Attic. CHRISTINE PLAYS VIOLA I’ve known for a while but the other two? This is the first time I’ve come across them so my night was a mix of familiarity and new territory, I was pleasantly surprised...

Klez.e - “Einmal mehr mit Dir gegen die Furcht” Tour 2026
What could be better to start the dark autumn season than sounds that perfectly fit the setting: more than two hours of gloomy German songs with lyrics against fear, not only during the spooky season, but in times that can be scary to live in. KLEZ.E proved to be the perfect soundtrack for exactly that when they brought their “Einmal mehr mit Dir gegen die Furcht” tour to Hamburg’s Hafenklang on 24th September 2026.

Cake - “An Evening with Cake Tour 2026”
Fans of the American, genre-bending band CAKE have had to wait 15 years for a live tour in Germany - but that wait is finally over! This autumn, the group led by lead singer John McCrea is also scheduled to release their ninth studio album, and they scheduled a European tour with two gigs in Germany. Arriving at the venue, fans were informed by countless signs and an announcement before the gig’s start, that taking pictures and videos would result in immediate expulsion from the venue.

Batschkapp, Frankfurt, Germany22nd September 2026
Black Stone Cherry - “The Celebrate Tour 2026” - Special Guest: 10 Years
It was already obvious at the doors that there was a lot of interest in this evening. I arrived at Batschkapp right on time for doors open and was immediately greeted by a long queue of fans waiting to get inside. Although the Batschkapp website initially stated that tickets would still be available at the box office, it did not take long until the show was officially sold out.
