Music & Performance
Anyone who has ever attended a concert of IAMX was surprised by the relatively bright stage. Usually this is kept rather dark, but this time there were three big LED walls set up in the background. The band entered the stage dressed in masks. Chris Corner wore a spiky headgear and a mask, while drummer Jon Siren sat behind his drum kit with rabbit ears. Janine Gezang wore a tight sexy outfit, a rubber mask and danced very agilely behind her keyboard. Many of the songs came in a new style, but were still celebrated by the fans. The songs seemed even more experimental and Chris himself was very open to the audience. While he sang, he danced across the stage or turned the knobs of his suitcase.
In the aluminium case with IAMX imprint were synthesizers and mixers, with which he constantly played and adjusted the sound. Besides songs from the new album like ‘The X ID’ or ‘Fault Lines’, the band also played early classics. Also ‘Happiness’ and ‘Bernadette’ from 2011 got an acoustic modernization that evening. New and also old fans got to see a Chris Corner that evening, who showed his fun with music.
