Laibach
In the summer of 2015, LAIBACH was the first western band to play a concert in North Korea. No one really knows whether it was an act of subversion or if the band from Slovenia became the hand of a totalitarian regime. Last Wednesday, the 19th of April, LAIBACH played at the symposium “The Extreme Center” at the Volksbühne in Cologne. The event focused on the resilience of the extreme right in Europe.

Rotersand, Future Lied To Us & Mehr Licht
After the release of the excellent album ‘Capitalism TM’, ROTERSAND is on tour again and of course I needed to see them live again knowing that I can expect a great evening entertainment. During the night in Oberhausen, ROTERSAND was supported by FUTURE LIED TO US and MEHR LICHT.

Simple Minds & KT Tunstall
After reviewing the splendid acoustic album of the band I was very eager to experience these songs live. As the actual date in Essen was quickly sold out I was more than happy that we got the accreditation for the additional concert at the same venue.

Assemblage 23
As I had the pleasure to review the latest, and in my eyes excellent, album I was very much looking forward to see ASSEMBLAGE 23 at the Kulttempel and find out how the new songs are working live. Tom Shear founded this Seattle, US, based project in 1988 after he experienced the Industrial Dance music by an opening DJ for DEPECHE MODE. This kind of sound inspired him deeply so that he wanted to create such music himself in the future. Starting formerly as more of a hobby his music finally attracted attention of record labels in 1998. Only in 1999 he signed to a Canadian label but signed two years later to the US Metropolis Records label where his first albums have been re- released. In the beginning the music of ASSEMBLAGE 23 was instrumental as Tom Shear didn’t dare to sing but eventually he started to add vocals to his songs. Eighth studio album, six singles, an EP, and two compilations have been launched. http://www.assemblage23.com / https://www.facebook.com/Official-Assemblage-23-138651156153800/
