Halle Münsterland, Münster, Germany
9th April 2015
Deichkind

A show of DEICHKIND just means party, including beer shower and bumping beats. Surely, the Hamburg based band is one of the best German live acts and their shows are always a big celebration. Lots of people usually are heading to the concerts and so, the show in Münster was of course sold out, like so many others…

Paaspop, Schijndel, The Netherlands
3rd to 5th April 2015
Paaspop Sunday: July Talk, The Gentle Storm, Vintage Trouble, Nothing But Thieves, The Black Marble Selection, Liptease, Sven Hammond, Against Me!, Peter Pan Speedrock

Rise and shine was easy on Paaspop Sunday: the weather had improved and the sun was already warming the party people at the festival compound. Unfortunately, this didn’t change much at the muddy parking meadow and tractors were still working busy hours to get the cars in and out. I decided to be creative today and brought my bike so I could park somewhere else and cycle the last few miles. No more worries about nightly drifting adventures! Anyhow, the sun was shining and the beer still tasted good on this final day at Paaspop. Today I will be focusing more on the smaller stages where loads of (potentially) interesting bands have been scheduled.

Eventwerk, Dresden, Germany
29th March 2015
E-Werk Ost Festival with Head-less, Torul, Solitary Experiments, De/Vision and VNV Nation

One day after the E-Tropolis Festival in Oberhausen, I headed for the E-Werk Ost Festival in Dresden. A short interlude after a 5 hours journey in Leipzig, catching up on some sleep, then into the estate car with my dear companion heading towards the Saxonian capital to see HEAD-LESS, TORUL, SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS, DE/VISION and VNV NATION again. And to interview SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS (expect the interview soon).

Paaspop, Schijndel, The Netherlands
3rd to 5th April 2015
Paaspop Saturday: Shaking Godspeed, Therapy?, John Coffey, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Kovacs, Jett Rebel, Hats Off to Led Zeppelin, Saxon, Sick of it all

Paaspop or ‘Easter pop’ in Schijndel is the kick off for the festival season in the Netherlands and the weather proves to be quite unpredictable this time of year. While last year I packed sunscreen and sunglasses, it had been raining all week with temperatures between 4 – 10 degrees. This resulted in the dirtiest mud fest at farmer Anton’s meadow which is used as a car park.

C-Club, Berlin, Germany
4th April 2015
Goethes Erben

GOETHES ERBEN, one of the greatest legends of the German Gothic and Alternative music scene, celebrated their 25th anniversary of being on stage, and Berlin was the city which had the honour to celebrate with them. The C-club was three quarters full, in a mix of many old and some new fans of GOETHES ERBEN. Most of the visitors were clearly part of the Gothic scene – at least visually.
