Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen, Germany
21st January 2015
Alex Clare (acoustic) & Special Guest: Saint James

Originally planned for last autumn, the tour had to be postponed because of the insolvency of original tour promoter. Luckily, with FKP Scorpio, a new promoter was found and the “Three Hearts Acoustic Tour” was finally taking place. The first date was on 21st January in Oberhausen. Sadly, the rush for the concert was not really high and the crowd was manageable. But still, they were enthusiastic and a great show was ahead of us.

2014 was a touring year for Slovenian music collective LAIBACH. After releasing their critically acclaimed album 'Spectre' in February the band was pretty much constantly on the road in Europe with their new programme and in December they came back to Germany. Early 2015 will see even more LAIBACH dates, so we checked the show for you on December 10th in Krefeld.

Stadthalle, Chemnitz, Germany
25th December 2014
DarkStorm Festival with Project Pitchfork, Mono Inc., Megaherz, Hocico, Welle:Erdball, In Strict Confidence, Rotersand, DIVE, The Exploding Boy, Grausame Töchter, Coppelius, Ost+Front

Arriving in Chemnitz and expecting a lot of snow there on this December day, there was nothing like that. Honestly we had a little struggle to find the venue and something to park our car. When we finally found it and the building with a huge “Stadthalle” sign on it, we were waiting to get in. But at the wrong entry. Someone came out, told us we could wait here to get inside but he was wrong and after a while we started to walk around the building, asked people at the backstage entrance and finally got to find the right queue. But we were not that much lucky as in the very moment I entered the venue someone told me that the press people have a separated entrance and told me to get on the other one. Once again walking around the building, finding out the friendly security guy was wrong and finally found the right entrance for me after a freezing walk. Signs would have helped a lot, but that’s a thing coming to my mind a lot this day.

Alter Schlachthof, Dresden, Germany
21st December 2014
Eisheilige Nacht 2014 with Subway to Sally, Saltatio Mortis, Unzucht and Heldmaschine

Without ice-holy temperatures, I have made a pilgrimage with dear-lovely company to Dresden on 21st December 2014. In this evening, the Middle Ages rockers of SUBWAY TO SALLY invited to the EISHEILIGE NACHT at Alter Schlachthof Dresden. Already 6 o'clock was the admittance and on time at 7 o'clock, Eric Fish entered the stage to start the evening with a few words to initiate. Now with words of praise he announces the opener of the evening which ventured, his opinion, a skilful step towards independence. We are talking about HELDMASCHINE, formerly known as the RAMMSTEIN cover band VÖLKERBALL.
