Zeitgeist Zero

Leeds based ZEITGEIST ZERO have a big black boot in so many different musical and visual camps, you’d think confusion would have set in. In reality they perfectly manage to inhabit their own carefully constructed and intriguingly strange, darkly glamorous world. This is a place where electro-goth, fuzzed up psychobilly and a dance driven classic rock ‘n roll bed down with a seedy art-house eroticism, jazz-era glamour and a knowing cheekiness. Their recorded output is impressively assured, genre-stretching and playful, but it’s in the live arena where the band really explode into vibrant existence. Because they don’t do gigs. Most definitely not. They put on a show. https://www.facebook.com/ZeitgeistZero / http://www.zeitgeistzero.com/

“No rest for the wicked!” could have been the slogan of the second day of the M’era Luna festival as further great bands entertained the visitors. A thunderstorm warning came out on early afternoon and those who were camping were a bit nervous if our tents will stay at their places and if we have to pack wet tents into our cars. But fortunately it all went quite smooth.

Fortress Königstein, Königstein, Germany

VNV Nation & Head-less
