Schneewittchen
SCHNEEWITTCHEN is one of the most interesting German alternative bands. Marianne Isar (vocals) and Thomas Duda (instrumentals), started to make music together in Hildesheim in 1996, using simply their names as a band name. In 2000, they choose the name SCHNEEWITTCHEN (snow white), a name of an old German fairy tale, for their band project. They mix successfully elements of very different styles, and as per their own disclosure, they are influenced both by the classical German songs written by Schubert and Schumann and by the French chanson, but also by Punk and other styles. When SCHNEEWITTCHEN was still simply “Mariannes Isar & Thomas Duda”, they used to play at cabarets, but after a few years they changed and started to perform at concert halls, music festivals and street fests, gaining in popularity every year. www.schneewittchenmusik.de

Trentemøller, Chimes & Bells
We were closing up the week with a show by an artist we do much appreciate but have never seen live before and thus we were quite curious about how TRENTEMØLLER would be transporting his electronic cuts to the live circuit, especially those of the new album ‘Into The Great White Yonder’ leaning towards a rather indie direction that could indicate a rocking live presentation. We would see...

Matrix, Bochum, Germany9th October 2010
Anathema, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Petter Carlsen
An evening involving ANATHEMA couldn’t be a bad evening. That’s what I thought when I started travelling to Bochum (again) to get to the Matrix. Other than the day before there was actually a queue in front of the club, a long one. Different to the last show, ANATHEMA brought some guests with PETTER CARLSEN and ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN and… I think you should read the rest of the article to learn what.
