Glendale Galleria, Glendale, California, USA25th June 2009
Midnight Reign
MIDNIGHT REIGN is an act out off Los Angeles that has made a name for themselves and will not be thrown aside. This Rock’n’Roll heavy metal sensation is breaking the music scene piece by piece with their break-through debut ‘Never Look Back’ and upcoming follow-up ‘Are You Gothic?’ due out later this year. What is left for the band to come up with or even think of doing? Perform of course! And this is exactly what they decided to do, when it came to going from electric to acoustic throwing a small get together at the Glendale Hot Topic an annual monthly in-store event that all Hot Topics are trying to promote to help out the bands around the county.

Malta Festival, Poznan, Poland23rd June 2009
Nine Inch Nails, Alex Empire
“Why have we waited so long to come here?” - that was the question Trent Reznor asked the audience at some point during the concert of NINE INCH NAILS that took place on the 23rd June in Poznan. Yes, plenty of people gathered to see the legends of the industrial scene were surely asking the same question, but the most important thing was they finally managed to appear and play the best concert ever!

Blackfield Festival 2009 Day 2: ASP, Apoptygma Berzerk, Mesh, Suicide Commando, IAMX, Letzte Instanz, Frozen Plasma, Faun, Santa Hates You, Dope Stars Inc.
The second festival day started not as wet as the first one. Only a few slight showers, mostly dry, but quite cold in the evening. Again we got a lot of fantastic bands to listen to. German ASP was headlining the festival, but my personal favourite was Chris Corner’s IAMX. Simply amazing! All bands during the day delivered fantastic performances starting with Italian DOPE STARS INC. at 12 o’clock.

Wave Gotik Treffen Day 3: Minerve, Akanoid, Fading Colours, Fetisch:Mensch, Frozen Plasma, Frank the Baptist, Psyche, Solitary Experiments, Umbra et Imago, Client, Melotron, ASP, Peter Murphy
On WGT Sunday, the sun was shining bright again. Typical for a day we wanted to spend completely indoors at the Kohlrabizirkus. Right in time for the doors to open we arrived at the pleasant, huge hall, situated South East of the centre. The day would be all under the sign of Electro and Synth Pop for us. It was the third day of the Wave Gotik Treffen 2009 and we were excited to see great bands like FETISCH:MENSCH and ASP. Just like the day before, we got up pretty early due to sounds around the camping ground. And then, like it wasn't enough, the line in front of the showers was way too long but we stood there and waited for about 45minutes. After getting refreshed and well-fed, we got ready for our third day and our first band with the great Oswald Henke.
