Depeche Mode & The Bravery
We had been waiting for so long but tonight was the night Depeche Mode finally attended the Netherlands again! And what an honour it was to be there, a flashing, grand and yet intimate show nobody will ever forget. It was just one of those nights…..

Cultus Ferox – Rum-Tour 2006
The band name ‘Cultus Ferox’ (lat.) means ‘Wild Way of Life’. And so they are! After the break-up with their two youngest musicians Briantanus and Asmon (returned to their old band ‘Fabula Aetatis’) the band formed itself new. Their in summer released EP ‘Aufbruch’ announced rock sounds already. Fans that came with such an expectance to this “Rum-Tour” 2006 weren’t disappointed! The band broke up with the pure medieval structures. The traditional dances were enhanced with guitar, bass and some electronic aspects. But no overhasty conclusion: This is not only the typical Medieval-Rock-Side-Project.

[:SITD:]
This evening should become something special – the band [:SITD:] was celebrating its 10th birthday in their home area. Theme of the whole event was “[:SITD:] and friends” – so they were not celebrating alone – lots of fans came to see the show and dance later to the DJ set of ‘VNV Nation’ members Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson. As support the band invited Kolja Trelle aka ‘Soman’ for a short show who we just know from the latest ‘VNV Nation’ tour.

Schwimmbad Music-Club, Heidelberg, Germany15th March 2006
Welle:Erdball
This band is really an exception in these times. Since 1990 they play pure electronic music like the former ‘Neue Deutsche Welle’ (New German Wave). They are using old instruments and computer systems because of their conviction. The C-64 has always been their inspiration and favourite “instrument”. With their own style and sound they reanimate a musical world that has gone long time ago. We arrived a little bit too early this evening at the ‘Swimmbad Club’. So we got a very good place right in front of the stage. Even before the concert started, there was much fog in the little room. The concert room at the club has a very deep ceiling and it is always filled with smoke.

HIM, The Rasmus, Negative
It was like a Finnish invasion. ‘Negative’, ‘The Rasmus’ and ‘HIM’ – three of the most successful bands from Finland – were touring through Germany. For many people and I guess especially for girls this was just the best combination. I’m sure when you are a fan of one of these bands you like them all. The audience was mix of different nationalities. Next to the Germans some people spoke Dutch, some people French and who knows maybe also some Finnish fans were there. Though I haven’t heard any Finnish, but you never know….
