Are you ready for a “glam orgy in cabaret decorations” and “lots of emotion, grand gestures, Japanese porn, bass, sweat and tears”? Are you in for a “glorious mess”? That's how British composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and video artist Chris Corner once described a typical IAMX live show to those who haven't experienced the band live before. You can look forward to eccentric performances, unique costumes, and impressive sets with visual effects when this innovative electronic act will hit the stages in Germany in the beginning of April.

All the blogs in the world agree when it comes to the band CHVRCHES: they're the big thing from Scotland with an immensely impressive sound. Their singles ‘Lies’ and ‘The Mother We Share’ have convinced listeners with jagged synths, shimmering melodies, and the enchanting voice of singer Lauren Mayberry. So, CHVRCHES have come fifths in the BBC's “Sound of 2013” music list. After their debut entitled ‘The Bones of What You Believe’, they published their second album ‘Every Open Eye’ last September. Now, in April, CHVRCHES will visit Germany for a short promotional tour. Come out on April 4, if you want to see and hear the electro pop trio in Cologne's E-Werk.

• Position Parallèle

DERNIÈRE VOLONTÉ, the Darkwave project of Geoffroy D. from France, has just released its 7th album on Hau Ruck! Records. It's called ‘Prie Pour Moi’ (‘Pray For Me’) and is available HERE. In an interview with the radio show WAVES, Geoffroy D. confided that it could be DERNIÈRE VOLONTÉ's last album. “My work in DV has been about digging within me in order to solve deep emotionnal problems, to heal wounds that have been there since I was a child. It's an introspection that can be dangerous because it means unleashing feelings that can be harmful. I feel I have achieved the end of one cycle now and I don't know what the future will bring.
