It was love at first sight and now we meet her again - the MS RheinEnergie! Europe´s biggest and most sophisticated domestic event-ship simply defines a class on its own and we couldn´t imagine a better place to ring in the 10th anniversary of the Amphi Festival. On Friday, 25.07.2014, at 8:00 pm it is time again for 1,111 fans to embark on a river cruise along the Rhine, like even Cologne does not experience it every day. Whether in a relaxed mood on the sun deck or with the excitement of a live performance in the main hall – one can´t resist to absorb the unique atmosphere aboard the MS RheinEnergie. Our stars aboard the ship 2014 go by the names PROJECT PITCHFORK and SUICIDE COMMANDO who will both present themselves pointedly old-school this night! SUICIDE COMMANDO eventually open the evening musically with a „Vintage“-Set, while PROJECT PITCHFORK will enter the stage for a journey back in time. Their special „Early Years Set“ mainly focuses on their numerous classics from the 1990s. This unique show will only be performed once this night aboard the MS RheinEnergie.

“Paradise (What About Us?)” will be released as an EP, containing four new songs.In addition to Paradise (What About Us?), the EP will contain demo versions of three brand new songs: “Let Us Burn”, “Silver Moonlight” and “Dog Days”. By releasing these demos we want to invite you in our home studio and show how we capture song ideas at an early stage of creating a new album. These demo versions are far from their final sound on the album, but will give you a hint of what we’re working on. It will be fascinating to hear how the end result will sound like, once the album is released. We hope to make the waiting time for the new album a little shorter and sweeter with this release. It’s so exciting to share the different stages of our music with you. Stay tuned for more important news on the EP. The EP Paradise (What About Us?), will be released on Friday September 27th world wide and on October 1st in North America.

Somehow we just knew we had to make music. Problem was we couldn't play and didn't have any instruments.
Described by Sweden's national tabloid Expressen as "a perfect union of Front 242 and the B-52's," Swedish electronic punk group Cat Rapes Dog is back with their first album since 1999. The new album, dubbed Life Was Sweet, is the seventh Cat Rapes Dog studio release and first on label Artoffact. The band gets right to the point and stays true to their punk rock roots, rarely pausing and skipping all filler. The album clocks in at a "fits on vinyl" 35 minutes, but in this short space Cat Rapes Dog will tell you to go out and vote, give you a lesson in religion, and baffle you with a sense of humour all their own. Manic electronic synth lines meet over-the-top male and female vocals on nine tracks of pure DIY weird.

De/Vision & Tenek
Talking about Synth Pop / Electro Pop bands, you cannot leave the German band DE/VISON unmentioned as they are a kind of old stager. In 1988, they started as a quartet but since 2000 it is Steffen Keth and Thomas Adam who continued with DE/VISION. And they are doing it with great success. Thus they can now, in 2013, look back on a musical history of 25 years.
