Matrix, Bochum, Germany28th December 2009
Front 242 + Special Guests
When in 1984 the album ‘No Comment’ was released, they unintentionally became the pioneers of a completely new genre: Electronic Body Music or as it is more common nowadays EBM. Many epigones would follow them, but only little of them would leave a mark in musical history, even remotely as big as FRONT 242 did. In 1987, the ‘Official Version’ was released with which the band attracted even more interest and which spilled two successful singles with ‘Masterhit’ and ‘Quite Unusual’. That same year they supported DEPECHE MODE on their “Music for the Masses” tour which helped them to acquire an increasingly large number of loyal fans and supporters.
While bands like MINISTRY dedicated their work to the mainstream in the 90s, FRONT 242 always kept true to themselves. If you haven’t attended a show of the Industrial legends already, then this is your chance to get to feel the energy of purest electronic sounds at Bochum’s Matrix before the year’s going to ending.
