Palladium, Cologne, Germany13th October 2017
Sigur Rós
Attending a live performance truly takes the experience of this otherworldly music to a higher level! The now three-piece had announced their European autumn tour at the beginning of the year with a video trailer and delivered nothing less than a spectacular audio-visual masterpiece on stage. The more than two hour long evening with SIGUR RÓS in the sold-out Palladium omitted a support act and offered two sets separated by an intermission instead. Featuring well-loved songs as well as new material, the show also provided a preview to the 8th studio album currently on the way.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Had you been lucky enough, you could have been one of the ~100 chosen fans that were baptized on stage by the “Prince of Darkness”. It was NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS showing their obsession with death, religion, love and violence on a sold out night at Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Electric Halle.

Die Kantine, Cologne, Germany6th October 2017
Lamb
It’s a celebration! For LAMB it is 21 years since the release of their first and most successful album. Who doesn’t want to revive the late 90s and its cool electronic trip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass sound? And for those who are too young to tell? Well, the 90s are back in many forms. That's why the youngest know and that's why they were there too. That speaks about the wide range of ages that enjoyed that crowded Friday night at Die Kantine in Cologne.

FZW, Dortmund, Germany24th September 2017
Sisters of Mercy, The Membranes
There are numerous acts in the so-called “Goth scene” who refuse to write and release new songs. Instead of creating something fresh they earn their money by putting out re-issues of old albums and playing lots of concerts. FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, DAF (well, they at least released 2 new songs in the last years), FRONT 242, THE SISTERS OF MERCY - four famous names without any new output in the last decade. But nowadays one of those bands simply doesn't fit to the other three. FOTN, 242 and DAF at least convince their fans with energetic live performances while SISTERS' appearances just lead to continuous disappointments. Before Andrew Eldritch and his three exchangeable Minions on laptop and guitars entered the stage of the sold out FZW in Dortmund, we had the chance to witness a performance of a solid support.
