König- Pilsener Arena, Oberhausen, Germany20th April 2016
A-ha & Marcel Brell
On short notice I was asked if I like to see A-HA in order to write a review about the show. How could I decline such a request as I finally had the chance to see such a great Synth Pop band with a career of three decades? And thus I was very much looking forward to this event.

Sandstone Cave Langenstein, Halberstadt, Germany15th & 16th April 2016
Kasematten Festival 2016 Day 1 with Evi Vine, Still Patient?, Near Earth Orbit, Syntec, Wayne Hussey, Kirlian Camera
Taking place in a cave makes the quite young Kasematten Festival without any doubt a truly special event within the dark scene. In 2015, the festival took place for the very first time at the sandstone cave Langenstein in Halberstadt and about 1,000 folks had a great black celebration together. This year, the line-up once again was calling for a successful festival. Legendary Wayne Hussey, lead singer of THE MISSION and former guitarist of THE SISTER OF MERCY, was there on April 15, just to mention one of the fantastic artists.

Uniclub, Buenos Aires, Argentina5th April 2016
Clan of Xymox & Decoded Feedback
Eighteen years after the first visit to Buenos Aires, the band founded in 1981, originally from Netherland, performed again in Argentina playing old hits and also new ones, a thorough going-over under the sight of Ronny Moorings 35 years of career. The band has 15 studio albums, the first one from 1985 and the last one from 2014. An excellent curriculum from a couple of friends from a little city (Nijmegen) in Netherlands. Anka Wolbert and Pieter Nooten left the band in the early 90’s, and now, Moorings and his partner in art (an also in life) Mojca Zugna are the more “familiar faces” of the band. They actually live in Leipzig, Germany.

Hotel Shanghai, Essen, Germany14th April 2016
Patrick Wolf and Calpernia Addams
It's been three and a half years since PATRICK WOLF graced the grounds of Hotel Shanghai for the last time – back then as a DJ. Hotel Shanghai has a beautiful, hip, and colourful interior and is actually a club but since Wolf is friends with the owner of the club, it was decided that he would play his Ruhr area show in the club. The venue holds up to approximately 300 people and has two grounds – the lower one is for dancing and the upper one is a sort of balcony and designed for hanging out while still being able to see what's going on at the party. It filled up rather quickly with devoted fans and unfortunately, some of them were rude enough to just consider what would be a good view for them. Seldom have I experienced so little respect for one another at a concert.
