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.

Wayne Hussey & Evi Vine
Does this man really need an introduction? Perhaps only for those too young to remember that Wayne Hussey´s THE MISSION were once one of the biggest acts in the UK with hits as 'Butterfly On The Wheel', 'Deliverance' or 'Beyond The Pale'. Following his departure from THE SISTERS OF MERCY, in which Hussey was the guitarist, he founded THE MISSION together with bass player Craig Adams who left the SISTERS at the same time as Hussey. Now he was back in Cologne for a solo show, supported by EVI VINE.

IAMX – Metanoia Tour
I was really thrilled to learn that IAMX will perform in my hometown for the second leg of the “Metanoia Tour”. More so as the Turock is not really a big venue and thus we all could expect a kind of intimate club show.

IAMX – Metanoia Tour
Chris Corner's IAMX saw a return-to-form with their brilliant album 'Metanoia', which was released in October 2015. The corresponding “Metanoia Tour” is still on-going and since IAMX have an excellent reputation as a live act their show was pretty high on our check list of must-sees this spring. http://iamxmusic.com / http://www.facebook.com/iamxofficial
