As a guest of this new festival you noticed the passion and enthusiastic organisation of Dominik Wrehl and his team at every touching point. The setting was superb, the range of bands extraordinarily, the frame programme diversified and the crew unexcitedly and polite. Hameln owns another attraction by now. Bands, artists, merchants and creepy characters created the biggest Halloween party in the region Weserbergland. Autumn Moon Festival: to be continued… Read now what we think of the band playing at day two.

Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Germany
24th to 25th October 2015
Classic Day: Mesh, Anne Clark, Covenant

As the electro part of this festival was finished the day before, now the classic part with the help of an Orchestra dawned. Once again, Leipzig’s Gewandhaus opened its doors for all the well-dressed fans. And yes, Dani and I managed to be there on time, which was a good thing as no one could find my ticket first. We had some editor changes and so firstly no one could find the second ticket, then they searched and finally found it. To make the ticket thing go on, I had a seat number written on mine which didn’t exist anymore. For a few moments I thought I had to sit on the floor, but fortunately not. The seat next to the erased one was free, so I could use this one.

Midge Ure & India Electric Co - Breathe Again Tour

An artist like MIDGE URE, who has had so much success in the music business for such a long time now, working with many well-known bands like VISAGE, ULTRAVOX and of course the BAND AID project and gaining many awards over the years, does need little introduction. 20 years after the release of his very successful fourth solo album ‘Breathe’ in 1995, he revisits his Celtic roots, displayed in these songs by presenting all of them live on stage again. The date of the first show of his tour in Germany was also the release date of his new live album ‘Breathe Again: Live and Extended’, which was recorded in Scotland in May this year.

IAMX – Metanoia Tour

IAMX is an electro project founded by mastermind Chris Corner in 2004 in London which has undergone many different transformations, especially in the line-up. Nowadays, the German Janine Gezang (synths, bass, vocals) and the two Americans Jon Siren (drums) and Sammi Doll (synths, vocals) accompany Chris Corner on his tour through the anxieties and pleasures of humankind. As already mentioned in our preview, IAMX have been absent off stage for some while due to Corner's critical health. That's why the excitement was all the greater. With their new record ‘Metanoia’ (which is Greek and means “changing one's mind”) in tow they graced Cologne's Essigfabrik on a mild November night on 4th November 2015. http://www.iamxmusic.com / https://www.facebook.com/IAMXOFFICIAL

Gretchen Club, Berlin, Germany
2nd November 2015
Susanne Sundfør & Apothek

The Gretchen Club in Berlin Kreuzberg is already well-filled half an hour before the start of the concert. Primarily twentysomethings to late thirties, who have come to see the avant-garde-pop-show of SUSANNE SUNDFØR from Norway. For the second time this year the 29-year old Singer/ Songwriter played in Berlin. The location, a rather narrow oblong room with columns and ornate ceilings is so well stocked with about 400 guests that it was cozy. The stage is small, there was no stage pit, so that the concert had a very intimate atmosphere for both the people in the front row as well as the musicians.
