Wave Gotik Treffen 2015 Day 1: Rabbit At War, Electronic Noice, L’Âme Immortelle, .com/kill, Blutengel, Steinkind, Antimatter, Deine Lakaien, Feuerschwanz, Eisbrecher

Arriving, Observing, Finding Your Way, Dancing! The town is black. At least a bit. Either the number of visitors has decreased at the 24th Wave Gotik Treffen or it was spread to more smaller locations. Maybe it was the train strike's fault that some didn't find their way to the trade fair town at all.

The Australian Pink Floyd Show

Even the “real” PINK FLOYD were once in the Halle Münsterland in 1971 and it is not the first time the AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW had a stop in the Westphalia metropolis. The show set for the 28th April had to be cancelled shortly beforehand unfortunately because parts of the roof were dissolving and the security of the visitors shouldn't be in danger. All damage was repaired at the surrogate date and the well-filled circles proved that such things don't impress a PINK FLOYD fan. Around 2,200 spectators followed the call of the Australian cover band which has made it their task to perform the songs of the British prog rock pioneers as authentic as possible. The average age was among the audience and on stage visibly higher than at different concerts so that one or the other in the audience might have still seen the original. http://www.aussiefloyd.com / https://www.facebook.com/australianpinkfloyd

Naked Lunch

Back in 1979, NAKED LUNCH, and especially front-man Tony Mayo, were hugely influential in the fledgling electronic music scene in the UK. Crucial to the encouragement and development of bands like DEPECHE MODE, they helped shape the androgynous, experimental and progressive music at the time, alongside FAD GADGET, BLANCMANGE, SOFT CELL and THE THE amongst many others. Fading away gracefully once the mid-eighties were reached, to have them back again now, and playing such iconic venues as London’s Hope & Anchor, is something of a revelation. https://nakedlunchofficial.com/ / https://www.facebook.com/NAKDLUNCH1/

Chameleons Vox & MindSlide

The melancholy rock guitar wave of the CHAMELEONS is mentioned as one of today's biggest influences next to the sound of bands like JOY DIVISION, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN and THE SOUND by current new wave / post punk bands like INTERPOL and THE SOFT MOON. CHAMELEONS’ singer Mark Burgess dedicated himself for the last time to the greatest hits of the band with his new band THE CHAMELEONS VOX in the Gleis 22 where the “We are all Chameleons Farewell Tour” had one of its last dates. Bielefeld based MINDSLIDE were opening the evening.
