Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen, Germany
14th March 2015
Eisbrecher & Märzfeld

Not for the first time did EISBRECHER perform in Oberhausen's Turbinenhalle in their almost 13 years long band history. Some days before, the Ruhrpott show of the tour for the new and sixth record ‘Schock’ sold out, also because of the practical Saturday evening date. That came with no surprise as the new long-player received overall positive criticism in contrast with its calm and partly schlager-esque predecessor ‘Die Hölle muss warten’.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany
12th March 2015
Coppelius & Bodenski

It seems like COPPELIUS are visiting the Matrix in Bochum once a year. Now, the band is on the road with the current album ‘Hertzmaschine‘ and around 300 people (I would guess) followed the invitation. Many of the fans were wearing Steampunk outfits and numerous COPPELIUS shirt were spotted. During the waiting time, all of a sudden some COPPELIUS songs, like ‘Contenance’, were sung. Sounded lovely! Finally at eight, it was time for support act BODENSKI to open the evening.

VOLT, Sittard, The Netherlands
7th March 2015
Clan of Xymox & Grausame Töchter

The town of Sittard once had a small Cultural Centre of Youth known by the name Fenix. In 2013 it made way for a completely new venue called VOLT. This completely new concert venue opened its doors in Spring 2014, almost a year ago. It is a promising new venue with many features to accommodate known and unknown bands. On Saturday March 7th, VOLT was the stage for two completely different acts. The extravagance GRAUSAME TÖCHTER shared the stage with the old-school New Wave band CLAN OF XYMOX. A promising evening with a visual usurpation together with the music of one of the last remaining classic new wave bands of the Netherlands.
