Die Kammer

The weather on this evening was more than unpleasant when I was on my way to the Live Club Barmen in Wuppertal in order to see DIE KAMMER. And actually I was not in the best mood but with the prospect of a wonderful concert evening, I knew this will lift it up again. The Live Club Barmen is a small venue for familiar shows and actually perfect for this kind of concerts.

Front 242 & Steril

While there is still no new material in sight, and probably might never come, Belgian EBM pioneers FRONT 242 are on a club tour again in Europe to present their overhauled classics. But as FRONT 242 are always a quite exciting live act and rather unfrequently play club shows in Germany, there was reason enough not going to miss the event.

Live Music Hall, Cologne, Germany

Holly Johnson & DJ

In order to promote his new album ‘Europe’, HOLLY JOHNSON had also some dates in Germany. The show at the Live Music Hall in Cologne with a capacity of 1,300 people was sold out. A great part of the audience was more of my age and thus danced already to the sound of FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD in the discotheque once. I also maintain that on this evening the audience was dominated by men. The evening was opened by a DJ who played mixes of songs mainly from the eighties. Surely a nice attunement but of course we all waited impatiently to finally see HOLLY JOHNSON

Revolverheld & Julian Le Play

The final show of the current REVOLVERHELD tour was taking place in Bochum. And there was a huge demand for the band, resulting in a sold-out venue. The hall was packed and later on, the band would be excited about this success. They were already playing in Bochum several times before, at the Riff or the Zeche, much smaller venues. As support, REVOLVERHELD brought Austrian artist JULIAN LE PLAY.

Parkway Drive, Heaven Shall Burn, Northlane & Carnifex

Fans of brutal music can look forward to aloud and impressive package of Metalcore bands tonight at venue 013. Metalcore masters from down under, PARKWAY DRIVE, made their way to our little country again and they brought some colleagues as well. PWD gets support from our neighbours with HEAVEN SHALL BURN, one of the heavier export products of Germany. Another heavyweight that’s been added to the list are US Deathcore machine CARNIFEX who will probably blow the Jupiler stage to bits. And last but not least NORTHLANE, also from Australia.
