DAF & Fehlfarben - ‘Verschwende Deine Jugend 2014’

When two legends of the Punk and NDW era decide to perform on one evening in the same venue (with a capacity of 900 people), it is no surprise that this event is sold-out, even more as it is for both bands a home match. In the eighties, DAF and FEHLFARBEN were regular guests in the renowned Ratinger Hof club in Düsseldorf, a fancied venue of the Punk and Wave members. It was the place where the guys of the bands met, hung around and performed of course. Despite many other bands of the NDW/ Punk genre these bands impressed with intelligent lyrics, their smart way to play with the German language, an inspiration for those who are able to read between the lines. But this is not the only thing they have in common. Two of the founding members of DAF, Kurt Dahlke (keyboards) and Michael Kemner (bass) are long-time members of FEHLFARBEN. Disbanding and reuniting is as well a history they share. But fortunately they are back for good and surely they still inspire bands/ musicians nowadays as they did back in the eighties.

Gothic meets Klassik Day 2 with Solitary Experiments, Front Line Assembly & Mono Inc.

As the electro part of this festival was finished the day before, now the classic part with the help of an Orchestra dawned. This time at Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, already a lot of well and appropriately dressed fan were waiting to see SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS, FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY and MONO INC. performing with the Orchestra from Zielona Gora ( Poland). The doors opened on time, so people could go on waiting in the foyer, have a drink or two and talk a bit till the doors opened for the show. To those who would like to get more information about the Orchestra and their director and composer Czeslaw Grabowski, should check the Gothic meets Klassik website or maybe the website of Gewandhaus Leipzig, too. http://www.gothic-meets-klassik.de

Anathema & Mother’s Cake

Right after releasing their new record ‘Distant Satellites’, being already the 10th album of the band, ANATHEMA are presenting their album live in Europe. It´s time for progressive metal! The show on that day, the first day of Cologne carnival session (luckily there only were “normal” people), was sold-out. And the audience was eager to see ANATHEMA. But first, there was special guest MOTHER’S CAKE.
