Coppelius & Cellolitis

COPPELIUS concerts are always something special. And since this is the case, people were queuing up really early to enter the concert hall. The tube was filled very well with people waiting for our dear gentlemen to enter the stage, introducing also their new album that was released on the concert day. But before COPPELIUS entered the stage, one man and his beloved cello were warming up the audience.

Triggerfinger & Hong Kong Dong

What rocks a long time finally is rewarded with a number one hit. So it happened to TRIGGERFINGER with their extraordinary cover version of ‘I Follow Rivers’. The trio describes its concerts as crazy thunderstorm – and fans lave the band therefore. They love them so much that the venue in Krefeld was totally packed with people not only from Germany, but also from Belgium and the Netherlands. The crowd was eager to celebrate the Antwerp band presenting a mix of Rock, Blues and Rockabilly… sometimes loud and wild, sometimes calm and pure. But before TRIGGERFINGER started their show, there were HONG KONG DONG opening the evening.

Anneke Van Giersbergen and Danny Cavanagh

Danny Cavanagh is a founding member and main author of British progressive rock band ANATHEMA. For some years, he is known to form a collaboration with Dutch singer and musician Anneke van Giersbergen, famous for her beautiful soprano and for her female-fronted band THE GATHERING, as well as collaborations with many bands, from NAPALM DEATH through DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and WITHIN TEMPTATION. I've got to see her together with Devin couple of times in Finland, but at that time Devin's heavy metal was entirely dominating and it was not possible to clearly get a right impression of her talents.
