Club B1 Maximum, Moscow, Russia3rd June 2010
Oomph!
On the 3rd of June in Moscow, there went off an event that many people were expecting for several years: OOMPH! visited Russia for the second time! The fans of the formation started to gather long before the beginning of the show in order to take places closer to the stage. Strictly speaking this concert can be definitely entered in the list of the brightest events of the summer or maybe the whole year. Of course, some still remember the band’s breathtaking performance in Moscow in 2007 but for others, including me, this year it was the first ever concert of OOMPH!. Besides I also tried myself as a concert photographer for the first time and came to be in the photo pit that was indeed rather exciting. It’s necessary to say that the opening song was ‘Beim ersten Mal tut’s immer weh’ (It always hurts for the first time) which seemed to be a nice coincidence and indeed a great beginning for such a long-awaited show.

Castle Rock 11 Day 2: Letzte Instanz, Diary of Dreams, Mono Inc., Krypteria, The Vision Bleak, Seelenzorn, Eden Weint Im Grab
The second and last day of Castle Rock 11 had dawned already. The weather was still as you could wish for on a festival weekend, but already too hot for me. Anyway, the second day mostly offered rocking tunes from bands such as EDEN WEINT IM GRAB, SEELENZORN or MONO INC, but also the show of DIARY OF DREAMS would be taking place this day.

Castle Rock 11 Day 1: Eisbrecher, Megaherz, Heimataerde, The Flaw
Even though I’m living in that city, I’ve never attended a Castle Rock festival before. High time to change that I thought, and the festival’s eleventh edition was exactly the opportunity to do that! The first day had in stock amongst others MEGAHERZ and EISBRECHER!

Wave Gotik Treffen Day 4: The Golden Apes, Voices of Masada, Morlocks, Zeraphine, Trial, In Strict Confidence, The Klinik
Final day of this year’s festival had come. So far, we had no rain except during the night and early morning. When I made my way to the Moritzbastei to meet some friends there, sun was shining and we were sitting in the sun. Looked promising for a start of the day outdoors at Parkbühne, where I wanted to see some Wave bands. But well... it just looked promising, as we learned later...

Leipzig, Germany21st - 25th May 2010
Wave Gotik Treffen Day 3: Liquid Divine, Reactivate, Lola Angst, Biomekkanik, Cephalgy, Auto Auto, The Lovecrave, Vigilante, S.P.O.C.K, Big Boy, [:SITD:], Colony 5, Faith & the Muse, Elegant Machinery, Diary of Dreams, Welle:Erdball, Lacrimosa, Alien Sex Fiend
First thing I did on Sunday... sleeping very long. Then meeting some friends for “breakfast” and some nice conversations at the Moritzbastei before my day finally started. Today’s line-up at the festival made it rather hard to choose where to go. With a heavy heart (especially since I knew Torben Wendt would be on stage with the band) I decided not to see DIARY OF DREAMS at the Agra since it simply was not possible if I wanted to catch my favourite Swedish Synth bands at Kohlrabizirkus...
