Zeche Carl, Essen, GermanyBig Boy
What really led to the foundation of BIG BOY is as unknown as any other background information, but the story we know is as follows. The man named BIG BOY is said to be born in Sweden, served in the foreign legions for a couple of years before he was discharged (dishonourably). He spent a few weeks in a sanatorium (To visit a friend) until Freddy Mercury manifested and told him to found the greatest Rock’n’Roll band the world has ever seen. Actually we only know a few things for sure.

Archive, BirdPen
ARCHIVE with their ‘Controlling Crowds’ cycle from 2009 have amazed listeners and critics worldwide with its epic dimensions and cunning way of blending different styles together. This also was our first contact with the British collective, but it had such impact on us we decided to take the next chance there was to be part of an ARCHIVE live event - and the one in Bochum surely deserved that name.

Die Art
German band DIE ART was founded in 1986 and is the follow-up to DIE ZUCHT which had a rather short-lived existence with two years in total. The band quickly caught the attention of a bigger audience and having their song ‘Chrome’ played on the radio might have helped their popularity grow as well. After the German Unification the band has released their debut full-length ‘Fear’ which remains to be the most successful album of DIE ART up until now. After a concert in Leipzig’s Moritzbastei in 2001 the band disbanded and left a back catalogue of nine album, various tapes and singles.

NACHTMAHR and support: Alter der Ruine & XUberX
Despite being an odd night of the week (a Thursday) and at a venue no generally known for hosting electro-industrial concerts of any sort (DC9), NACHTMAHR's debut performance in the nation's capitol went off with quite a respectable number of people. For those unfamiliar with this Austrian outfit, it is perhaps best known as the solo project of L'ÂME IMMORTELLE's front man, Thomas Rainer.
