Christmas concert: New Model Army & The (International) Noise Conspiracy
This year, Christmas time is New Model Army time once again: I got the chance to be part of one of the treasured Christmas concerts of the troop from the North of England (my first Army concert by the way). Due to the pre-Christmas traffic jam and because of the fact that nearly every parking lot in the area was already taken Marcus (photographer and a friend of mine as well) and I missed the supporting act VOIST.

Dead Guitars
At the beginning of November, I’ve already seen three members of the DEAD GUITARS on stage during the WAYNE HUSSEY show in Bochum. As I really liked what I heard I couldn’t resist the offer to see a full concert…

BIM Fest 2008: The Klinik, The Names, Vomito Negro, The Cassandra Complex, Signal Aout’42, No More, Plastic Noise Experience, Catholic Boys in Heavy Leather, The Arch, Psy’Aviah
December is not only the time, when a big guy with a white beard on a reindeer skid, delivers presents, it usually is also the month, where many fans of dark music travel to Belgium as it’s time again for the Belgium Independent Music Festival, short BIM Fest. This year, the festival went into its 7th round and will came up with lots of highlights, leading the way with a performance of the absolute legendary formation THE KLINIK, who returned from the dead and presented a mixture of classics and brand-new material. But the fest did not stop there already. The organizers invited no one less than VOMITO NEGRO for the 7th issue of the festival, who’re working on a new album right now and presented new material. http://www.bimfest.be

Lanxess Arena, Cologne, Germany18th December 2008
Westernhagen, Battlekat
The weather on this Thursday evening was anything but appealing; I could barely feel my hands anymore, in spite of my gloves, but eventually we entered the huge building that was called the Lanxess Arena and the warmth embraced us again. We’d never seen WESTERNHAGEN live before and our first live experience with him would turn out as something special not only for us as it turned out later.

Inkonst, Malmö, Sweden13th December 2008
electriXmas Festival: Welle:Erdball, Agonoize, Interlace, Autodafeh, Biomekkanik
Being the follower of Virtual X-mas, electriXmas is taking place every year in December since 2002 and developed to one of Sweden’s most famous synth festivals. The line-up this year was again very mixed between “old” heroes of synth music and new talents. Acts from abroad belonged to the line-up as well as local bands. After the festival was taking place for several years in Lund, it moved to Malmö in 2007 and is now taking place at Inkonst, which is set in an old chocolate factory and is part of Kulturhuset Mazetti where it invites everything from experimental minority activities to well known events in theatre, music, dance, art and clubs.
