Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany29th November 2007
Sono
SONO means not only sound, it is also the name of a German band, which exists for seven years now. They meanwhile can look back on a more than successful history. The first song out of the debut album ‘Solid State’ called ‘Keep Control’ became a big hit and still fills the dance floors. They were on tour with KOSHEEN, played a gig at the Loveparade and did countless remixes for artists like TIMO MAAS or RAMMSTEIN. On the 29th November 2007 they were guests at the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld to present the new album ‘Panoramic View’ but also the well-known and loved classics.

K17, Berlin, Germany11th November 2007
Out of Line Festival: Hocico, Spetsnaz, Proceed, Din[A]Tod, Ashbury Heights
The independent EBM/Industrial label Out of Line proudly presented its highlights this evening, on the 4th date of the Out of Line Festival tour. New hot acts as well as established stars were featured in the line-up, with HOCICO being the absolute top act of the evening. Musically, the line-up was very varied, from soft melodic EBM to rough industrial. Unfortunately, the quality of the shows was just as varied. The festival featured surprises as well as real disappointments, of which I can only hope or even expect to be better on CD. Too bad, for those bands could really have benefited from this festival fuelled by HOCICO. And that is no understatement; the K17 was completely full on a Sunday evening, and no other EBM / Industrial band but HOCICO can pull that off.

K17, Berlin, Germany8th November 2007
The Birthday Massacre, Psycho Luna
THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE is a band that attracts a very varied audience; Goth, Emo, Lolita, Punk, girls in sexy school uniforms and even rabbits. Or at least, that was what the Berlin audience in the K17 looked like that night. Reasonably filled during PSYCHO LUNA, and completely stuffed during THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, it stays surprising how the K17 always empties up so quickly after a gig. Even the announcement of a chat and signing session after the concert by THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE couldn’t keep most of the Berlin audience from going home as fast as they could. Strange people, those Berliners. However, before the concerts started the room was full of positive tension. And not for nothing.
