W2, Den Bosch, The Netherlands 7th of April 2007
Faun and Keltia
I hadn’t seen them since Castlefest last summer so it was about time for a concert of Faun again. With their new album Totem just released it was of course time for a tour and tonight the W2 had the honour of being their host. They had brought along a Belgian opening act, I had never seen or heard them before so I was very curious.

Faun
The name of the German band FAUN is the same word in the English tongue and describes a being from the Greek/Latin mythology, associated with Pan/Faunus, the god of shepherds and flocks. This character is often displayed as a nature or forest spirit, and according to the band members, they have chosen this name as a symbol for their close affinity to nature. For the same reason, Oliver Pade, founding member of the group, took on the pseudonym 'Sa Tyr'; these creatures were the Pan's companions in the myths.

Postbahnhof, Berlin, Germany11th April 2007
VNV Nation - Judgement - Tour Europe (Part 1), Imperative Reaction, Modulate
There are so many clubs in Berlin but only one “Postbahnhof”. It is a place for 12,000 fans of music. The two halls are authentically restored and could be used together or abstracted. It is always a pleasure to visit this hall because of that great light and very good sound. MODULATE, IMPERATIVE REACTION and VNV NATION had a perfect location for their tour when they played Berlin.
