ADVANCED ELECTRONICS FESTIVAL: Suicide Commando, Soman, Frozen Plasma, Unter Null
Just three days before the event I got my ticket because I only shortly decided to visit the festival. The Advanced Electronics Festival celebrated the fifth edition of the “Advanced Electronics” sampler series. So I couldn’t let the chance go to enjoy the performance of one of the most known acts in scene since nearly 20 years. As I arrived at the Kulturfabrik most of the parking-lot wasn’t filled so far and entering the hall I recognized that it wasn’t filled well either. The concert didn’t seem to be sold out. Until the middle of the first band performance only a few people filled the hall.

Elektrisch! Festival: Mechanical Cabaret, Purwien, X-perience, Mesh
On 9th February, MAJOR RECORDS and RE-FLEXION will release the interesting compilation ELEKTRISCH! 2. The release will include 28 tracks from various bands of the international electro scene. Involved are famous bands like Erasure, Camouflage, Client, Mesh and more. Collateral to the upcoming release a club tour took place with X-PERIENCE, MESH, MECHANICAL CABARET and PURWIEN. During this ELEKTRISCH CLUB TOUR on 27th January we went to KREFELD - the last gig on this tour because the primary last gig in HANNOVER has been cancelled by the local presenter. The fans in DRESDEN were also disappointed due the bad weather - a lot of snow blocked the streets and the band had a tight schedule, so unfortunately the show in DRESDEN had to be cancelled as well. The evening in Krefeld should be a special event, because Mesh wanted to record their performance for a Live DVD.

A mixed crowd of people who on the whole were quite a bit older than at concerts of other gothic metal related bands filled up the nice venue in Rijssen.

Stream of Passion featuring Ayreon
Less than one year after their first tour, Stream of Passion were coming back to Biebob, for the third gig of a short tour of seven concerts in Northern Europe. The multinational Stream of Passion with increasing international recognition is a gothic metal band formed in 2005 by the Dutch multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Arjen Anthony Lucassen following a rock opera project named Ayreon comprising seven albums produced between 1995 and 2004. With Ayreon, Arjen Lucassen, after having played as guitarist for various bands since 1980, wanted to make music the way he has always wanted or dreamed about, without any constraint. The result is a collection of experimental music with various styles mixing various prog, pop and rock influences in a very subtle way.

Dark Dance Treffen 20: Scary Bitches, Welle:Erdball, Die Krupps
The 20th Dark Dance Treffen was a special one because they celebrated their 6th anniversary. Therefore they planned something more than just a concert evening. The photographer and artist Timo Denz of “Hexistenz” (http://www.hexistenz.de) showed his new book and pictures for the first time. The café was decorated with his photos and his books could be bought at a special stall.
