Schattenreich-Stage, Bochum, Germany15th and 16th July 2006
Sunday, 16th July: Liv Kristine, Secret Discovery, I AM X, De/Vision
The fourth day of “Bochum Total” started as sunny as the day before. It was only a little warmer and later on the bands on the “Schattenreich-stage” had to suffer a lot in the sun. To the final on Sunday four more bands entered the “Schattenreich-stage”: Liv Kristine, Secret Discovery – Bochum’s local heroes - , I AM X and De/Vision. The room in front of the stage was filled very well just for the first band and this promised a very nice concert evening where my personal favourites were I AM X.

Ahoy, Rotterdam, the NetherlandsJuly 7th 2006
Roger Waters
It was a special concert in many aspects today, first of all it has been some 2 weeks since the Roger Waters show at Arrow Rock Festival, also at the Netherlands. Then there was the fact that it was one of the only indoor shows of Roger Waters in Europe and of course it was the day Syd Barret died which remained unknown till after the weekend. The show was sold out with 10,000 fans filling up the infamous Rotterdam venue. Described by the leading Dutch music magazine 'Oor' as the concert of the year, let's see if this came true.

Saturday, 15th July: Eisheilig, Jesus on Extasy, XPQ-21, Melotron
From 13th to 16th it was time again for Europe’s biggest music festival in the heart of the Ruhr district: “Bochum Total”. Four days provided magnificent live music through all genres – with free admission! National acts met international ones; newcomer met top-acts. The festival area was as always located in the famous “Bermuda-triangle” where you can find more than 40 pubs and restaurants to party until late night. About 900.000 people celebrated this 21st “Bochum Total” with about 70 bands on four stages. The weather seemed to love the festival too and provided four days of sun and blue sky. The date for next year’s festival is just set: 21st to 24th June 2007.

P60, Amstelveen, The NetherlandsJune 23rd 2006
IAMX, Götterdämmerung, 3 Cold Men
By the time the doors of the venue opened there were just a few people waiting at the doors. Did everybody just forget to drop by or didn't people know about tonight's headliner? With IAMX announced on the venue's website as a band you have to see live before they become too big for smaller venues, the total amount of visitors made one thing clear. The whole scene excluding those 60 present sure missed something.
