Holle Bolle Gijs, Schoonhoven, The NetherlandsDecember 10th 2005
TBC, De Woanzin, Nuestros Derechos
On a cold and freezing night in Schoonhoven a large group of friends, some of the usual bar visitors and an other group of young people gathered in the Holle Bolle Gijs café. There was no stage, the bands were playing at one side and the audience was on the other side of the café. The lighting was provided by Christmas lights and they brought all their own equipment. No thanks to the circumstances it was a great and crazy night with great performances.

Das Ich, The Invincible Spirit, The Eternal Afflict, PTYL
A very special event was awaiting us this Friday night. Two record labels (Endless Records and Danse Macabre Records) were coming together to present a special little festival tour: Endless Danse Macabre - two bands of each label (“Ptyl” and “Das Ich” from the “Danse Macabre Label”; “The Eternal Afflict” and “The Invincible Spirit” from “Endless Promotion”) presenting old school and modern electronic music. It was a very nice combination for all the lovers of electronic music that love to dance. Website

Teviot University, Edinburgh, UKNovember 24th 2005
VNV Nation
Edinburgh on the 24th of November is very cold. Actually, it’s freezing cold. It’s the second show of the UK Formation Tour, held at Teviot University. I wasn’t too sure about the venue but I believe that doesn’t really matter. After [:SITD:] warmed up the audience, 10.30pm was rather late for VNV to enter the stage. Nevertheless, the crowd was still very awake and Ronan, Mark, Vasi and Kolja received a very warm and loud welcome. Some glow-sticks came along too, as you may have guessed.

Billy Idol
Age doesn’t matter – Sex, drugs and Rock ´n´ Roll are still alive! Do you know William Michael Albert Broad? No? It’s Billy ‘Fuckin’ Idol and he is back! This year he released a new album after a break of twelve years, which is called “Devil’s Playground” and started touring again. At his side was his old friend and guitar hero Steve Stevens, who wrote the soundtrack for the award winning movie “Top Gun” for which he received a Grammy; he also played with Michael Jackson (“Dirty Diana”) for example and put the finishing touches to the Idol songs. Now Billy Idol arrived in Düsseldorf, which was the last concert of a 10 months lasting tour. The show started at 20:00. No support was needed. Billy and the band were enough.
