Saturday is always the longest day of the festival, starting at noon and finishing deep at night with an after show party. But all bands and the surrounding program of fashion show and various readings was very interesting, promising a great festival day.

The Klinik

Back in 1984, Marc Verhaeghen from Belgium started his project KLINIK. Soon Dirk Ivens from ABSOLUTE BODY CONTROL joined him and together with Eric van Wonterghem and Sandy Nys they formed ABSOLUTE CONTROLLED CLINICAL MANIACS, soon shortened to THE KLINIK. After a few years only Ivens and Verhaeghen remained. And thus the band was born and became one of the most influential Belgian industrial bands.

Zeitgeist Zero

Leeds based ZEITGEIST ZERO have a big black boot in so many different musical and visual camps, you’d think confusion would have set in. In reality they perfectly manage to inhabit their own carefully constructed and intriguingly strange, darkly glamorous world. This is a place where electro-goth, fuzzed up psychobilly and a dance driven classic rock ‘n roll bed down with a seedy art-house eroticism, jazz-era glamour and a knowing cheekiness. Their recorded output is impressively assured, genre-stretching and playful, but it’s in the live arena where the band really explode into vibrant existence. Because they don’t do gigs. Most definitely not. They put on a show. https://www.facebook.com/ZeitgeistZero / http://www.zeitgeistzero.com/
