Shadowplay Festival Day 2: Love Like Blood, A Split Second, Hocico, Absolute Body Control, Agonoize, The Beauty of Gemina, Solitary Experiments, Tying Tiffany, SAM, Lizard Smile, Mirexxx, Cruise[CTRL]
At 12.30, when the first band was supposed to start at the Peek-A-Boo Stage, the technicians were still working hard to build stage. The program thus started late again, leaving us some time socialise (and regret not having the chance of catching another hour of sleep). Luckily, today the organizers were able to make very swift transitions from one stage to another, so halfway of the event were more or less back to the original schedule again. Except for the headliner LOVE LIKE BLOOD, newer dark electro acts were mostly performing on the main stage and Peek-A-Boo stage had more old-school bands going on. This scheme was repeated on Sunday.

Kyuss Lives!
KYUSS LIVES! again with original member John Garcia calling it back from the dead with a slightly different band constellation. The band toured through Europe already for the Hellfest, where, by chance or fate, two other former KYUSS members were playing, and those were more than eager to join in again. The reactions to that were accordingly. Now it is 2011 and the band is coming over to Europe again to make venues on the old continent a melting pot, and even a new album is scheduled at some point in the future. But first things first…

Amphi Festival 2011 Day 1 Staatenhaus: Hocico, Suicide Commando, Leaether Strip, In Strict Confidence, Grendel, Frozen Plasma, Winterkälte, Mind.in.a.Box, Klangstabil
The first day at Staatenhaus was committed entirely to the electronic side of music and covered a wide range of influences from experimental to industrial over to the harsh and the poppy. This promised to be very interesting.

Shadowplay Fest Day 1: Fields Of The Nephilim, Suicide Commando, Diary of Dreams, The March Violets, Krystal System
Previously known as Gothic Festival and taking place in Belgium Waregem, the festival changed its name into Shadowplay Festival and also moved location to the expo in Belgium Kortrijk, just a few kilometres away from the old venue. The first festival day was also shortened a bit, so it was planned to start at 6pm and offering all in all five bands during the evening.

Pasta2Go. Now in case you’re wondering if the author of this text is completely nuts I can assure you he is and he’s not ashamed of showing it. Well, during our preparations for Amphi festival we encountered Pasta2Go and figured it should be part of the introduction and a recommendation to the Amphi organizers to keep such little lunch packages for busy photographers at the press tent. Anyway, that and a few other things set the right mood for this first day of Amphi festival that we hoped would go with as little rain as possible.
