De/Vision, Janosch Moldau, X-Divide
According to the tour’s title “20 Jahre live – Electronic Set”, DE/VISION has been a very successful Electro Pop representative in Germany. The formation that consists of Steffen Keth (vocals) and Thomas Adam (keyboards) guarantees a constantly catchy and danceable sound that fills up the clubs´ dance floors; just remember the guys´ hits such as `Try to forget´, `Hands on my Skin´, `Blue Moon´ or `I regret´. Furthermore, the band has always enthused due to its courage to be open-minded concerning the further development of its sound. In 2000, while DE/VISION was recording the album `Void´, the band members brought electric guitars on board, whereas the band had been known and loved for Synth-based music before. In 2007, they went back to their roots and released the more electronic long-player `Noob´.

Zeromancer, Scream Silence, Essence of Mind
The band from Norway that partly arose from the formation SEIGMEN, was founded in Los Angeles in 1999. One year later and with a sensational bang by releasing the single `Clone your Lover´, the music of ZEROMANCER found its way onto the clubs’ dance floors. After the album of the same title had been published, the band was able to build up a solid fan base and to raise the scene’s awareness in Europe. Followed by extended club tours, being part of the line-up at many festivals and the release of the album `Eurotrash´ (2002), the Norwegians proved that they weren’t a flash of a pan. In 2003, the album `Zzyzx´ surprised by a stylistic change to softer melodies that had been audibly influenced by pop music patterns. That development led to divided opinions. It should take six years until the eagerly awaited album `Sinners International´ could be purchased. The recording was produced all by themselves and satisfied the expectations of the fans that were looking forward to the “Sinners International tour” ZEROMANCER is on right now. http://www.myspace.com/zeromancer, http://www.zeromancer.com/

Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany4th April 2009
Coppelius
The German author E. T. A. HOFFMANN (1776-1822) and his acts are an important source of inspiration for the Berlin band COPPELIUS that named itself after the mean advocate in the novel “Der Sandmann” (“The Sandman”). The sestet, consisting of the butler Bastille (vocals), Max Coppella (vocals, clarinet), Graf Lindorf (vocals, cello), Comte Caspar (vocals, clarinet), Nobusama (drums) and Sissy Voss (double bass), didn’t only commit itself to the era of the German Romanticism, but also set a high value on being authentic concerning appearance and language. By releasing the EPs `Coppelius´ (2003), `1803´ (2004) and `To my Creator´ (2005) followed by the long-players `Time-Zeit´ (2007) and `Tumult!´ (2009), the band gained a lot of fans who are fascinated by the extraordinary sound and the special performance on stage.
