For the already 22nd time, the Rocknacht took place to please all the Rock fans out there in Germany and beyond - German TV channel WDR filmed this event for the “Rockpalast” series - with some of the finest artists this genre has to offer.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany28th March 2008
Northern Lite, Chapeau Claque
Their last album ‘Unisex’ was an incredible success for NORTHERN LIGHT on which they’ve opened their sonic horizons to many new influences without becoming ‘mainstream’ because of their attendance at the “Bundesvision Song Contest”. With their recently released new full-length ‘Super Black’ the band continues their very own way of making music. Yesterday, Bochum was the city that should be brought to a boil…

Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany15th March 2008
Gothic Aid: New Days Delay, Pesticide, On the Floor, Fetisch:Mensch, Cyan Inc., Sono, The Promise, Rotersand, Zeraphine, Project Pitchfork
The second Gothic Aid Charity festival took place on 15th March at the Markthalle in Hamburg for the good of a children’s hospice (http://www.sternenbruecke.de/) and many people were following the call. No wonder as you’ll hardly get to see any band in other places for a price of 20, - EUR. The Markthalle was divided into two separate locations: The big hall provided perfect conditions contrary to the small “Marx”. Basically this separation was a good idea. More of that later. It was planned to switch between the two locations with only minor interceptions. Well, at least it worked out at the beginning. But even if there were smaller technical problems and partly very differing performances on stage, we all should pay all involved respect for their efforts on this evening and say Thank You!!!

Nightwish, Pain & Krieger
On Wednesday the 19th March we went to Dortmund to enjoy NIGHTWISH at their current tour, which is the first tour with the new singer and I was very anxious to her and the new show. We had just arrived at the venue - a half hour before the announced starting time - when already the lights went out and the first support band KRIEGER entered the stage.
