Matrix, Bochum, Germany25th March 2008
ASP, Lahannya, Caputt
One day after Easter I went to Bochum to visit the "Matrix" - one of the most known clubs in Bochum once again. This time I was involved in the exclusive HORROR VACUI WARMUP-SHOW - the start of the current HORROR VACUI TOUR of ASP - one of the most known German gothic bands. The show was sold out and at my arrival already a lot of people were standing outside waiting to get in and inside already the foyer was well-filled too.

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…

Underground, Cologne, Germany22nd March 2008
Coppelius, Cumulo Nimbus
We had never seen or heard a song of this mysterious band called COPPELIUS before and from what we read we thought we had a good impression of what a show with the band might look like but what happened at the Underground club in Cologne hit us a bit off guard…

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!!!
