Leipzig, Germany2nd June 2006 – 5th June 2006
WGT Day 2: Anubiz, Limbogott, Lacrimas Profundere, Imperative Reaction, Necro Facility, Destroid, [:SITD:], Cat Rapes Dog, VNV Nation, Vive la Fete, Sono
As beautiful as the weather was at the first festival day, as rainy it was at the second. Luckily we planned only indoor gigs for that day and after meeting friends in the city of Leipzig our way led us to a new festival venue – the Kohlrabizirkus which is an old market hall and a very nice venue in our opinion. http://www.wave-gotik-treffen.de/

Howard Jones
It was in 1983 when Howard Jones released his first single ‘New Song’ in the UK. The expectation was that it might sell a few thousand copies and introduce his fresh new music to an unsuspecting world. The reality was quite different. The single steadily climbed the UK chart to peak at No. 3. Then came the second single ‘What Is Love?’ which reached No. 2 in the UK and the third single …the enigmatic ‘Hide and Seek’ which showed the spiritual side of Howard Jones’ writing. This was followed by the first album ‘Human’s Lib’ which came straight in at No. 1 in the UK in April 1984, eventually going platinum and which took the synthesizer and Howard to a new plateau. This success spread across the globe with ‘Human’s Lib’ going gold in USA, Japan, Germany, Italy and Australia.

Blue Moon Festival: MonsterGod, SoundQ, d'Archangel, Agonised by Love, Rotersand, Apoptygma Berzerk
The festival organized by the Polish Independent Agency Blue Moon had been long discussed as the event of the year. And whatever could be said about the number of audience or importance of the said happening – it was really well-organized, planned and prepared chance for the people of all places in Poland to meet and enjoy great music. It took place in one of the biggest clubs in Krakow – club Studio - which offered plenty of space, equipment of high quality and polite security guards. The whole party was about to start at 4.00, but due to the prolonged rehearsals it all began at about 5.30.

Glückaufkampfbahn, Gelsenkirchen, Germany06th July 2006
Tokio Hotel
During the weeks of the FIFA football championships in Germany, many cities presented a special additional program. On the Glückaufkampfbahn in Gelsenkirchen several concerts of big and well-known stars took place (we reported about the Simple Minds concert). 6th of July was the day for all the young (and very young) ladies – their idols of Tokio Hotel should enter the stage on this Thursday evening. Some fans started to occupy the area in front of the entrance days before the concert (and left huge amounts of waste too) to be as close as possible to their stars. Because of heat and rain there were logically some emergencies too and the paramedics were kept quite busy.

John Fogerty
A year ago I went to see my father’s youth hero, John Fogerty, with him for the first time and he really impressed me a lot. Again I was really looking forward to seeing him again. A really prominent fact was that the audience was a mix of younger people and people who had followed him from the beginning. By this fact we can say that Fogerty still addresses all kind of ages, which can not be said of all artists from the ‘70s.
