Hannover / Cologne / Dortmund / Hamburg, GermanyFebruary 2006
Covenant, Client, Rotersand
In February 2006 central Europe had the pleasure to get a very exciting live package. Swedish heroes ‘Covenant’ hit the road for the first leg of their Skyshaper 2006 Tour and brought two very special guests for their shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Italy - German Electro shooters ‘Rotersand’ and ‘Client’, the all-girl band from Andy Fletcher’s (‘Depeche Mode’) label ‘Toast Hawaii’. Enough reasons to attend a total of four shows and share this experience with all of you.

Dynamo, Eindhoven, the NetherlandsOctober 29th 2005
One Inch Men, Feed Forward, Treadstone 71, Xenomorph, Sun Caged, Seraphique, Prostitute Disfigurement, Up The Irons
This Saturday I went to the opening festival of the Dynamo venue, because I was invited by their promoter Joyce. Eight Dutch metal bands from different metal genres would perform in two parts of the venue; the basement where the cafe is and a concert hall that can hold about 500 people. We arrived an hour early so we first sought a café in the sun where Joyce joined us for a while, before we went back to the venue to see the first bands.

Nemesea day report
June 17th 2005
Because the trains didn’t ride on June 17th, I decided to go to Groningen at the day before and I spent the night at my friend’s place. The following day, Sonny, bass guitarist of Nemesea would pick me up at the train station of Groningen to go to the first concert of the day the band had, which was at the No Limits Event in Emmen. Nemesea would be the support act of Within Temptation.
We drove to Assen, where we would meet the rest of the band who’d loaded the van with the stuff gathered at Chris’ place (the drummer) and we arrived when they’d just finished. Chris drove along with Sonny and me, whereas Manda (vocalist), Berto (keys), Martijn and Hendrik-Jan (guitarists) plus their crew were seated in the bus.

Seven New Songs by Depeche Mode In A Rushby Thomas Vänker of Intro magazine, translated by Niggels Uhlenbruch
Monday, 4th of July , 5:27 pm, London: A quick handshake by Mute boss Daniel Miller and here we go, deeper into what looked like a normal English house from outside. In fact it´s rather one of these private clubs, of which folks like us only hear about from the tabloids, when Boris Becker gets foisted yet another child upon him (okay, that happened actually in a high-end restaurant but you get the picture, don’t you?) or when some banker gets arrested red-handedly because of some sort of dubious financial transaction.
Today the ground floor of this salacious and beautiful club (a harmonic mix of British conservatism and Greek-ish interior design and art) is in the hands of the most important band in the world – no, not Kiss, I´m talking about Depeche Mode!
