Amphi Festival in Cologne
Cologne in July. Most people come for the cathedral, the river cruises, maybe a Kölsch or two. Me? I came for the darkness and industrial noise at Amphi Festival, the annual pilgrimage of the black-clad faithful, where leather is a second skin and daylight is considered an occupational hazard.
Music on the street
I see people with headphones everywhere and I often wonder what they listen to. On the street, in the office, at the tram… I had an idea to make something out of this, but as usual someone else had already done it. So here you are.
Kalabalik festival in Alvesta
I spent the weekend at an old amusement park in the deepest forests of Småland. It sounds like the plot of a bad zombie-splatter movie, but it was even better.
Hultsfred the zombie festival
Hultsfredsfestivalen is the annual event that died last year but somehow got resurrected by the Scorpio necromancers to once more lay waste to the shores of lake Hulingen. Since the Arvika festival was canceled a few weeks ago, this is one of the few places left in Sweden for large outdoor festivals.
Das Boot to Tallinn
As our ship was leaving the port in Stockholm, we were getting ready for a weekend with Das Boot. This is an annual sort of festival, where the ship goes from to Stockholm to various places. This year the journey was going across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn.
Report from Døgnvill festival in Tromsø
Just saying the name Tromsø feels like a mouthful of cold wind and reindeer fat. Tucked far above the Arctic Circle, this Norwegian outpost isn’t the kind of place you’d expect to find thousands of music lovers losing their minds to global headliners.
Rammstein fires up Metaltown
The 2009 edition of Metaltown saw artists such as Marilyn Manson and Slipknot, but I was looking forward to this year, since it was time to finally be welcoming back the German fire monsters of Rammstein.
Vince festival in Karlskrona
There is a new electronic festival in Sweden. The Vince festival, named after legendary Vince Clarke, is located in Karlskrona.
Best concerts of 2009
This year has seen a lot of concerts around the world, perhaps in some way related to the decrease in record sales which forces the artists to hit the roads. Regardless of the reason I estimate that I saw about 80 gigs during the year, and here are some of the highlights.
The Station at Jazzhuset
The dynamic duo behind classic club Romo Night have returned. The new club is called The Station, which is a spiritual successor to their previous effort Romo Night which sadly closed down two years ago.
