I literally have no expectations except for Dead Stars. I don't even mind that it wasn't played ... just seemed odd. I really like their entire catalogue from Dreams of a Cryotank through to Northern Light; I just get a little selective with their tracks after that point.

I dunno, from what I've read (still need to see them live myself  ) Covenant seems to switch their sets around a bit all the time, which I think is super cool. Definitely better than some bands that just run the same drat setlist for years.In other news, it was about loving time

Does anybody have any recommendations for bands similar to Ministry in the 90s? I'm referring to the albums Psalm 69, Filth Pig and The Dark Side Of The Spoon to be precise. To give a better idea of the style I love, here's a few songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wWwBJESW2g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-nULlfJDvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acJABWTm7ig I particularly love Al's garbled/underwater sounding vocals, which I've never come across with any other band before, and I'm not sure how easy it is to discover anything similar to Al Jourgensen on a ten year heroin binge but figured it's worth asking at least?

Uncle Al has been involved in a poo poo ton of projects and there's a crew of musicians that played/toured together often that have a similar sound but definitely not identical.

I had a good time at InFest. A very, very drunk time to be honest. The main problem with the festival this year, and it was a pretty big one, was that it obviously hadn't sold well at all. There seemed to be about half the amount of people there that I'd have expected on Friday and Saturday, and it was still far quieter than normal on Saturday. This doesn't bode well for the future I guess, which is a shame since much as I enjoyed Resistanz earlier in the year, Infest has a pretty diverse lineup which usually has a lot of appeal and some aspects of it appeal more than Resistanz did. Dunno if it was because of the whole KMDFM pulling out thing, or general scene issues due to there now being Resistanz as well or somesuch. Anyway, I could talk about the bands that I had already expected to be good, but I'd rather talk about the ones I hadn't heard of (aside from mentioning that A Split Second were amazing and apparently they're trying to get some of the impossible to find old stuff re-released) Resist were a somewhat late 90s-sounding (in a good way) guitar+synth female fronted industrial act that I'd never heard of before but thought were great. Tenek were a total surprise to me - one of my friends had heard of them, but I hadn't (apparently they used to be The Nine?) and they turned out to be this awesome synthpop band who had a sort of Heaven 17 turned up to eleven vibe at times. Blitzmaschine were straight up German EBM (in the sense of Nitzer Ebb, Spetsnaz etc rather then EBM as a wider term) with a really lively singer who seemed like a pretty cool guy. They weren't doing anything new or inventive with the genre, but were one of the better bands of that ilk that I've seen live. I really wasn't expecting to have got really into the first three bands on the Sunday afternoon, but by the time Blitzmaschine finished I was already knackered!

Yep, it was loving empty. Really strange, I'll agree that it felt like half the normal number of people showed up. Winterkaelte stole the show for me though. I am a noise addict. My mum had a really good time, I thought she would like the 80s synth sounding bands most like Spacebuoy, but nope, turns out she liked the noise bands most. Guess I raised her well. Anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Resistanz is a much better event as Infest currently stands. I don't think it's "scene" issues as such, more people seem to attend Resistanz than did Infest 2012. IMO, it's mostly that the line up was a little subpar. I think the KMFDM pull out definitely hurt them a lot. I think that, money being how it is right now, people may have had to chose between Infest and Resistanz, the line up being what it was it's no surprise that Resistanz would have won out. (Also Bradford continues to be a hateful place.) I'm clearly in the wrong country anyway, the best music event in the world for me (line-up wise) as far as I'm concerned is Maschinenfest.

The Resistanz venue didn't seem as good as the Infest one for socialising though (particularly later in the evening, unless you liked basically being outside), and the DJs after the bands didn't seem as popular as it (usually) is at Infest. I mean, I'm going to Resistanz next year regardless, but I'd be happiest with a somewhat broader lineup than last year that covers from the synthpop end of things through futurepop and EBM all the way to rhythmic noise type stuff. I certainly won't disagree about Bradford as a place sucking though. It really does. But one (or two!) festivals somewhere that aren't mainland Europe or (thank god!) London is awesome anyway.

I went to Kinetik this year. My brother and myself had been planning on a trip up to Montreal for a few months, and the weekend just happened to coincide with our schedules. So why not pop in for a night? That is, we only went for the "electro" night on Sunday. So the notable bands we saw: Blutengel, S.P.O.C.K and SITD. We didn't have it in us to spend all weekend at the gothic-industrial festival, I'm afraid to say. Kinda wanted to get out and do other things in the city. And considering we have absolutely no connection to any kind of "scene" culture or anyone in it, hanging around wasn't much of a priority. That said, there were a few notable things. One, watching the guys from Hocico at the back of the hall singing along to S.P.O.C.K's "Dr. McCoy." SITD were incredible, and I'm more looking forward to seeing them open for Icon of Coil later this year than the headliner. Blutengel are hilarious and extremely entertaining. My feeling is that if you're going to take a ludicrous concept like vampire romance, then you should take it as far as you can possibly go. Also, the girl on the balcony shaking a strand of garlic at the stage and Chris Pohl -- completely in character -- grimacing at her. loving hilarious. And going out for a slice of pizza across the street before SITD and having a line of riot police a few hundred feet away. Then nearly getting clocked by a thrown bottle a few minutes after that. And seeing a tear gas grenade explode further up the street. Montreal really fits a kind of bombed-out dystopian image that this kind of music represents.

Pohl's got a magical touch for devastating pop hooks and synth lines, and the aesthetics are just hilariously overblown. I'd love to see that poo poo live, from what I've seen it's more like a theater play than a concert.

I'd love to see that poo poo live, from what I've seen it's more like a theater play than a concert. Speaking of that. Before coming to Kinetik they showed up on Mexican TV. They apparently have a pretty big following there. (Which also demonstrates again that Mexicans have much better taste than us in the States.)

To make another point about all of this. Goth is pure aesthetics. That's a bit different from industrial's punk roots, with all the political messages that come packaged with that. There's really no politics whatsoever to goth, which is probably the reason why it never seems to age and seemingly comes back from the dead again and again and is immortal (see what I'm doing here). I like that and the celebration of camp for its own sake. The other thing is bathos. Blutengel drips it. But they do bathos without it being bad. It's these super serious FLY INTO THE NIGHT WITH ME songs but it's done as conventional electro-pop, and that juxtaposition is what's so hilarious and entertaining. Anyways, I should report back from Covenant tomorrow night. Ivan Shitskin fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Sep 1, 2012 |

Amduscia were supposed to play at a festival here in Texas a few months back but they pulled out ... and then the whole thing was cancelled at the last minute. Ahhh. Anyways. Should I see Suicide Commando? If anyone wants to say, you have about a month or so to talk me in or out of it. Edit: Yeah they're playing in Philadelphia, Austin, Los Angeles and Denver. That looks like it. And the Austin show is on a Saturday. I guess that means I'm going. Ivan Shitskin fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Sep 7, 2012 |

I used to like Nachtmahr. Well, that first album was great. But I think he's just gone way off the deep end now. I wonder if the whole "With us or against us" posturing is a response to the Adversary guys? (You KNOW people are going to buy that book. )
