(19 January, 2007)

It had been a quiet few months on the gig front, so best way to make up for the drought was to pack in fourteen bands in little more than a week. This was done easily via the following... Black Celebration VIII provided plenty of website content in the form of Suicide Commando, XPQ-21, Psyche, Knifeladder, V2A, Deathboy and more. My first opportunity to sample Bill (FLA, Delerium, etc) Leeb's Conjure One project live was a no-brainer, plus the welcome return of Paul (OMD) Humphries and Claudia (Propaganda) Brücken's Onetwo project. See the A-Z of Gig Reviews for full band and gig details. Happy New Year!
