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
