an:idea (5/10)
Start 23:05 / End 23:35
Martial dark electro wave from a german duo to start the evening in this post apocalyptic venue obtained from a basement in East Berlin. Nothing impressive, sometimes a bit boring too.
Tobias Bernstrup (6/10)
Start 24:20 / End 01:15
I liked him and I don’t want to sound hurtful but it was as if a Marilyn Manson dressed in red latex had sung 80’s Disco in Raffaella Carra’s style. Something worthwhile to be seen live once. That’s Berlin too.
Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat (7/10)
Start 01:40 / End 02:45
Once the not-smoking audience has been finally completely intoxicated by the smoking ones in the 6×6 m concert area, the headliner band Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat came up to the small stage. The trio offered to his public a great concert, good songs selection among their albums, privileging the aggressive ones so that the singer could pull out the song words directly from his stomach while raping his guitar. Live you receive better their curse and they are master to create a really “Weltuntergangsstimmung”. Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat played a new song too that has increased my expectation for the next album. After a 3 songs encore they left the stage seeing with a bit of surprise this enthusiastic public asking always for more. We’ll waiting for you again, Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat! Happy to have sacrificed my lungs…

Berlin / Madame Claude / Mushy + Black Tar Jesus + Mystical Communication Service

Mystical Communication Service (7/10)
Start 22:05 / End 22:45
Instrumental trio playing ethnic jazz flamenco psychedelic blues without drums. A sort of Stinking Lizaveta after a long journey in south Spain. A really interesting trio headed by a long beard guy dressed with an Indian vest. Check Mystical Communication Service’s music here and download it for free, it’s worthwhile I promise!
Black Tar Jesus (5/10)
Start 23:05 / End 23:30
A guy looking like Tarantino playing a sort of intimate garage rock with his electrical guitar. I think he has been penalized by not having his band with him. I would had said 6 but I can’t if I want to be honest with the other bands of the evening. I know Black Tar Jesus would be much better in “normal condition”. Just try to listen something here and you’ll agree with me!
Mushy (7/10)
Start 23:40 / End 24:20
Fog all around you. Darkness. Shadows from moon light moving near you. Echos from far away. Feet stuck in mud. But you don’t have fear, you close your eyes and indulge yourself in this void. Industrial gothic drone dark wave shoegaze. Call it as you want but that it’s what you feel at Mushy’s live experience. The drum machine accompanies you during this adventure simulating your heartbeat. When the drum machine boosts the bpm, you stand upon the fog and you see the dawn in front of you, you see the sun but it’s still cold, you run towards it. You smile and you think you’re feeling good but it’ cold outside and it’s cold inside you because Mushy’s voice is still there freezing you.
