The second DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND Festival took place on 4th May 2018 in Bielefeld’s “Movie”. This year, three bands from three different countries were invited to play.<\/p>\n

COCKATOO started the night, I had only seen them six days before at Gotham Sounds Festival<\/a>. This time the Canadians had time for a proper soundcheck, so the beautiful songs sounded a bit better again. The stage lights were great as well, this made a photographer’s heart rather happy \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Afterwards, BOX AND THE TWINS were the German band of the day. When I had last seen them in 2014, they were still called “Coctail Twins”. Just as back then they delivered new-school Coldwave in the style of bands like Schonwald or The KVB, which got a good reception from the audience again.<\/p>\n

Headliners were WHISPERING SONS, a band about which I have probably written everything already. It was my seventh gig by the Belgian band, and especially the new songs like “Got a Light” or “Waste” let the time to wait for the forthcoming album appear far too long.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: A great mini festival with three great bands, and in a club that lets you get the night train to be home at 03:35 – that’s the way I like it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
