Die Kur 20th Anniversary

Die Kur marked their 20th anniversary with a gig at The Dome – it was meant to be the Underworld but for technical reasons was moved to this bigger and better venue, with a six-band line-up covering a number of different metal styles.

I was originally meant to provide DJ support for a couple of bands earlier on, but technicalities also meant I ended up support DJing the whole show. This meant an unexpected airing of several styles I seldom play. But never afraid to throw a little variety in…..

Cannibal Corpse – Make Them Suffer
Morbid Angel – Immortal Rites
At The Gates – Suicide Nation

<Francesco Fonte Band>

Nevermore – Final Product
Slayer – Angel Of Death

<Apothis>

Grave Digger – Rebellion (The Clansmen)
Iron Maiden – The Number Of The Beast
Black Sabbath – Heaven & Hell

<The Heretic Order>

The Chaos Engine – Employee Of The Year
The Clay People – Awake
NIN – Wish
Fear Factory – Self-Bias Resistor

<Die Kur>

Alternative Bring’n’Buy Sale – June 2018

The Alt Bring’n’Buy had a break in the Spring, but it came back today.  As far as the DJing goes, I had originally planned to stop last December, but the break allowed me to find some fresh things to play, so whilst Scott and Zaira handled the bulk of the music, I still put in an hour 1pm-2pm.

Kloq – You Never Know
Alien Vampires – You Wish Me Dead Get In Line
Studio-X – To Hell
Syrian – Enforcer
Code 64 – Without You

Second Disease – Desire
2nd Face – Instinct

I did considerably more DJing over the road afterwards.

Alternative Bring’n’Buy Sale – December 2017

The December edition of the ABBS was hit by snow on the morning of the event, but despite a thinner crowd than normal, we still carried on as usual.  Scott handled the early part of the DJ, whilst DJs Grimorg and Demondaz played later on.  This left me with:

12 noon-1pm – Lunchtime Selection

On this occasion, a good old mix-of-all-sorts-of-stuff.

Obszon Geschopf – Rue Morgue Creature
Out Out – E&E
Acumen (Nation) – Anchorite
Unheilig – Herz Aus Eis (played with great irony…..)

3pm – Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Crossover Dance
