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
