SPARE TICKETS

Probably too late here, but i've just had a bit of a horrid 2 weeks including my partner being very ill, and then getting stranded in Nepal for 2 days and then due to 4 days without sleep from that having a huge fever and ending up bed ridden myself....


So Resistanz is a no go i'm afraid and I have 3 tickets for it.


Selling them on Ebay (only ones) if anyone is interested - pass message around. No reserve and they will no doubt go very cheap.

Yeah to some extent, a lot of people in the 'scene' as it were tend to like him.



That's a shame, sorry to hear about that :( Probably the best place to stick it is the Resistanz Facebook page?

Yeah I wasn't going to do it in case they didn't like me advertising tickets there but what the hell, there is not too many days left now.

Totally gutted but with everything else lately it's just went bottom of my priorities! Always next time.
 
...that has already been said. Besides they aren't really anyway. They started out as psytrance but their current music is not really psytrance, no idea what it is really!
 
i used to love psy/goa trance. its what got me hooked and i bought some technics decks about 20 years ago (man, was it really that long ago???) i have to admit i lost most of the 90s ;) some good times.... i assume :D

some of this above stuff is a bit odd. like nazi gabba :D

some of it sounds like the front 242/NiN me and a mate used to listen to while tripping. NiN can really mess up your head :)
 
Will be going to Resistanz on the Sunday - purely for MIAB and Icon of Coil :p
 
I can't wait. It's a shame Rotersand cancelled but I'm looking forward to seeing Nachtmahr, Memmaker, Grendel and mind.in.a.box again, they're all brilliant live. Very much looking forward to seeing Soman and of course Icon of Coil for the first time :D

Never been to Resistanz before, I wonder if it's as fashion focussed as Infest is, I'm not making much of an effort this year!

I found Infest to be *too* much about scene/fashion tbh, but I've seen Apop, Covenant and FLA there so it was all worthwhile :)
 
Needless to say had a great weekend, Icon of Coil were even better than I expected and Memmaker were brilliant again.

I like the festival but Infest still edges it slightly, the stage area is a bit bigger and there isn't such a big choke point trying to get out of the stage area! Also better drink choice.
 
At least the drinks were cheap :p
It's a pity the speakers weren't set up for guitars.. The feedback during MIAB really ruined their performance :(
Icon were awesome tho!
 
Bringing this one back after finding my thread in a google search on EBM gigs in Newcastle. lol.

I ended up missing Resistanz afterall last year as my partner took ill during a hike in the Himalayers the week before.

To make up for it though we went over to Cologne for Amphi Festival which was amazing. The line up was insane and the venue was great. Hopefully get back this year.

Doesn't seem to be many up and coming gigs at the minute. But Celldweller are at Resistanze 13 and nobody can come with me :-( WTF!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah I want to go to Resistanz for Celldweller but my group are doing Infest this year (I will as well)

I may just get a Sunday trip and coach it up. I HAVE to see Celldweller. Would be far more convenient if he announced some more dates though!
 
Only 1 of my mates likes the music enough to go but he's got 2 kids (one just born 2 months ago) so can't get away for 2 days.

My partner likes a lot of the music but doesn't fancy the line up this year.

Think i'll just find some internet folk to go with. I'll be taking the car down so has to be some people who will.
I'll even offer to buy another mate a ticket if he takes his spending money as he doesn't mind the music just wouldn't go out of his way to see it.

I just thought Celldweller were one of those i'd simply never see. Not sure if he comes over here often
 
Would've thought you'd be camping outside the venue already shami

He never comes here. Ever. No matter how much we beg he always invariably goes to Russia.

I should probably go since I've probably listened to Celldweller every day now from 2008 onwards. Massively influential/inspiration. Probably won't though, I'm just not into the whole EBM 'scene'.

It is just a DJ set and I'd prefer to see the full live band but it'll still be awesome to hear that music live.

I'm not into the whole 'scene' thing either I just love the music. I stick out like a sore thumb at these places looking like i'm going out to a fancy cocktail bar not an EBM festival but that's just how I dress. It's quite funny having all these 'alternative' folks judging you with their eyes as they themselves complain about others doing to them outside of these events.

It's all just about the music to me and EBM is by far my favorite type of music so I don't care.


Mind you at Amphi last year some of the fashion was really cool. Some people must have spent a small fortune on their outfits. Not sure how they could put up with being in it all day like.




To be honest the line up isn't the greatest for me this time around but as i've seen all the bands I like before except Celldweller. So it'd just be the Sunday for me if I can get someone to come.
