I don't know the secret of this small place, Channel Zero, but the concerts here are always amazing. Thanks to sound engineers, the sound was once again close to perfect.
Croatian gothic rock outfit Phantasmagoria started with the gig a little later than it was supposed to but it offered a fine show, presenting not one but two brand-new songs - actually three, counting a cover song "Vran" of the Slovenian band Shanti Nilaya, dedicated to its recently passed-away member Marko Zorko aka Marco Obscura.
Way to go, Phantasmagoria; hopefully, your debut album will soon see the day of light after over 30 years of existence. Despite no album or because of it, you are a peculiar phenomenon.
Then, the German post-punk act Pink Turns Blue took the stage. The trio filled the place with sound, making feeling there were more musicians on the stage. The most performed songs were from its 1987's album If Two Worlds Kiss, and apparently, two worlds did kiss, according to the thrilled audience. By the way, we most enjoyed Tainted's songs - but only because they were newer and more familiar. Thank you, Pink Turns Blue, for the minimalistic (no fog, no extravagant lightning) yet "intimate" performance of all twelve plus three tracks and the interview, which followed later and will soon get published in Terra Relicta dark music web magazine.
Later there was a small afterparty with Tomi and Davorka from Phantasmagoria. Thank you, people, from Channel Zero, for keep pouring us drink and not rolling this "we are closing, please go home" jazz music but some old stuff like Bauhaus, Billy Idol, Blondie, Fugazi, Jane's Addiction, Violent Femmes,... So we swept (as we say in Slovenia when you are the last to leave) and went home, looking forward to more such occasions.
