For our last gig of the year, we had the pleasure of having the (international) noise conspiracy rock the kufa before the xmas break. Metro opened the preceedings, I haven't seen them for a while, but their new stuff is 'ganz gudd' , their opening song in particular seems to really stick in my head. They have an EP or something coming out towards the start of next year so can look forward to that.
T(I)NC exploded onto the stage around 21h40 or so, all wearing skinny jeans and purple suits, high octane 70s inspired rock with a massive backdrop of their new album that just got released, I had never gotten to see them before but given the show they put on i was asking myself why, a really solid performance and a great way to finish off 2008.
Despite it being the holiday season I'm really happy to announce some new great shows for 2009, which all got confirmed in the past week or so:
24/02 - My Vitriol (UK) - think shoegazing meets grunge, big soundscapes with great melody, it might be on a wednesday, but they haven't been too active since their amazing record 'finelines' released in 2001 , taking a 4-5year break since, a band well worth seeing in my opinion

(** amended date, due to routing issues they will be playing on the 24th of February **)
11/03 - Cult of Luna - absolutely crushing, saw them in London scala earlier this year, very impressive not only to watch but to experience, their sound really hits hard
18/03 - The Ocean, Burst, Bison BC -
Just confirmed, the ocean return to the kufa as part of a very impressive package, Burst will be presenting their new album 'lazarus bird' connaisseurs will probably remember them. Bison BC have been likened to Mastodon, absolutely great reviews from a lot of various press/magazines, insider's tip =0 definately
27/03 - Tomte - hamburgschule, awesome indie with a subtle touch
08/04 - Poison the well - Their first ever visit in Luxembourg, a big name within the hardcore/metalcore scene that they pretty much started off in the late 90's with their first EP and the LP 'opposite of december' , they have evolved into more experimental territory now, but still hit hard
18/04 - Out of the Crowd festival ... No word on the lineup just yet, but It's one of those things that you can just recommend in advance, great way to spend easter ;)
If you're wondering, Benabar has been sold out barely a few weeks after announcing it, which is why I haven't listed it here, it will be a hectic night for sure
Lastly, my band La Fa Connected, has just released a 5 song EP , free to download and stream on myspace

We play indie influenced guitar rock =0 , it's free either way so have a look if you have time.
Anyhow, all the best for the end of the year, and hope to see you all in 2009
take care
