Listen to Hello Moth. He doesn’t bite.
Mailbag time! Yep, we’re crowdsourcing this week’s episode of We Have A Technical, having asked folks to fire in queries both glib and philosophical dealing with the past and future of Our Thing. Which bands are being overlooked? Which side projects do we miss? And which pro wrestlers are fake goths? All that plus Cold Waves news on the new episode of the idieyoudie.com podcast!

I would really like you to take a second look at Gothik Treffen as falling the Umbrella of typical European dark festivals. The lineup this year even offers a great variety of non-typical “mainstream” darker bands. With bands such as White Lies, Vowws, Light asylum, Henric De La Cour and a variety of other noise and goth bands playing last year. Also, this year lineup has some great mainstream bands such as Neubauten and Laibach headlining a few of the main nights. The crowds are much more enthusiastic and younger than the typical crowd you find in North America. I have never experienced the feel of the festival anywhere in America. With 30 + venues, 200 bands and just a great overall city to explore.
I could add to this the many smaller festivals like Gothic Pogo, Kalabalik etc. that cater almost exclusively to the new music that’s happening in Europe now 🙂
