Even thow it was raining, around 20 fans were motivated to wait in front of the venue some hours before the opening of the doors. Nicely dressed in IAMX-style they managed their way through the labyrinth of Nosturi to catch a space in the first row. The average age was under 18, a much younger audience than at all the IAMX gigs I´ve experienced before.
By the end of the support act´s performance (2 fellows doing a 80´s wave revival.), the club was well filled but not sold out. 
“Bring Me Back A Dog” and “Nature Of  Inviting” got us into the right mood and a wave of exitement went through the audience. The general atmosphere was quite good but it was nothing compared to the amazing IAMX gigs I´ve alreaday attended! The band interacted with us but still they were not on top of what they are able to!
To hear the new songs live was anyway a great exeprience and combined with all the great tunes of the past albums it was quite rejoicing for everyone´s ears! Outfits and attitudes matched with what was expected and the whole package made us forget for a while the rain outside and the probably hard day that laid behind.
I Am Terrified and Spit It Out gave us goose bumps while the “Encore” made the last ones jump and scream.

At the end a successful gig but not one of those astonishing gigs one might have expected.
