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.
