SOFIA ROCKS 2013 RAMMSTEIN, Bullet for My Valentine, Enslaved, Hämatom, Lafrontera 26.07.2013 г., Vassil Levski stadium words by Stefan Topuzov, photo: Balkan Entertainment There are many bands that pick a certain quality of music and then take it to a new level.

BLOODHOUND GANG and PIRANHA live in SOFIA
BLOODHOUND GANG Piranha 23.07.2013, ‘Маймунарника’, София текст: Александър Бояджиев, снимки: Елена Ненкова Трудно ми е да пиша репортаж за концерт на група, която никога не съм слушал и за да е минимално тъпо, ще съм максимално кратък. Всъщност, естествено знам няколко от най-големите хитове на BLOODHOUND GANG от времената, когато ги въртяха регулятно по MTV и […]
CLUTCH live in Thessalonika, Greece
CLUTCH Planet of Zeus 13.07.2013, Principal Club Theatre, Thessaloniki, Greece words and photos by Ivaylo Alexandrov Let me start by breaking the stereotype that in Bulgaria we are the greatest rock audience. No, we’re not. The Greeks are. Yes, those people who live in crisis and make noise with it, which receive financial help from […]

PARKWAY DRIVE + Melekh + Smut in Sofia
PARKWAY DRIVE Melekh, Smut 05.06.2013, *MIXTAPE 5*, София текст: Стефан Топузов Вини Пол веднъж беше казал по повод Pantera, че това, метъл банда да излезе от Тексас е невероятно “като да видиш змия през зимата.” Същото е да живееш в България и да видиш на живо метъл група, докато тя още е гореща, случваща […]
CANCER BATS + Them Frequencies + Blackmail +Torah
CANCER BATS Them Frequencies, Blackmail, Torah 03.06.2013, *MIXTAPE 5*- Venue B, Sofia words by Stiff No offence, but in some cases three support bands can bee too much. It’s still better than those gigs featuring 7 or even 8 bands before the main one, because there were so many such concerts, but hanging in between […]

RIVERSIDE 27.05.2013, Sofia Live Club, Sofia words by Nikola Shahpazov, photo: Elena Nenkova (coming soon) After two splendid Sofia gigs (in 2010 for Tangra Mega Rock’s fourth birthday and exactly one year later for the independent media’s fifth birthday celebration) it is hard to find the right words with which to describe truthfully what happened, let alone […]
DEPECHE MODE live in Sofia
DEPECHE MODE 12 май, стадион ‘Локомотив’, София текст: Христина Димитрова Още си спомням с умиления първия концерт на Depeche Mode, който гледах – ‘Devotional по Ефир 2. Било е сигурно 1993-4 и бях в такъв потрес от видяното, че още на следващия ден изтърчах в магазина на Unison да си купя ‘Songs of Faith and Devotion’. […]
