These days, it's hard for bands to finance a new release or to finance the promotion around it. It's becoming more and more a method for bands to release new material with the (financial) help of their fans.
Oswald henke's band, HENKE, is also looking for fans to support their new album, “Maskenball der Nackten”.
You can already support them for only 25 euro, which will give you a signed copy of this new release. But also a meet & greet on the tour , or even visiting the band while recording the album are possibilities.
Check it out, & don't forget to support !
EKLIPSE will be the official and in style opening-act for SHADOWPLAY 2012!
Eklipse is a classical string quartet band from Germany formed in 2011, mainly playing classical covers of pop and rock songs. The instruments used are a Cello, viola and two violins. They released their debut album A Night in Strings in 2012, consisting purely of covers. They gained some publicity by supporting Nightwish on their European Tour in 2012.
These lovely ladies will open Shadowplay on the 13th of July ! Be there !
As the saying goes: "The early bird catches the worm"! Eight months before the event, Protain, the organizers, are already announcing their Christmas Ball Festivals, which will be held in Cologne, Hanover and Berlin on 25th, 26th and 27th December 2012.
For the 6th edition, the line-up will be headlined by the Bavarian electro-rockers EISBRECHER, whose current opus „Die Hölle muss warten“ („Hell has to wait“) is doing very well in the charts. Furthermore electronic-pioneers PROJECT PITCHFORK will return in 2012 for more Christmas Ball extravaganza. With heavy electronics and inventive sounds the band from Hamburg combines strong lyrical concepts with timeless sounds for a dark club culture, still holding on close to the wind after more than 20 years. The program also includes US-based band THE CRÜXSHADOWS and Berlin-based newcomers THE WARS.
Ticket pre-selling for the Christmas Ball Festivals starts today, on 27.04.2012. Tickets are available at the Protain ticketshop under www.protain-ticket.de. The ticket price amounts at 29,00 € plus charges.

Due to very bad pre-sales the BodyBeats organisation was forced to cancel their festival. Read their comment below.
We hope this will inspire more people to buy tickets in pre-sales for all kinds of events - since this is the only way our beloved organizers can keep up their good work. All our respect & gratitude go to BBP !
BODYBEATS FEST 2012 CANCELLED!
It's with pain in our heart we have to announce that we decided to cancel our BodyBeats Festival 2012.
The reason is simple: Almost no pre-sale tickets sold! :( With only one week to go this is the hard but right decision to make.
Not cancelling this event would jeopardize the future of BodyBeats
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused to some of you.
