Thanks to the Sanctuary CZ crew for their hardwork and for inviting me to be part of the PGT , all the bands and DJ’s and everyone who came along making it a great event and shook their boots on the dance floor 😉
Arriving back in Prague on 27th August two things struck me immediately – how much I had missed the city (its people, atmosphere, and the excellent Czech food and drink) and how hot it was compared to the UK – a scorching 30C.
Large Bone above The Roxy bar
In the evening I went to the Roxy Club to catch Viet Cong melting in a sea of Tote Bags and Hipsters. A great concert, despite the heat. At a nearby mini market I discovered a great selection of full skull shaped absinth bottles but it was impossible to get a picture. After the gig I went with my old friend Pavel to record an interview and play some songs on Dark Wave Radio Wave

Day 1 of the PGT10 and The Sanctuary CZ crew pulled out all the stops to make this the most memorable one so far. What a great decision to have a Gothic cruise to kick start the weekend. Great music from the Sanctuary DJ’s and DJ Totentanz made the perfect soundtrack for a cruise in darkness. Somehow a normal couple made it on board and started to make the usual conversation along the lines ” So are you guys vampires?” They were assured we weren’t, however it was suggested if they would like they would like to make their way below they were welcome to take part in the human sacrifice 😉
This cruise will be a lasting memory for everyone fortunate enough to be on board. Great start!
Day 2 – didn’t make it to the picnic as I wanted to make sure I was on top form for the evening and have a few drinks without turning to ash 😉

Thanks to everyone who came along and danced despite the heat and drain from the previous nights partying on the ship 😉
Despite being melted by the heat following a 20 minute mid morning visit to the zoo I think it was around 35 at 12.00 I managed to cool down at the excellent Artists and Prophets at Narodni Galerie which dispelled my belief that the USA was responsible for hippies in the 60’s and 70’s as it is infact the Germans to blame for the birth of the hippies especially Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach who modelled himself on Jesus and nearly founded GOD GMBH for his hippie commune and followers. It was then pointed out in the evening that it might explain why hippies like VW beetles 😉
Klub 007 Strahov one of the oldest clubs in Prague for live music played host’s to two excellent bands Totenwald & Horror Vacui.
Not the easiest of venues to get to, so a big thanks to the Gothic people familiar with Prague for ensuring I got there and back without getting lost 😉 Well worth the effort to get there and not just because it had Rekordelig pear cider but great sound and atmosphere.
What a great end to a great event. A big thanks to Ez, Pavel, Nephilim, Samgarr, Paesant, Va & Anna, The Sanctuary crew and everyone else who by being there made the event great 😉 Look forward to be back in Prague a lot sooner than my last visit 🙂
Despite Jet2’s best efforts to re-enact the experience of death by being locked in a sweat box in Japanese prisoner of war camp or to imagine one is a boil in the bag meal after the idiots had everyone incarcerated on the plane for nearly 60 mins with no doors open, no aircon working due to a technical problem, and no water. The temp outside was at least 35C and inside around 45c but luckily we didn’t end up here despite being ill from it.
1) Loni vyšlo spoustu nahrávek, které bych doporučil. Třeba “Yggdrasil” od Wardruny – podle mého je to nejlepší darkfolková deska roku 2013. Pak Desireless & Operation Of The Sun a “L’Oeuf Du Dragon” – skvělý návrat legend osmdesátých let, který na rozdíl od většiny nezní vyčpěle, ale nabuzený novou energií. Ghost a “Infestissumam” – velmi dobrá rocková nahrávka se silným nádechem gotiky a hororu. Skvělé vokály, chytlavé songy, dobrá image a jejich video „Year Zero“ je mým oblíbeným klipem roku 2013. Dál kompilace “The DªRK and CºLD Sounds of The Blog That Celebrates Itself” – zásadní deska skvělých nových kapel, které vdechly nový život staré klasice. Noi Kabat a “Make Room Make Room” – jejich skladba “Industry” je to nejlepší, co roku 2013 vyšlo; skvělá věc na taneční parkety.
Moje nejoblíbenější instrumentální album loňského roku je “Occvlt Machine” od INDΣΔ†HI†ΣNDϟ – temné a velmi zlověstné. Pak dokonalý soundtrack na Halloween “Monsters Of Legend” od Midnight Syndicate, skvělý debut “Evoking Eternity” od The Devil & The Universe a “Byť Tvojím Zrkadlom ” od Lahké Muzy – jejich nejlepší deska vůbec. A “Mélancolie en prose“ od Opera Multi Steel – další nejspíš nejlepší album v jejich historii. Pak “Ceremony” Anny Von Hausswolff – pár velmi temných skladeb o smrti, složených na kostelní varhany – to si zaslouží pozornost! A pak“Numeri E Figure” od Der Noir, “The Calling” od In The Nursery a “Camels” od Cabaret Grey – skvělý kousek osmdesátkově znějícího coldwave.
2) Měl jsem štěstí na pár skvělých živých vystoupení (v moři těch fakt mizerných), třeba She Past Away na WGT, Killing Joke v The Zombie Hut (Corby), The Three Johns v The Brudenell (Leeds), Peter Murphy v The Rescue Rooms (Nottingham), Desireless & Operation Of The Sun na WGT, The Soft Moon v The Brudenall (Leeds), Tamaryn a Chameleon Vox tamtéž, Rasp v The Lantern Theatre (Sheffield).
3) Koncerty The March Violets, Still Patient? a Principe Valient. Řešení v leedském klubu The Fenton poté, co mne poprosili, abych tam zase začal dělat Black Veil.
4) Lidi by měli přestat tolerovat špatný zvuk na koncertech a stěžovat si – a stejně tak by organizátoři měli nabídnout možnost vrácení vstupného a vyhodit zvukaře. Přál bych si, aby She Past Away dostali pozvánku na koncert do Prahy a já mohl hrát afterparty. Strašně rád bych se letos do Prahy podíval – buď jako DJ, nebo jen tak na návštěvu. Chtěl bych navštívit koncerty, které jsem loni neměl tu možnost vidět. Těším se na nové desky Killing Joke, Petera Murphyho, She Past Away a Rasp. Doufám, že budu pokračovat s děláním remixů pro kapely. A samozřejmě objevovat skvělou novou hudbu a dávat lidem možnost ji slyšet stejně, jako tu starou, která je na CDčkách a deskách, protože hrát beze změny pořád jenom ty staré fláky je nudné a svědčí to o lenosti DJe. Rád bych navštívil víc akcí v zámoří a třeba si i na nich zahrál jako DJ. A pokud budete chtít sledovat, co jsem zrovna objevil, najdete mne na https://blackveilgothic.wordpress.com/. – See more at: http://sanctuary.cz/rozhovory/9142-ohlednuti-za-rokem-2013-cast-druha#sthash.jsUQYTEj.dpuf
