Apoptose

Today is a memorable day in the history of Apoptose. Exactly 20 years ago, we played our first live gig ever – together with the drummers of the Fanfarenzug Leipzig.

A legendary performance with repercussions for us until today. It took place at the ‘Anker’ as part of the Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2006 with additional keyboards by my friend Ingo of Polygon and spiel-sinn.net

What a night! My nerves were completely wrecked when one of the drummers fainted about 5 minutes before we had to get on stage. The fainted drummer had been pregnant and got circulatory problems caused by the heat and humid air in the venue but the paramedics were able to help her immediately. So „only“ 14 instead of the originally planned 15 drummers entered the stage. 🥁🥁🥁

Has anyone anyone of you attended the gig? We played first but due to my emotional state of emergency that night I don‘t remember any other artists of the lineup.

You’ll find a link to a song of our set in the comments.

In 2007 and 2023, the WGT invited us once again to perform with the drummers.

Some wonderful pictures of our gig at Rituals over Limburg last year. Amazing festival!

Anyone Bandcamping this friday? In case you need a decent outfit for the coming festival season - just a little info that we still have most sizes of this incredible t-shirt in stock 😎
