It was an amazing show. The bill made sense, with each band offering a different twist on the genre.
Christian Death - great guitar driven set. They played much more energetically than their studio tracks. For being among the first Goth bands (1979?), they sounded way fresh.

Combichrist - from their roots as a club-goth band, here they performed like a metal freight train. Norwegian frontman Andy LaPlegua whipped the audience into an all out frenzy, complete with mosh pit. Their drummer stole the show 1/2 the time with his antics; the guy was a machine.
They were so high-energy that my niece asked "What if Combichrisht is better than LOA???".

Lords Of Acid - They now have 2 lead singers, DJ Mia of course, and now another chick that is more of a falsetto. Together they recreate the harmonies that were probably just samples when performed live in the past. The harmonies on "Crablouse" were to die for.
They have a new album coming out in a few months, but they did not play any new material. It was a 'greatest hits' set, with a couple of deep cuts like "Mr Machoman".
They must have brought their own subwoofers on tour with them, because the bass was deeper than the venue could have possibly provided itself.

LOA - Scrood Bi U
I just don't know what to do
I got my boyfriend but I want you too
Don't wanna hear about fidelity
When I need a feeling deep in me
I wanna be screwed by you
But anyone else will do
I wanna be screwed by you and you...
I feel it now, all through the day
I have to try it in every way
Yes I'll have it long and tough
I don't mind if it's hard and rough
I wanna be screwed by you
But anyone else will do
I wanna be screwed by you and you...
I just don't know what to do
I can't help it, just need to screw
Doing it makes me blow my top
Once I start I can never stop
I wanna be screwed by you
But anyone else will do
I wanna be screwed by you and you...
