She said that “(But) one of the things that I loved, at the time that I was born,…
They have been together for almost 25 years, yet very little about them has changed. The big boys from Kingston, Ont., are very much the same. They have sold many copies of their most recent CD, World Container in Canada but outside the border they have not experienced the same success. There is breakup on the horizon. They are just the same old Tragically Hip, and guitarist Paul Langlois says they couldn’t be happier about…
There are not so many things Kelly Clarkson did this year. That is Aside from the widely reported tete-a-tete with legendary music executive Clive Davis over her new album My December. She fired her manager, Jeff Kwatinetz and the planned North American summer tour was axed.

The word is that Britney Spears and her mom are probably feuding and a friend of the family tells People magazine that the rift has left Lynne Spears “brokenhearted.” This is not something which could surprise us.

This is a relatively unknown festival in [tag]Sibiu[/tag]. Sibiu is an European cultural capital in Romania. [tag]Transylvania[/tag] is close to the city; this influences the architecture which has a medieval genuine style. It is very goth like city and for those of you who have not visited it yet the city would probably be a pleasant surprise.

So this gets us to this year. The bands were Anathema, Within Temptation, My Dying Bride, The Gathering and other local bands. The local bands were not bad. It was nice to notice that people who were foreign liked them. Maybe romanian rock has a chance; this is a step in that way and quality music is welcome. The first day began with Anathema and local bands like Cargo, Celelalte Cuvinte, Altar. The crows was…

The bands finished their soundcheck and at 19.00 the crowd went into the citadel in which the bands played and there was a lot of noise. The hour was 19.30 when Tarot went up the stage. They were not upset to be the opening band and they were relaxed and enjoyed themselves. That is obvious when you…
Everybody was waiting for the headliners. Within Temptation was about to sing. But at first there was a wait; people waited for the set to be ready. Very crowded set and it is hard to describe it so let the pictures talk. Statues and lights and things like that. That is way over the top you could say. That is you could say without having watched them. When they sing and the set plays the…
