The second Future
Sonic Festival took place this year at club Death Disco. The lineup
consisted of three bands, The CabinFever, Boxes Of Blow and
newcomers Wanderlust. Each band
featured an hour long set. It was remarkable that the turnout was really good,
especially for a Sunday. Considering that the night before the club celebrated
its 5th Birthday with a massive party that ended sometime in the morning!

First up on stage was the new alternative rock band
Wanderlust. This was actually their first live appearance (Although its members
have been active years in the scene since they used to be in bands such as Cloudscape,
Goya’s Dream, Frequency On). They played very well, showing that they are tight
outfit, delivering some very good melodic indie tunes.


Last up on the bill were The Cabin Fever. A new
wave/post-punk band that goes way back. They were active in the 90’s and
reformed last year after some 20 years! The band members have been in many
bands in the past such as The Braindead, The Virgin Web, The Drops, Nexus and
New Zero God. Last year they contributed to the compilation "Stimmen Der
Seele Vol. 2" by DieSeele.net with their atmospheric instrumental track
"Western Skies". Last night they
opened their set with "Scream", a very melodic mid tempo new wave
track. Then they performed some songs from their early days such as "Breathless", "Let Me In" and "Fear Of Truth" before giving us
something new with "In Step With Time". Next they played a really good cover of
The Sound’s "New Dark Age". The three piece delivered a really great
sound, bringing to mind classic new wave from the 80s. Overall, an enjoyable
night, with three bands that show that they have much to deliver and we will
keep an eye out for them.
