So veeeery few pics on these two bands! The bands were great, and I loved the gigs, but as I mentioned before, I didn´t really “work” that much in Alba:) Hope Doru (the organizer, great guy!) will forgive me, I´ve at least done LOTS of promotion:D Anyway, I uploaded the ones I had.

Got the chance to see Edmond´s (DORDEDUH) other project SUNSET IN THE 12TH HOUSE first thing on Day 2 at the Dark Bombastic. Excellent way to start a new day at the festival. I really enjoyed the music. It was so beautiful! And the all the guys in the band are such a skilled musicians. It was also their first live performance ever!
darkbombasticevening.com: “Sol Faur and Hupogrammos, known only through the Metal dimension, along with other musicians, wish to present those attending a different stylistic approach, embodied through an elaborate form of Experimental Post-Rock, with psychedelic & esoteric touches. The new musical expression that SUNSET IN THE 12th HOUSE will unveil to the public plans to follow a path independent of what these musicians have done so far.”»THE GALLERY

The finishing bands of the great evening, ALCEST and YEAR OF NO LIGHT. Really awesome, both of them!! Add some great company, some beers and excellent food made by the guys from Gambrinus Pub…I so wish you´d been there!! YEAR OF NO LIGHT played to “Vampyr”, an old silent movie from the -30´s. (The whole gig further down the page). Again, not so many pics. Was busy enjoying the festival:)

Snatched from E.M.: After internal tensions in the band Negură Bunget, Hupogrammos and Sol Faur left the band to form Dordeduh; while drummer Negru continued Negură Bunget with new musicians. “Dordeduh” comes from three Romanian words, annexed together. “Dor de duh” means “Longing for spirit”.
An interesting band!! Amazing music and one of the many highlights at the Dark Bombastic. For many people Negura B. is far from the same nowadays, especially when this guy Hupogrammos left the band. Don´t really have an opinion, because It´s not that long ago I started listening to the band. Had the chance to spend some time with him and his disciples (some young people looking for answers to the big questions of life:)) later in the evening and we talked about all kinds of shit, shared stuff (his beer and my cigarrettes:)).
Really cool, intellectual guy. We were staying at the same hotel with all the bands, thanks to Doru the organizer fixing that, so we did meet a few times. His girlfriend and the rest of the band were also really nice and I do hope we´ll meet again! The accomodation offer in Stockholm stands!;))
The pics are very so-so. Spent more time meeting people and checking out the gigs than taking pictures. I´ll do better next time:)
At Dark Bombastic Evening 3rd Edition I met people talking Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian. Quite weird and surreal after touring Transylvania in more than a week with hearing nothing but Romanian and English….:) Anyway, DRACONIAN are from Sweden and yet this was the first time I saw a live gig with the guys. Really cool! Loved it!

DARK BOMBASTIC EVENING 3rd EDITION was one of the nicest events I´ve ever been to. Loved the whole concept of it! You can read more of DBE@www.darkbombasticevening.com
