Show Mercy

As you might already now, there are things happening during the next months that will make all local goths happy. Forgetting about the oxymoron of the previous sentence, let's have a look on these forthcoming events. But first, some music to fit the content:







1) Sisters of Mercy concert:



Where: Tilburg, venue is 013
When: February 23rd 2011
How much: 35 Euros
Where can I find tickets: Here




2) Joy Division tribute concert

More specifically, one of the founding members of the band, Peter Hook, will provide a "back to the roots" show for all dedicated fans of this seminal band. The concert will focus on the milestone album Unknown Pleasures.


Where: Eindhoven, venue is Effenaar
When: May 29th 2011
How much: 27.5 Euros
Where can I find tickets: Here

Fact: Joy Division, including Ian Curtis, gave a concert in the same venue 31 years ago that was on January 18th 1980. More info and footage from this concert you may find here. This was just 4 months before Ian Curtis took a bold step to the other world.



3) Ian Curtis Memorial (!?!)


Where: Eindhoven, venue is Effenaar
When: May 18th 2011 (Exactly 31 years from Ian Curtis death)
How much: 7.5 Euros (Only 5.00 Euros if you got a ticket to Peter Hook's concert)
Where can I find tickets: Here

The event is presumably some words from people that where close to Ian Curtis and that where part of the New Wave movement. There will also be the movie of Anton Corbijn on the life of Ian Curtis. More info here (in Dutch).

From our side, we would like to address a question to the readers of this blog (to both of them :P ): Are you aware of any venue in Eindhoven or the neighbouring cities that is dedicated to New wave/Electro/Goth/Industrial music? If yes, please let us know by droping a line at eindhoven.calling@gmail.com
