Minimal Wave Records

does anyone know, will there be some interesting minimal / wave concerts or parties in france between january 21st and february 8th? or perhaps in belgium? i hope that my french visa will pay off as much as possible… :?:

Hi Nikola, it seems you’re a little bit late for those. At least in belgium there were a few very good events in december!

But if it’s not too far you’re always welcome for a minimal private party at my home

There will be a ROP-party in Belgium February 2nd at a new location with Hervé and me spinning records.

If you play, there are chance i will be there, at least i will try

Namaste.

thanks people!
ahh, i wish i could make it to r.o.p. in belgium. but it seems that i’ll need to catch a plane in paris early the next morning. kris, thank you for invitation, i’d love to visit, but my schedule will be too tight in france [business trip, you know]. anyway, if some party and especially concert pops up around that time, i’ll appreciate every info! for a good concert, i’d cancel my plane tickets.

OK, that would be great! Le lieu a changé, c’est dans un château cette fois-ci, ça m’arrange bien comme chevalier

Well in Paris the “Caves Saint-Sabin” spring to mind, the venue actually is some catacombs so you can’t go a lot more gothic then that. Been there a couple of times, enjoyed it. Music’s typically also more gothic then minimal, though. Unfortunately I couldn’t spot anything for the time mentioned yet.  

There also was an event called “Carnage Dream” every 1st Saturday of the month, but the website   is down at present, so no idea if that one still exists.

La Locomotive   is rather mainstream, but there might still be something on.

A world-wide resource for dark clubs/events is to be found at   , however under the headline “gothic” (even if it’s electro or whatever clubs).

Hope that helped 8)

thanks for all those links!
it seems that i’m doomed to a goth-rock hollyday. christian death in paris and jad wio in angoulemme. not my pair of lace stockings :( even die krupps show up under ‘goth metal’ advertisment.

what is the new location? still in waregem? I hope it’s somewhere easier to reach (and stay the night) from NL…

The new location is a castle in Kortrijk and very easy to reach (just when you leave the motorway). The location stays near the French border because there a lot of French people who come to the ROP-parties.

also easy to reach by train + benenwagen?

Have to ask to HH, I will keep you informed.
