Tinitus proudly present:

ALPHAVILLE

One of the most legendary synthpop acts from the 80's, the band behind enormous worldwide hits such as Big in Japan, Forever Young and Sounds Like a Melody are coming to Sweden with their 20th anniversary show! With an extensive discography, they prove that their brand of music and attitude is something that never go out of style.
We can promise you an amazing gig, supported by fantastic visual show, and a seemingly endless parade of new romantic anthems.

FIXMER McCARTHY

Fixmer/McCarthy start off where NITZER EBB's album That Total Age left off with pumping rhythms and aggresive, yet beautiful vocals.
Hailing from Lille in France, dj and music maker Terence Fixmer has teamed up with legendary Nitzer Ebb singer Douglas McCarthy to set the record straight with electronic dance music.
Climbing the dancecharts with the 12" single Destroy/Freefall, a whole new album is scheduled for release on May 28. Don't miss this chance to see these two legends under one name.

VNV NATION

The giants in electronic music VNV Nation will visit Tinitus Festival 2004 as a co-headliner band, on tour with an upcoming album.
VNV Nation has made a name as one of the biggest modern synth bands in the world, ever progressing within futuristic synthpop and darker musical domains. The band visited the Tinitus festival back in 2001, during their world conquering tour of FuturePerfect. Frontman Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson is currently setting a new level of perfection in their studio and a new album release is due at fall 04. We are proud to have them back, live on stage.

LEGOWELT

As young man Danny Wolfers (Haag, Netherlands) got his hands on early Italo and electro releases and started making music. Those old records are still a big inspiration when making music under different project names on the pioneering Bunker Records label.
With music which is partly introvert, partly chartbreaking hits like Total pussy control, remixes for DJ Hell and partaking on different compilations, Legowelt has gained over 50 releases in his discography. According to Legowelt official websitesite, an all-time favourite is Front 242's Kampfbereit.

NEBELWÄRFER

Our second band from Haag/Netherlands present a quite unique blend of music styles seldom spoke of together. Inspired by bands like Der Blutharsch, Death in June and Winterkälte, as well as Stakker and other early acid house, sounds from some World Serpent releases, they mix it all together and serves it as a rather harsch dish of electronic music. Rhythmic yet droning and ambient, the sound sometimes reminds of the earlier days of Megaptera, SPK and Master/Slave relationship.
