Clan Of Xymox just came back from the festival in Whitby. They stayed at the pittoresk fishersmans village called Robin Hoods Bay. Some personal photos of it , plus the Abbey of Whitby you can see at their myspace site . The Whitby festival was fantastic. With thousands of people gathering there it looks and feels magically. The Saturday was the warmest recorded so far in the year, so all were very lucky they did not get the usual Brittish weather :) Plus thumbs up for the organisation!

Here is already one review of Orkus in German :

So knapp der Titel Visible auch anmutet-das, was dahintersteckt, ist es beileibe nicht. Gleich zwei digitale Scheiben haben Clan Of Xymox mit haufenweise Material vollgestopft. Dabei sieht man Ronny Moorings, Mojca Zugna und Band meist auf der Bühne agieren,besteht ein Großteil der Videos doch aus Live -Aufnahmen. Die fallen recht unterschiedlich aus, schließlich wirkt ein Gig im dunklen Club mit einzelnen Lichteffekten ganz anders als eine Show auf der riesigen Open Air-Bühne des M'era Luna oder Zillo-Festivals. Beides sicher reizvoll, wobei eine ziemlich gute Auswahl getroffen wurde. Gleiches lässt sich zur Wahl der Songs sagen. Von absoluten Klassikern a la This World und Louise bis zu frischen Stücken wie We Never Learn oder Heroes ist einiges vertreten.
Zum letzteren Bowie-Cover gibt es denn auch einen Clip in Schwarzweiß, der zwar nicht mit spektakulärer Technik aufwartet, aber dafür mit viel Persönlichkeit und Ideen. Generell strahlen die beide DVDs eine gewisse Indieattitüde aus, wurde doch die Mehrzahl der Aufnahmen ohne professionelle Kamerateams gestaltet und am Ende von Fronter Moorings selbst bearbeitet und zusammengestellt. Das macht die Sache für Fans besonders interessant,Visible überzeugt einfach mit einer Menge Authentizität. Abgerundet werden Clips und Live-Videos noch durch etliche Backstageimpressionen und gar ein kurzes Interview. Letzteres hätte ein wenig umfangreicher oder irgendwie spannender ausfallen dürfen. Aber man sollte es wohl eher als kleinen Bonus sehen, immerhin bietet das Material schon wirklich viel Clan Of Xymox.

Back from Lodz

It was a very hectic period and Lodz was the last show for this month. Clan Of Xymox has seen their share of airports, terminals, and rental cars. The band left for Poland with Ronny having the flue although at the night of the concert he miraculously recovered and could do the whole set plus the many encores without any problem. Matter of fact the band steamed up for a big party time mood resulting in an extatic show with lots and lots of interaction between the audience and the band. The audience in Lodz is one of the loudest audiences in Poland !

We all our glad that this night was unforgettable for all.

Back from Spain

Clan Of Xymox returned today back from a successful 3 dates tour ( Valencia, --see bootleg video A DAY taken in Barcelona & Madrid)in Spain. All went smoothy, a perfect organisation, nice weather, great audiences, in short all were happy:). The schedule was demanding but it was all worth it!

Next stop Lodz, Poland :)

Back from Mandragora Fest, Mexico

Clan Of Xymox returned from the Mandragora Fest which was plagued with chaos and confusion from day one. Although the organization did try to do their best to make all things happening , the control over the whole event was far from ideal.
We have to make some kind of statement as the message boards are full with accounts of the event:
Clan Of Xymox was booked as the headliner of the festival but since the band was told the scheduled Headline slot would be at 4.00 am Clan Of Xymox chose for a time around 23.00 in the evening. Unfortunately the organization did not communicate too well ( or not at all) with all the acts / or their managers present and confusion reigned in the camps.
Clan Of Xymox started roughly on time ( with the help of only one present stage manager).
When Clan Of Xymox was well into the set the manager of Atrocity displayed an atrocious ,despicable , unprofessional and self important behavior by pulling plugs and switching off the monitor system, causing Clan Of Xymox to have to leave the stage since there was no security on the side of the stage to keep these kind of people away.
Ronny & Mojca displayed their dismay on stage about this sabotage and their fans picked up on it immediately by showing their support by shouting as loud as possible Xymox, Xymox, Xymox !!!
(Clan Of Xymox wishes to thank all the fans in Mexico for showing such a heart warming support throughout the event and will remember that for ever) .

In the end it all backfired on the Atrocity and Leaves Eye who could not play because of an angry mob throwing anything at them they could grab , making clear they wanted to see the rest of the set of Clan Of Xymox and not them.
If these bands ( or rogue manager) would not have interfered with the scheme of things the Mexican audience would have a great festival and would have had respect. It is a real shame.

A better organizational structure for the event would have been highly recommendable for a festival with so many bands. There were no guidelines, rosters , schedules , stage managers ,security, etc., so any one could do whatever and interpret all what they wanted , like this said manager.
Thanks to our audience who mainly came to see Clan Of Xymox displayed their loyalty towards Clan Of Xymox and let their support loudly heard 2 hours before they arrived , during the show and after Clan Of Xymox left the stage till 4.00 in the morning the shouting for Clan Of Xymox was heard loud and clear. Xymox , Xymox!
Despite the great stage and setting there was a lack of any qualified personnel to let this festival go smoothly and it is this that doomed the festival. If it was a tight scheduling with security to keep egotistical so called tour managers away all would have gone smoothly and the audience would have had their full festival's worth.
We have received an apology from the organisation for letting these things happen or grow out of control , so that is that. . We sincerely hope they will learn from this event for ( if any) newly planned festival.
Clan Of Xymox will look into another concert date in Mexico to give their loyal fans what they came for in the first place on this festival , a great show and a full set with encores...
Clan Of Xymox wish to thank all of the Mexican audience who already gave their warm messages and support to the band on My-space and the message boards.
Thank you so much again for standing by us!

Clan Of Xymox just returned from their concert in Moscow. It was agreat experience for the band who never played in Russia before. The band played in the club Tochka,played 4 encores, got flowers thrown on stage ( and even a bra) , signed autographs, talked to many fans, visited the night before their concert the club Strangle and went sightseeing
(together with Assemblage 23 )on the very cold wintery Red Square.

You can see HERE a video taken from their performance.

--

So finally - FINALLY - we have some news on the DVD!
We are happy to let you know that the DVD will be released as a double DVD (DVD2 will be limited though), and will cover 28 video clips (from classics such as A Day, Louise and Out Of The Rain up to new songs like Weak In My Knees and Heroes) plus an exclusive interview with Ronny Moorings, many live clips and some - very funny - backstage scenes.
We had to wait for quite some time for the age approval , which is set now on 12 and over. This meant unfortunatly extra delay
Just - if you planned on a X-Mas present for your dearest one - sorry, we postponed the release to mid/late January 2008. We'd rather wanted to give our best instead of rushing to be in time for the x-mas sales. For environmental reasons we also decided to release this Double DVD in a double-CD case. Why waste all the extra plastic?

Clan Of Xymox unfortunately needs more time for the production of the DVD as anticipated. Instead of releasing a full concert the DVD will contain various materials of concerts, clips, out takes, an interview etc. The band will take a break from live shows for a while to dedicate their time fully on the production of the DVD and a new single.

September 2006

Clan Of Xymox will come out with a live DVD of their Paris show recorded early this year in La Locomotive. The DVD will be at least 1 hour and 30 minutes long. The final edits are made as we speak by the French director Bernard Filipetti from Escape video. The DVD is definitely for the ones who were never able to make it to a Clan Of Xymox show in a regular club or of course everyone else who wants to have a first Clan Of Xymox DVD.
The release date has to be set yet but we do everything possible to make it still in this year!

we keep you updated here!

June 2006

Clan Of Xymox played for a full 8000 capacity venue AGRA hallen in their hometown Leipzig during the WGT on Sunday 04. The whole event was filmed by a professional camera crew and material will be certainly used for a future DVD. The atmosphere was more than ecstatic and the audience deafening loud and enthusiastic.

The WGT started off with the WGT opening ball in the Volkspalast in Leipzig. Pink Turns Blue was the backing band for the especially invited guest singers. Ronny Moorings performed 3 songs: Heroes of David Bowie and two Clan Of Xymox classics. This whole event was very unique because of the calibre of all the guest singers and of course the musical quality Pink Turns Blue delivered as a backing band. This was a night never to forget and will certainly go in the books of WGT as such!
The band and crew stayed for the whole event and had needless to say a great time. Over 20.000 people attended the event. Clan Of Xymox was featured by The Leipziger Volkzeitung and will have a follow up article later in the month.

May 2006

May was the month for lots of concerts for Clan Of Xymox .The most exotic and far away was Sao Paulo in Brazil.

The band arrived four days before the concert and had plenty of time to relax and see the sights of Sao Paulo. Ronny & Mojca were in Sao Paulo before , in 1999 to be exact, so they knew most places to go to with the rest of the band. The concert was held slightly outside of Sao Paulo (San Bernardo) where most people go to relax from the city. The venue is situated on a lake in the middle of trees and hills. On the night of the festival the main hall was reserved for Clan Of Xymox only and when the band started in the early hours , 4000 people made the venue shake on its foundations. The security was nearly a few times squashed by the security fences and made Ronny a few times appeal to the audience to calm down a bit....otherwise maybe people could have been killed. Luckily all went well , the Brazilians made again their reputation true by being passionate people! Clan Of Xymox played all their encores, the audience made them feel like it was a first time Beatles concert or the like..sometimes the monitors were overpowered by the deafening noise made by the fans.

During their Brazilian stay Clan Of Xymox visited many clubs , had autograph sessions , in short had a great time but unfortunately had to cancel the last scheduled cocktail party which supposed to have been held. This was because of the battles going on on the streets between criminals and the police. ( this was already visible a few days before when police had roadblocks all over town) Practically the whole of Sao Paulo came to a standstill, everyone fearing the lawlessness in the streets. That day the band heard machine gun fire , screeching police tyres, sirens , fire brigade , basically anything to make you feel Gotham city is actually Sao Paulo. The cocktail party was that night spontaneously held in the hotel lobby , no cocktails but just cans of beer..The next day things calmed down a bit in Sao Paulo and the band returned to Europe.

Sao Paulo is a very interesting city with over 18 million people living there. It is also one of the most dangerous cities on the planet. The last time Clan Of Xymox was there in 1999 a German Friend of Ronny & Mojca named Bernd was killed a few weeks later when the band was back home again.
A similar thing happened again : during WGT we had the message that the organizer Mauricio Mangia of Thorns Gothic Rave was brutally killed by car jackers. Clan Of Xymox is utterly shocked by this news and wish all his friends (esp. Humberto )lots of strength with this terrible senseless loss. Clan Of Xymox is honoured to have played the last Gothic Rave in Brazil and hopefully someone will take over the legacy of Mauricio so that he won't be forgotten. (r.i.p)

October 2003

Farewell reached Number 2 on the World DJ charts

Farewell reached Number 1 at the German DAC charts !!!

The South American tour was an absolute success for Clan Of Xymox.

A short report :
At the airport in Lima hundreds of people were welcoming the band like they never experienced before,
chanting Xymox, Xymox!!, a flood of camera flashes going off, kissing the van,trying to get a handshake or glimpse of the band freshly arriving. A portion of the fans jumped in cabs or cars and followed the flabbergasted band to the hotel and waited outside for hours just to get a glimpse or autograph of the Clan.
The next day the band did interviews for radio and TV and an autograph session which lasted 3 hours non stop signing.
The first concert in the club Nebula in Lima was a private ( "secret") concert for a limited amount of people who enjoyed a complete set and two encores, leaving crowds outside just to wait for the band to leave for the hotel, creating the same kind of scenes experienced at the airport.

Finally at the 4th of October the Clan gave their first official concert at the Ambassador theater were 1600 enthousiastic Peruvians would not let the band go off stage after already playing one and a half hours so they played another half hour of encores under the deafening cheers of the crowd. For the band and the fans it was certainly a historic night. It will never be forgotten.

COX went the day after the show to Machu Picchu near Cuzco were they had a private tour into the Sacret Valley and walked through the ancient town on top of the Andes mountains Machu Picchu. ( We might see that in a future video clip)

In Chile, Santiago Clan Of Xymox returned for the second time, filling the venue Blondie with over two thousand fans. The same enthousiasm as the Peruvian fans was shown here, also they would not let the Clan go off stage that easily and again the band played for two hours, despite the fact that there were some small little hiccups with the P.A. cables of Blondie it did not deter the band from playing on.

The next night Ronny DJ- ed at Blondie with two body guards posted next to him. Ronny spinned records for 3 hours non stop, whilst the crowd heard the latest tunes and equally danced non stop!
The band had interviews on radio stations with Rolando Ramos, the most famous radio DJ of Chile, in store appearances and parties.

The organizer took the band to the famous vine yard Concha Y Toro where they make the famous Castillero Del Diablo wine ( Ronny & Mojca's favourite wine). Also they visited the oldest observatory in Latin America on top of the mountain in Santiago.

The band was well relaxed when they went to their last destination in Latin America: Buenos Aires
The Clan had a few days to relax so most members went into town being tourists, buying clothes and CD's (at Stigmata) which are 3 times less the price than in Europe.

On the 16th Ronny & Mojca did a long ( 2 hour) interview for the radio in between various tracks of COX, and finally on Friday the 17th the Clan played at Teatro Arlequines.

550 fans were gathered and the place was full. Due to the financial troubles in Argentina a lot of people unfortunately do not have the resources to attend a live show( or any show for that matter)but the place was packed and very hot and steamy, according to Ronny one of the hottest places he ever played. Right from the start of the first song the whole floor was shaking and the front of the stage bounced happily as well. The band was afraid the whole floor would collapse! When the third song "Jasmine &Rose" was played the whole crowd chanted the melody lines and continued to do so with nearly every song. The atmosphere was boiling, sweaty and everyone was going out of their heads, simply unforgettable.
Two encores were played and the Clan decided they could not play more because it was simply too hot to continue. Also the support acts who supposed to play were re scheduled to play after the concert of Clan Of Xymox, which gave the band a good opportunity to check out Argentina's hopefuls. Ronny knew already one of the bands " Lamia" who he played in his DJ set before so he had a great time meeting them and seeing their show.
The next day Ronny DJ-ed at the Fiesta Gotica de Los Eternos for 2 hours, giving autographs whilst spinning records:)
All in all the whole tour was a great experience for the band and the appreciation level of all the fans over there was astonishing.

Clan Of Xymox certainly hopes to go back in a couple of years.

Ronny 's comments about the new album "Farewell"

Pretty much exactly two years passed since the release of CLAN OF XYMOX  latest album "Notes From The Underground". Years in which the band had been busy with touring and using the rare spare time to work on the new album. Ronny Moorings: " In my opinion 2 years is just enough time to come up with enough material and inspiration, but to me I need to play live and go places, otherwise I would not feel the drive to start writing new music again."
"Farewell" is a very suitable title in these days: " To me, says Ronny, "I said in my entire life farewell to a lot of people and of course that might relate to a situation like that , but also I have like anybody else sometimes the feeling to change my life, do different things and just leave. This feeling got triggered when I had discussions with friends about the future of music, about the future of having a band and releases. We got to the conclusion that the music business future for bands who do not make popular music looks bleaker than ever, you hear about so many bands having a very hard time, especially with people rather copying records than buying one ( which makes the label and the artist not very happy indeed)  This inspired me to write about basically leaving everything behind and to go away."
Musically spoken the album follows the Clan Of Xymox tradition from the very early days in 1984/85. "From day one", Ronny quotes,  "when Clan Of Xymox was formed I combined guitars with synths, this was the sort of blueprint to write music." The styles of Clan Of Xymox kept changing during the years with a lot of experiments but always a definable sound anyone could easily recognize as Clan Of Xymox. But to categorize the sound of the band is almost impossible and only a hybrid like Dark Goth Electro seems reasonable. Many songs have a  danceable  beat, very club friendly tracks but also very moody atmospheric tracks.
The "Clan" returned with "Hidden Faces" in 1997 a long way has been taken. Ronny thinks: "there is a consistent development of the sound of Clan Of Xymox, going along with the times, trying to take the best elements and combining new sounds  and techniques with the typical Clan Of Xymox sound. We built up a loyal fan base over the years and are one of those fortunate bands who can rely on them throughout the world. Of course Clan Of Xymox will always be there for them and I do my ultimate best to deliver every time my best album ever. This is my aim and I indeed hope that everyone will like the new album as much as I do."
Many of the Clan Of Xymox are sometimes worried for Ronny Moorings's emotional life. The lyrics represent the sad and bitter side of love and relationships, that almost anyone lived and not anyone survived. " First of all" says Ronny, "you should not take my lyrics so literal as they appear in print. Past experiences are always a big resource , but also others peoples problems are an inspiration to me. Often I get to hear all these heartbroken stories , relation problems or I spot funny behaviors of people , these are all the ingredients you can use to make a song that much more personal, because it relates to something or someone you have in mind. I rarely tell the person though that it's about him or her but I am sure they would recognize themselves anyway :)"
Farewell was recorded in Spring 2003 at "The Torture Garden" and will be released in Europe and the USA on September the 9th of 2003.

Clan Of Xymox just came back from Mexico. The reports are that they had an absolute
great time.

Guadalajara saw the first of them at a pre party in Les Fleurs Du Mort , giving a press conference and autographs to legions of people, the band reported to haved loved the audience and venue ( Hard Rock Live). Thanks to Pur Zynth who did a great job promoting the band in several newspapers.

In Mexico City the band played not as previously advertized but in La Victoria, the show started due to a failing monitor system (which never worked despite all the efforts of the technical crew) 3 hours latebut Clan Of Xymox pulled of the show wonderfully, convincing the crowd even more that the band cares about their fans !

(the band wishes to thank the fans who endured waiting outside in the cue for such a long time and being so enthousiastic during the show)

Further the Clan did a TV appearance on Canal 7, a MTV type of music channel and of course lots of interviews.

The band regrets that they did not have time after the concert (there was no afterparty) to meet and greet their loyal fans

Mazatlan:

Due to the fact the Box was not completely finished the show was moved to a historic cultural protected seaside Marine base, surrounded by walls with old canons on top! The open air show was unique in it's kind for the simple reason that never ever a Gothic or Electro act had ever performed in Mazatlan.

The dedication of the Box and it's staff was reported incredible, not forgetting the crowd of course!

Hopefully next year the Clan will perform really in the BOX !

Further the band made some guest apperances on the radio, playing their favourite tunes for the Mazatlan people.
