We played a show on friday night at the Gallery Lombardy.
It was an interesting show in an art venue, take a look - Nightlife.
Now we just arrived in San Francisco, where we are playing tomorrow. The show is close to sold out...
Tomorrow we will also show you more material from Austin.
Unfortunately we had to cancel the show at "Cafe Caffein". Chris was really ill and couldn't do it. We tried everything and actually went to the venue to go through with the show, but in the end it just couldnt happen. Sorry to all the Fans!

Some musicians are meant to be heard but not seen - merely an auditory experience and nothing more. Berlin's IAMX, on the other hand, isnt merely a band... it's an event - a full-on aural and visual attack with the dynamic and inimitable Chris Corner (of Sneaker Pimps) leading the charge.
With the European marketplace going bonkers for his blend of dramatic synth-rock, darkness-infused pop, and intricately-constructed indie dance, IAMX has been headlining festivals in Austria, Belgium, CZ Rep, Poland, etc. and sharing the stage with Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, and The Cardigans among others. ike an 80s electro glam soundtrack to a Jan Svankmajer film or an almost unfathomable hybrid between the sexy swagger of Prince and the cool and collected respectability of Roxy Music, IAMX mixes Chris erotically-charged vocals with music that is, at once, frantic yet controlled.
With such strikingly cinematic songs as the waltzy drama of "President" to the percussive sexual predatory dirtiness of "The Negative Sex" to the indelibly infectious synthpop of the sweeping "Spit It Out", The Alternative is exactly just that - the alternative to the cookie-cutter music scene that dominates the airwaves. Considering the rabid reception he receives from his performances, it seems it's time for the masses to latch onto The Alternative.

American nightlife looks boring
