Kunigunda Lunaria

Kunigunda Lunaria already became one of most awaited events of the year in Lithuanian music scene. So 6-7th of May are spent in Vilnius. As this festival provides lot of attractions (movies, excursions, even theater this year and so on), but the main thing is concerts on the evenings. And how can you not to like it when headliners are so well know bands like Spiritual Front, Last Days of Jesus, Gothika, Desdemona and others.

I missed the industrial/electronic music evening as just couldn't be back to Lithuania on time, so I tried to enjoy other two as much as possible.

So, my five favorite performances from the festival:
1. Vic Anselmo - from the very first chords this Latvian girl took me to the dream world of hers and that world is the place I really adore! She was the biggest surprise of the festival for me and choise number one who I want to see one more time!
2. Comedia D'el Arte - maybe I was looking for surprises on this festival, coz those guys like Vic Anselmo was the main discoveries for me. I have heard couple of songs of them before, but hey! This performance was very good and if these guys will keep on that, Lithuania may have a very interesting band in the nearest future!
3. Now it's getting tough. But maybe I will choose another Lithuanian band Saprophytes. Maybe because of the fact that I liked them quite much for couple of years already. This performance was a new start for them as almost all members of the band have changed. Anyway, it's still really powerful gothic metal and I must admit that they sounded more interesting than earlier.
4. Let's say it's Gothika, band from Japan. Actually I've seen only two or three songs performed by them as I had to leave the show, but they were tottaly incredible! The energy, image, music - it was one superb picture which takes all your attention and do not let you go away so easily...
5. Spiritual Front - I also heard not much of them as was running to meet some friends at another place, but it seemed like ideal ending of the day. Very impressive music, very warm performance and very nice atmosphere..

However, it was really worth to visit Kunigunda Lunaria and am already looking forward for the next years festival.
