At Saturday 1 May 2004 Terra Gotha VIII had a double headlining bill with
exclusive gigs from The Last Dance (USA) and Dead Souls Rising (F). As usual De
Piek was packed with Goths from all over Holland, Belgium, Germany and France,
let the sweatfest begin. During the day people were still desperate trying to
get their hands on tickets and the phone at De Piek kept ringing all day.
Dead Souls Rising from France had to drive for over 13 (!) hours from France to
Vlissingen but they still had fun at Terra Gotha VIII. The Last Dance were awake
for over 30 (!) hours. It's amazing how both bands still managed to survive the
tremendous heat at De Piek. Both bands really loved the Terra Gotha atmosphere
and were happy to play there. As a special 'Thank You' promoter Wim de Nooyer came
up with the idea to have both bands take the stage to do a cover version of
Iggy Pop's classic song 'Now I Wanna Be Your Dog' which was abso-fucking-lutely
amazing. Here are some pics to relive Terra Gotha VIII.
