Snapshots: Sixth June @ Wave Gotik Treffen (Leipzig, Germany) — 6/2/17

Sixth June @ WGT 2017 Sixth June performs at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, on June 2, 2017.

One of the great things about the annual Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, is the opportunity to chase down your favorite dark pop bands. Take for example Sixth June, the synthpop duo from Berlin, formed in 2007 by Laslo Antal and Lidija Andonov. Parklife DC photographer Paivi visited Wave Gotik Treffen on June 2-5 and caught the dark wavers in concert.

Inspired by legacy synth bands like Propaganda and Depeche Mode, Sixth June began publishing music with their song “Everytime” in 2007, and they continued releasing music regularly. In February, Sixth June released a new album titled Virgo Rising via Aufnahme + Wiedergabe.

In concert, Sixth June have introduced some new songs, including “Nebo,” from the new album. Lidija sounds amazing, and Laslo proves a synthesizer master of the first order. Watch the official music video for “Nebo” by Sixth June on YouTube:
