Finally, our last stop on this tour; the legendary Boardners with Bar Sinister, located in Hollywood California. A lot of big acts dropped in during their early career, among them Marilyn Manson. A fantastic club; hangaround for regular rock n roll people at daytime but when night sets in, the westcoast goths conquer this place: exotic gothic dancers, punks, goths and transvestites...

"Good evening Hollywood!" Kicked off the show as usual with Dark Salvation, continued with Hatred and by the time the sound of Devil and Nachtzehrer filled Bar Sinister the audience was 100% in on this!

The new song "Darkside" went down great as it has every night, and Monsters and Happiness In Darkness put a solid ending to this last show on the tour.

Met many nice fans at the backstage, but we were too tired to hang around for very long.

Special thanx to Vicky Hamilton, owner Tricia La Belle and everyone at Bar Sinister for inviting us here, it was a very special night! Thanx to the fans as well, hope to see u all again soon.

Finally, a big thanx to everyone who showed up at our shows in Portland, Fayetteville, El Paso, Houston, Allentown, New York, New Haven and Hollywood.

GOTHMINISTER will now return to Norway to record our third album.

See you on the road in the near future, and thanx again!!! This has been a very memorable tour!!!

Darkest regards from GOTHMINISTER;)

The venue was The Ramones old favourite concert hall, I was told by my friend Ramones-photographer George du Bose. This night we had a special guest on stage; the gothic industrial legend of Das Ich; Bruno Kramm; on keys. We put on a very good show. Finally meeting up with Bruno again. Saw a lot of familiar faces from the last weeks. Some new too. Jet from Vampirefreaks filmed the show and might put something out later. Brunos girlfriend put up 3 cameras. We ll have plenty for the "extras" section of the DVD. Devil was one of the highlights, turning into a remix techno part with heavy guitars and we got the crowd. Promoter Jonathan Kephart told us afterwards people were talking about the show and that we might have "stolen" the whole night. That is up to others to judge, all I can say is that we had a fantastic time on stage.

Special thanx to Bruno Kramm and his girlfriend, Blacksun Festival/Jonathan Kephart for having us,  and off course the audience. You rocked bigtime New Haven!

Hope to come back some time.

Building up for this tours last show in Hollywood at the legendary Bar Sinister.

Hope to see many of you tonight!

Yours sincerely GOTHMINISTER;)

What an amazing night! A lot of New York vampires rocked like hell inside Club Shelter on Manhattan tonight. Mastermind of Vampirefreaks.com, Jet, organized tonights Gothminister show, and he did an excellent job. So did the crew; the soundsystem was awesome and we had a blast! The audience tonight was great, dancing and screaming, and in the middle of the masses, a wild mosh pit. Goths, electroheads and metalheads dancing, banging, moshing - what a beautiful combination. Our best show so far on this tour. Great to finally perform in Sinatra`s New York, New York - but this time we added some darkness to it;) The new song from our upcoming album; called "Darkside", was very well recieved as it has been every night and it s a sign that people seem to like what is to come!

A special thanx to Jet & Vampirefreaks.com for a fantastic night and for being a very professional promoter.

Looking forward to see many of the DJs and promoters we met so far on this tour at the Blacksun Festival in New Haven!

Rock on! GOTHMINISTER;)

We arrived pretty late as the incompetent morones at the airport "lost" some of our luggage (Chris kickdrum pedal among other sthe wtuff), but our mood would soon change from angry to very happy as we entered stage at The legendary Sterling Hotel in Allentown. A lot of people showed up, and the audience were rocking like hell the whole set through. Finishing with Happiness and a huge confettibomb, the success was a fact. Nice to hook up with many fans later, memories from last years Dracula`s Ball and promoters mentioning Gothminister as the best headliner at Sterling for a long time we can nothing but say that we are honoured to get such a fantastic feedback!

Special thanx to Dave and our labelmates from Carfax Abbey, who delivered a fantastic show being the last band to open for us and helping us out with so much - love you guys, and looking forward to hook up with you again!!!

Special thanx to Skip of Bizar Entertainment and everyone at The Sterling Hotel for making this the most memorable night on the tour till now.

Finally, huge thanx to all the fans who showed up, hope to see u next year and we promise to come back to Philly as well on the next tour!

Hail Sterling Hotel and Allentown!
