Plans to release Mesh / Covenant concert at Gothic Meets Classic Festival in Leipzig
Last Sunday Mesh and Covenant (and Anne Clark) played with a classical orchestra at the Gothic Meets Classic Festival in Leipzig. It’s the 4th time that this festival takes place and it goes something like this: on the first evening people can hear the bands/ musicians in their known electronic style while on the second night the songs were brought with a classical orchestra.
The set lists for Mesh and Covenant included both newer and older songs, for example Mesh’s single “Only Better” and a version of “Taken For Granted”. Covenant offered classical versions of “Brave New World” and “Wasteland”. Both concerts were professionally recorded, and plans exist to go for a physical release of these recordings somewhere in 2016.
Below are 2 videos to give you an idea what you missed, Mesh with “Only Better” and Covenant with “Der Leiermann”.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
