It is with great pleasure to finally announce our new release marking WIV's 20th band anniversary! On 8 Dec 2023 our new release "Faro (Camara Lenta feat. Sandra)" will come out and deals with the endless quest for the lighthouse pointing you to where home is. The single is the forerunner of a hexalogy released as EPs of three songs each. The hexalogy is around the four elements of matter and how humanity is incapable of looking after them...
It’s been a while and many things have happened since the last post. 2023 marks Waiting in Vain’s 20th anniversary and things took a rather quick but not unexpected turn inside the band recently. Sadly enough, the matter is of less joyful nature unfortunately: our Dresden-based band members Sandra and Johannes decided to step down. So 2023 and the 20th anniversary of Waiting in Vain marks the beginning of a new era or back to how it all...

WU5, a student-run venue in Dresden, Germany, runs a voting to get Dresden-based bands on a CD sampler in the absense of the possibility to play gigs on their stage. And we have submitted two brand new songs which you can vote for (and listen to!) Link: (English & Deutsch) BTW - you can vote once a day if you want to be extra kind to us😎
It's some kind of rebirth or even reincarnation of Waiting in Vain as WIV. It's probably worth a more wider news release than a blog post on this web page, but as most in our lives this release is a small step towards a new era of what Waiting in Vain or simply WIV is defined as. There is no definite decision whether WIV becomes the actual band name (as an acronym to Waiting in Vain), but we are more than proud to announce that WIV goes fully...
You might have read it on one of our social media platforms: we are working actively on a new release and we are progressing nicely. So far all our releases had been recorded, mixed and mastered by ourselves and indeed, we didn't really always nail the sound quality when comparing our songs with professionally mixed and mastered songs. We know we made a step forward with Evolution compared to but when sharing the album with other producers...
It's showtime again! Together with Twisted Destiny and Wyst we are going to play at Club Eule in Dresden, Germany on 20 September 2019. We are more than excited to be on stage with all four band members, as this will be the first public show with Sandra. And let us tell you that the songs as they appear on our releases have been rejiged to present Sandra's voice much more dominantly in our live performance. More details about the location can be...
For the last 5 years we have been focusing on our latest release Evolution which did not allow us to play any show. Those times are over! Back in 2013 we made the decision to solely focus on releasing the next album given our spacial distance which did not allow us to meet weekly (and sometimes even monthly). So we continued communication via weekly Skype sessions to coordinate gigs and administration stuff and it turned out a very tiring and...
Pretty much three months ago our latest longplayer Evolution hit the stores and our revised marketing machine has gotten us quite a number of reviews from online blogs, magazines and individuals. Surprisingly, all reviews draw somewhat different conclusions on areas such as favourite song, maturity of the recording, sound quality, uniqueness and how much WiV have really evolved. Dance floor killer song: we have already known that diversity is...
