Matt Corby, one of our favorite songwriters, announced ahead of European tour in November / December this year. The Australian will go through the UK, France, Belgium and Spain ...! Surprisingly the creator of "Into The Flame EP" will perform on December 7 in the room Moby Dick Madrid. Tickets for this highly anticipated bolus will go on sale soon through Ticketmaster network and LiveNation.
Personally I think that the evening Madrid will be the best that we can enjoy the last stretch of the year. Listen 'Untitled', 'Brother' or 'Made Of Stone', with that attitude so close to what was heard in "Grace" by Jeff Buckley, can be an unforgettable experience.Not crazy we will miss this concert!
Remember that once we make a review / recommendation of "Into The Flame EP".
Bloc Party announce their reunion. Months later "Four" appears on the market. Fans go crazy and blogs / websites / European music magazines render all kinds of bows to the last (and final?) Disk Londoners. By now the LP has already been heard by all siblings, uncles, cousins, grandmothers!. But we, for reasons of fate, we had not yet fully embraced. Luckily last night we could redeem our sin, taking advantage of a free moment to sit down at the computer and, cigar in hand, get to enjoy the work of BP as best they deserve.
Only I could give it a listen yet so "Four" has left me a very good impression. Bloc Party seem to have managed to leave the brace that kept stylistically somewhat oppressed (and practically no crystalline those guitar riffs that characterized both) for themselves to opt for a more sound form chameleonic and versatile. Among the various new records band Kele Okereke has adopted for this occasion is that it approaches the grunger rock, with a dense and strong instrumental sound. Coincidentally the two disk star themes - 'Coliseum' and mainly 'kettling' - are those who identify fully with this avalanche sound that became popular in his day bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.
Here you have both versions of study as are enjoyed live (Pukkelpop and KCRW) two separate issues. So far I have seen live four times Bloc Party but I'm biting nails to see them again. This new (and partial) transformation of his personality is a blast.
Exceptional opulently arranged hymns, electrifying atmosphere oscillating between the poles of melancholy and hope. You
have Konstantin Gropper and his music project "Get Well Soon" laurels
from the international music press, brought an invitation to the
legendary Glastonbury Festival, chart success and tours of Europe. On 24 Published August with "The scarlet beast o 'seven heads" (City Slang), the third album of "Get Well Soon". Before the concert in Munich on 17 September
at the Theatre Factory GWS mastermind Konstantin Gropper talks about
expectations after the hype, the new album and his upcoming 30th Birthday.
Invitation
to the Glastonbury festival, celebrated by the international music
press as "German Wunderkind", chart hits, tours of Europe: Was it
difficult after the hype, with the first album, "Rest now weary head. Get well soon! "Started from the expectation not to have to lose his cool, and how is it managed?I'd be lying if I said I could work without any expectation. To begin such an album costs as always overcoming something. But to meet expectations I do not see as an artistic task. Even if I wanted that, I could not do it. Because I can break even the head, how do I know what my audience expects from me? I'm here on my own. I do what I feel like and if it is still a few others interested in it beautifully. But it is also not always a lot of interest and maybe I will disappoint. But it has to be as good as he can make you free.
What was the most blatant hype moment?For me it was always a new experience, to get so much attention. I think I really realized that only when our first tour and we went off right at the first concert played to a full house. That was a strange moment. But of course, great.
Everything
back to the beginning: What did approach and advance to the third
Get-Well-Soon-album, there were differences in this regard to the two
previous albums?Actually, the third album is almost equal emerged as the second. Only that my sound idea this time did not provide quite as big orchestration. Approx. 80 percent of albums continue to be produced as a home recording and single-handedly. Very late, I present the material to my musicians who then replace what I programmed with real instruments.
After
a sort of fair scene with figures such as the director Werner Herzog
and philosophers like Sencea including stoicism, which serve as the
previous album "Vexations" as a referential base: What is this time of
the "theme park", there is a central statements that behind "The scarlet
beast o `seven heads" stuck?I believe that this album is my most personal. Is behind me noticed that I sing a lot more often in the first person as before. Musically, the album is definitely become my movie. There is lots of concrete soundtrack references and more than ever I have tried to create music with the images and scenes. The course can be different for every listener, because I want to pretend nothing. A few specific people come forward again, where I have served those biographies always been a metaphor. This approach I find simply very exciting.
Already predict whether, where and how your 30th Birthday is celebrated in late September?I celebrate my birthday in principle. Since I'm also in the round is no exception. I've got no money for my age. To me that's just not really matter.
Before the birthday kind Positioning: What does music mean to you, who made you particularly influenced?I'm doing what I love to do, and perhaps does best. For that I am grateful. Especially that there are always people out there that to me and do what I believe. Music for me has always issue number 1 Since I can remember. The formative role is there so my parents. Music has become my means of expression. No I can not.
How would probably run your own musical development without family and pop music academy? Other words, how important was this for Get Well Soon?GWS was certainly important that there were so many different musical influences for me. From a purely classical embossed childhood to Pop Academy. But I also believe that I have discovered so sooner or later as music for me. That's almost a philosophical question. Or a matter of destiny. Because I dare not ran. Anyway, I'm glad that it's so over.
Were there times headwind, doubts about the career as a professional musician, and how could these be overcome?So on a career as a professional musician, I still do not think so long. I have never since everything on this card. Maybe because I'm Schwabe. I was just lucky that it worked so quickly. I would not have the confidence they need for a lifetime of chasing a dream. As I said, I was just lucky.
Which highlights, lowlights have been particularly memorable?I am in my still quite short career actually pretty spoiled. Low points I can think of not many. The course will not go on forever. A highlight, however, is every time someone confidence in my artistic work has for. Be it record companies, directors and other artists.
Of Swabia, Erolzheim, it went on the Pop Academy in Mannheim to Berlin and now back to Mannheim. Were there, and if so, why these were respectively the right stations at the right time?As I said, I can not complain so far, so I'm assuming that it was the right stations. I think it is a great happiness "by the state" to come. I can not say exactly why, but there it is. In Mannheim, I could make music undisturbed - could not have done, there would be no GWS. And Berlin is probably important to distinguish themselves at the start of a career - as stupid as that sounds. But I have been there can make enormously important contacts.
What is the significance for Get Well Soon, the band has to Konstantin Gropper, consisting of family and friends?I think if it were not family and friends, even the trips would be impossible for me. This may sound corny, but to put themselves on a stage before an audience, I need that emotional support. Apart from the fact that you have to endure it for weeks in a confined space with one another.
Future
Projects: Are there any plans for further collaboration with other
musicians / bands or as recently amplified music for film commissions,
what you like about the latter, with whom / for whom would you like to
work?Currently I am working on my first project for the theater Schauspielhaus Frankfurt. It is a sort of musical comedy version of Bulgakov's "Master and Margaritha". In December's premiere. In between, we're still on tour extensively. My year is so full. And for next year are a few exciting collaborations planned. Still nothing saying Mature. I will certainly continue to make music. It's been a great job and has always been a dream of mine. I hope I get there continue to be offered exciting projects. The list of my desire directors is very long, but I do not want to sound presumptuous.Therefore, I will not mention any names and wait until Polanski calls.
Get Well Soon on 17 September at the Theatre Factory, tickets cost about 24 euros.
Goetz Alsmann a new program, "Paris" in the Prince Regent Theatre
Paris, the city lights on the Seine. Goetz Alsmann, the king of German jazz pop scene. How does this fit the two together? Well ... the perfectly perfect together! And
you can convince them live on 03.10.2012, when Goetz Alsmann with his
new program "Paris" in the Prince Regent Theatre in Munich as a guest. All
the associations that evoke the great French chanson with us, all the
capricious, bittersweet, melancholy, yet often carefree, almost
childlike and joyful shouts, all this not out in each of us a sequence
of images from old movies, postcards, show scenes that even or especially us have long since become commonplace for German?
Of course these are stereotypes, but despite all, Paris is just like that! The white, Goetz Alsmann. In his new program "Paris", he and his band will present a selection of major French chansons of the 30s to 60s - in German. The
embodiments of the French jazz songs from the golden age of song along
with the exotic and swinging sound of the ensemble Alsmann - c'est une
truly irresistible blend!
And
"Paris" offers even more: Götz Alsmann and his musicians complement the
dance to their favorite songs to findings from the German Lieder fund,
which give our eternal longing for the city on the Seine, according to
her charm, her wit and her sentiment expressed.
The
forthcoming album in October, "Goetz Alsmann in Paris" is not without
reason, but it was ibid at historic sites, recorded in one of the oldest
and most traditional studios in the city.
On stage at the Prince Regent Theatre will focus on:-Goetz Alsmann (vocals, piano and more)-Altfrid M. Sicking (vibraphone, xylophone, trumpet)-Michael Ottomar Mueller (bass)Rudi Marhold (drums)Passlick-Mark (percussion)
Also visit the new idol Alsmann program "Paris" on 03/10/2012 at Prince Regent Theatre in Munich.

Hot Chip are back with their fifth album "In Our Heads", released in June. Now the video for "Look At Where We Are" has been released. The song is a ballad in a typical dreamy style Hot Chip at the guitar chords and synth beats Peel exactly in the right place in the sound mix. About all that is dominated by the soft and sad voice of singer Alexis Taylor. Hot Chip has played with it once again to the top of the list of my favorite artists and still manages to create this feeling goose bumps. I'm looking forward to the sixth album.
By dragging the California duo OM mantra grooves on his new album songs by various advaitic fog of spirituality. Doom metal, drone-intensity, Stoner Kratzigkeit, Hindu philosophy, Sufi mysticism, psychedelic-Jodorowsky and the search for knowledge contrasting influence, and tie themselves into a real masterpiece here!
It sounds as if Emil Amos arrived at OM. After the departure of Chris Hakius following, somewhat ailing 2009 album God Is Good, expresses the new drummer of the current work of the duo on his unmistakable stamp. OM now sound like a cross between SLEEP and GRAILS, the other two bands of Amos and Cisneros - and that's damn good!
"Did
you see the stylish kids in the riot shovelled up like muck Set the
night on fire ..." - I would be tempted to write now, those were the
days. The fact that the Atomic will abort its tents and the cord includes club to open under new flag are not scandalous events. Instead, there are two perfect examples of cases of our time. We
never were seen closer to the absolute individualism as now, but it was
never too heavy, yet clear and differentiated range limits. Change
so that "the" two traditional Munich-based independent music clubs for
their program, or equally likely to change the front door, so no
surprise. Especially not those who have kept open in the last few months the ears and eyes in Munich nightlife. Also
true that Britpop and little sister are now firmly in the centermost
Independent Mainstream how Cordbetreiber A. Vulic on sueddeutsche.de
reveals, to anyone who reasonably clear understanding of the world is
hardly a novelty.
What
the hardcore horror at Indieanern was great when the guys from Mando
Diao or the Killers for the first time could be heard on Bayern 3! But how many die-hard indie fans if they do not accidentally dated from the first hour, had dealt with the beginnings? With
traditional lines, the Swedish bands such as Mando Diao, The Hives, The
Ark or even English Rotzbuben like the Libertines, The Stone Roses as
dreamy combo or band fan wars like Oasis vs. Blur had produced? Everyone
knew, of course, from Munich Indiefan by 2005 over a maximum of five
corners of the Upper Bavarian guitarist of Franz Ferdinand, or at least
his sister, his cousin, the cat or the neighbor's dog.
For
too many now in their mid to mid / end of twenty years of indie trailer
Pulp described only a few years later rather have the name of an
alcopop, Oasis has already become synonymous with pop music, at least
allowed if the conversations of the night to believe that the author of
this Epithaphs in the last three or four years at the relevant places led.
Always
on the hunt for something new, always trying at all costs musical,
fashionable and above all in respects coolness and style, the first
elite to be, it was probably only a matter of time before these concepts
run dead had, perhaps especially, when in
the ever-expanding mass of support to the early days was missing, again
press the Enter key, generated from prose eventually not have any
lyrics.
How
did what we had just ruined so, what is the death of indie, if you want
it most pathetic call it that, because actually justified? What
made disaffected revolutionaries and rebels socially acceptable,
toothless tiger without any serious reference to the cited Riots? On
the one hand, almost pointless to pursue these questions yet, but on
the other hand ... there was this one moment, have been seen as a sudden
and rapidly increasing carrier cones in the Munich club. There
is a steep, insidious thesis perhaps be ventured: The Rise of Pete
Doherty Babyshambles with his solo project was the fall of Britpop and
independent music. One theory, mind you, not blame. "Debt" have if only the media that the combination of crack junkie supermodel have exploited to the last ounce of fuel. "Debt"
have if only we who have seen our endless voyeurism were satisfied and
grateful for the new style mitinbegriffenen suggestions. That is so avant-garde from the mainstream and niche ...
All
this was not always so - the memory is allowed: one had in the early
2000s at the height of the Munich-based indie years before the door of
the Atomic often more respect than before the famous "No" of P1,
provided the cord together after opening with
a long-closed location concept called Prague Spring in a more
traditional place as a welcome relief - but also relaxation, as the door
policy was handled here a lot more moderate. The
audience thanked: forgotten the evening of the first few weeks, when
the DJ was hunting around six clock in the morning Time is running out
from the speakers while on the other side of the window at City Hall has
slowly began the day - a useful pedant to a certain parking deck in Munich's old town. And
for Atomic like corduroy as the Prague Spring was: never forget the Sit
Downs eponymous indie anthem, when (almost) everyone on the dance floor
gathered Boys & Girls settled and held schlaksigem expressive dance
in hippieske rocking movements alternated arms sometimes stretched
straight up (the beer in one,
the fag in the other) or just because all kind of the other's
shoulders, offered wild Knut choir Gien broke loose and before having
been back standing-waver again to the harsh riffs of C `mon C` mon
entered the shins, while threw back with a smile the side parting.
The party of the millennium generation, which gives the music its independent heyday, has become more mature. We are grown up and we think not only guests but also club owners, musicians, DJ's and Groupies latter. Some
have families, others are about, and still others are gone, their
tastes have changed and sold off the old clothes market in the last
coat. New
phenomena have conquered the clubs, who today still wears leather
jacket, hat, and Chuck is most ridiculed as nostalgic or according to
the liberal slogan of our time nod without resistance, breaking taboos
or open up space for now anyway other and there are fortunately not just
in Munich little.
Sure,
every hipster who holds only a little something in it can, even today,
the life story of Pete Doherty still rattle in his sleep, which
ultimately belongs to the perfectly good form differentiated program. But what about "Live Forever" from the lyrics of? Rather than focus to specialize, is today one thing: swimming in the crowd, lie no longer fixed, wider = better. Neither
your music, even with your clothing style, yet ... (A rogue who wants
to continue to think this line of argument, but it is of course no one
will be banned!) This is all not even really more halfway Quite as
ordered to a kebab and answered the question "sharp" with "a bit" instead of a clear "yes" or "No". Insofar
as the decisions make clear "No Operator" for the outdated concept of
respect as well as adherence to traditions, at this point in the
direction of a friendly Winker Luna current.
If
only the irrelevant question of whether it would not perhaps gone a
different way: now tell me what can you want now you've got it all The
whole scene is obscene Time will strip it away ... and that's good. Nothing is as constant as change, and as the saying goes? One door closes, another one opens. If
only good memories and the hope that the Munich nightlife enriched with
two new clubs, or at least concepts is that the uniformity is shut,
just as it was written on the old banners of their first trips.
Rob
December ZombieMarilyn MansonIm come with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson
are the most eminent of shock rocker present together on tour in
Germany. On
09/12/2012 they are in the Zenith in Munich on stage - at one of only
two gigs in Germany (the other is a week there before in Bochum). Both
artists have new albums in their luggage: Marilyn Manson is his eighth
studio album, "Born Villain" live before, during Rob Zombie has released
the album "Mondo Head Sex" early August, a remix album of his greatest
hits. Both
are already close friends and their fans an unforgettable evening at
the zenith between brute rock, great pose, nasty goose bumps moments and
an overwhelming show offer beyond convention.
Rob
Zombie and Marilyn Manson are exciting artists beyond the ordinary,
always active in more than one art form in its overall design and unique
pieces of real rock scene. Music,
painting, film, literature, journalism: almost every form of expression
used by these two exceptional talents to create a complex, total
artistic image.
Marilyn
Manson performs with his band since the late 80's an eclectic mix of
hard rock, industrial and gothic and consolidated these ingredients into
an Opus full theatricality and brutality, romance and political
awareness, personal suffering and great rock art. The
discovered Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor-head singer with albums such as
"Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals" and "The Golden Age Of
Grotesque" already created a number of young classics that are among the
most important works of the dark rock.
Rob
Zombie is, however, the inspiration for his art than their own internal
quarrels than from the world of comic books and horror movies. Now,
even a well-known director of slasher and zombie films, which turned
off the legendary movie "House Of 1000 Corpses" and a remake of
"Halloween" is classic, music for Rob Zombie only one expression among
many. He
also draws comics, works as a film producer, composed the soundtrack
for the computer game "Quake II" and directed a tribute album to the
Ramones.
They also visit the concert by Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson on 09.12.2012 at Zenith in Munich.
Two long years have been those who have been through so we came to know something new about The Floor Is Lava Made. The Danish, who achieved some recognition with "Howl At The Moon", is immersed in the recording of their third studio album. So far there seem to be too much detail about it but it is possible to enjoy the music video network official first single entitled 'Lost In The Woods'.
"'Lost In The Woods' is about seeing yourself at the intersection that we are mired in between being a child and being a teenager. How would you do? I wondered. How to be brave and in turn not have to worry about reality? That is something that we all encounter at some point in our infancy. "- Commented the singer Tobias Kippenberg for web DR.DK. "The first verse I composed around that time with 5-6 years we excedímonos entering in a forest. I think that feeling can be extrapolated to our lives today. "
It is a very pleasant surprise to learn that TFMOL continue to soldier on. It's been a battery since that interview that I conducted (and it took canes to share with Tobias in the heart of Barcelona). Hopefully this end of 2012 / early 2013 is a great stage for one of the biggest bands of the scene cool the Danish P3.
