Planet of Zeus in the Garage Deluxe

PlanetZMan can not choose his audience, certainly not on the first European tour. Because everything is possible. From a club filled with hundreds, of whom it pleases no one, to the best gig of the career to eight people, anything goes. The Greek Southern rockers of "Planet of Zeus" had on Tuesday evening at the "Garage Deluxe" luck. The audience was enthusiastic. All 20 who were there.
The Clock shows shortly after nine, when most of the guests walked towards the stage. Planet of Zeus, Greece's flagship property in Southern and heavy rock was loaded - and a few had actually come. First, however, entered the first support band of the night - Tanertill - the stage. His first act, before the games, decided the two, "sow as mäik se announcements in English, sou ouch Griek friends kangaroo anda sized As." Undeterred by the lack of audience and their own English language skills put Munich's best Modern Stoner Ghost happening rock band and presented in the usual manner of fat most of her debut album. The set list, "sow what tunait written in a may eliminate Change sign gud friend of as" made, definitely feel like the second album that is currently in the works, and "sometime later this year" was finished, as guitarist Andi after the performance in good German said.
After a short break with Black Lightning was the second band of the evening at the Munich series. The trio delivered from an AC / DC-owned Hard Rock show, which would have fit better in a stadium filled with subtle than in the garage. She also sought contact with the audience and assured those present a good decision and waives the Champion's League, and instead have to listen to Black Lightning.
Finally entered the main characters of the evening the stage. Planet of Zeus, founded in 2000 and Greece in a large number when it comes to rock, have to "Eleven the Hard Way" and "Macho Libre" already released two albums and go to the "Dawn of the Dead" now for the first time in Europe. The bearded Greeks grabbed their instruments and hit it off.
It's hard to describe what was coming from the Athens quartet, shortly after eleven, in the garage Deluxe. Difficult because there are so phrases are, you really do not want to thrash, as they appear in the description of every other village band and were validated by these false and inflated using now. "Riffgewaltig" for example. Or "fat bass" and "groovy drums." If we ignore this cliché descriptions, can be Planet of Zeus probably best described with the following three words: In your face! With incredible energy and precision, they dissected - symbolically - the garage into their individual parts. Its powerful heavy rock, always with the right touch of stoner rock à la Monster Magnet, delighted the audience. That resulted in a relatively tight-lipped frontman Babis by the event, did the mood was great, it was much more sympathetic, as they celebrated their music, despite the relatively empty clubs.

Born Free

America, much loved and hated land of infinite possibilities. America itself, but a very out lutschtes topic actually. America, focusing on typical suburban ideal world, and dream images, that have actually discussed a surprising perspective Schaumberger Florian and Marc Thalberg in their joint exhibition "Born Free" at the Art Academy.

Even the invitation flyer for the show seduced to take so zuckerbäckersüß how the two artists, the small American suburban house on a silver tablet just serve the public. But anyone who expects with American kitsch, he was mistaken. Welcomes the visitor in the classroom 0118 by a suburban girl-projection, which is spent on pleasure and passion of Gogostange - perhaps with the hope to become one day the new Lana del Rey? "Mei, wenns give something to the club, what is the point even more real dancers?" Exclaims a guest. Views is not just In Holds. Then, once let loose a little bit to the right the view from the erotic seduction, wood beams blazing with a flag in front of him.

Florian Berger foam, with its projections on installations almost created holograms, "but I like it when everyone sees that, while it looks deceptively flat but is seen projected." He explains. Mark Thalberg has also worked for his work with a projector, but only in the preparatory phase. He has thrown from him with a Photoshop composite photo on the wall and then copied in pixel by pixel. Two women are seeing it. "Why are the exact two women?" He asks in the round. "In my mind I remember the missing man in a family that is involved in the war." Adds Marc.

In the exhibition, the painting is projected in a darkened room with diffused light, dancing around, black plastic balloons, powered by fans. A strange atmosphere hangs in the room - the animated balloons act as überdimensonialisierte bugs or flying swarms of souls, or at least indefinable organic. They have a mystical swarm dynamics, curve around the body of the visitor or invite her to a play. As image and balloons linked remain a little unclear exactly. "Plastic." Says Marc. "America is not any plastic?" If only the word plastic melts on the tongue like artificial sweetener. (Note to the author so I just ...). Whatever. Exhibitions are good, if not it can replace the pictures in the remotest experience with the art suburb. In Born Free is that, and that's nice! Nice that Intel's Museum of Me went to media art in real space can actually do anything!

PS: Marc Thalberg was the way a sound worth listening cloud of very fine techno.

A photo gallery of the exhibition can be found at Selbstdarstellungssucht.de

"Born Free" - Florian and Marc Schaumberger Thalberg, to 29.04 from Monday to Wednesday (10-18 Clock) and Friday to Sunday (14-22 Clock) in the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, 1st floor room in the 0118th

The Black Keys and John Fogerty pay tribute to Levon Helm of The Band

The second weekend of Coachella 2012 has had many surprises. One of the most talked about was the joint version of The Black Keys and John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) performed 'The Weight' in order to pay tribute to Levon Helm, The Band mythical musician who died last week and that in his long musical career was also recognized for his work with the band that backed Bob Dylan on his first tour electric (The Hawks).

Past and present of rock n 'roll together and paying tribute to an old Glora sector. Perhaps we could think of a better way to fire a big music history? I doubt it. Rest in peace Levon.

Stunning dark

The chilling darkness, the stunning embarrassment of this music is deeply penetrated my consciousness, and makes me freeze in awe of this amazing soundscape. After the excellent "Amen" EP (tape edition via sound relationships) last year, ΔAIMON place now with "Flatliner" after. Nebulous dream-pop, fuzziness Industrial sounds, scraping drag elements, drones uncomfortable, scratchy textures, Half-Step-tech and secretive aspirated vocals are brought together into a unique sound blend. Gloomy, uncomfortable, intelligent neo-synth-pop. Unparalleled, outstanding!

"Flatliner" on 17 April 2012 published by Tundra exquisite Dubs label from San Francisco. The album can be heard on the band's camp-site of the label in its entirety and purchased as a limited LP or download are.

Shared pain

Xiuxiu_München concerts by Xiu Xiu are something of suffering in the semi-public space, so the visitor pays a small contribution to the best possible view of the self-flagellation by Jamie Stewart, played catch with his current three-man backing band. So also on 10 April in the moderately filled crane hall of the Munich plant celebration.

Fair to accuse anyone of having chosen that evening for another form of entertainment - the performances by the Americans are not particularly easy rezipierbar, ranging from the almost non-existing interaction with the audience to spread the four on and off the stage a physically noticeable discomfort, an unpleasant intersection of rugged, repellent gesture and harassed unrest. Most clearly the focus, of course, in the person of Jamie Stewart himself - a driven man who writhes with a faraway look on his guitar, his (selbstbezeugt) ill feelings from the prying eyes down there accused to be devoured, while apparently so under pressure that is says he'll be able to bring the evening to end non-healing.

If he does, of course, but - surprise at all, you have him and his band credit, the music that accompanies this outward display of pain and transformed wonderful, finest indie and post rock is - cold, of course, but also fascinating. This applies to the pieces of his fabulous new album "Always", especially the single "Hi", "Joey's Song" and "Beauty Towne," as well as for older songs, with "Fabulous Muscles," "The Fox And The Rabbit "" I Love The Valley OH! "he mixes his set balanced between past and present. In between, again, the almost obsessive mouthwash using two different liquids, the handwritten change a guitar string (elsewhere the industrious Roadie using a second instrument quickly bridges) in any case of Stewart - no one dares the audience even utter a sound at all - the tense, proverbial ordeal. So much louder then the cheers for two successful cover versions done already seems "Ceremony" from the late work of Joy Division and for this band and this evening, when the furious encore "Frankie Teardrop" staggers from Suicide and jumps Stewart, from his own microphone cord strangled , with lucid smile across the stage - the big show. And certainly the end of an unconventional, but successful evening.
