you can order the split EP :
"BROKOF vs. SORRY GILBERTO"
on the goldrausch-records website.
there are three of our songs on it and three songs of SORRY GILBERTO, that we are fans of.
www.goldrausch-records.com
The man they called BROKOF was a blazing dark speckle in one families history. A player with a wandering heart. The band called BROKOF, follows him into the vastness and gives it a face. They draft a map with songs. Songs about encounters, fleeting moments of truth. With great urgency they engross themselves in the moment and dismiss them in the lingering sound of a guitar. Interaction originates and thats all it takes. They sing with a beautiful solemn sadness and sometimes a hint of rage from the permanent losses that happen when one moves and about what one gains, when there is nothing more to be expected. Or to put it another way: these are pop songs, grand and yet at the same time purged and reduced to the core. Every sound stands alone yet it serves the song, there are no tricks. Sometimes they are overwhelmingly powerful yet remain naked and vulnerable. (Jakob Dobers / Melissa Perales)
The Band started in January 2007.
In September 2007 they released the split EP "Sorry Gilberto vs Brokof" on Goldrausch-Records.
Their first album will be released in the fall of 2009, named: I HEART.
Ganz Berlin träumt von der Liebe,
denn dort ist sie ja zuhaus.
Ganz Berlin träumt dieses Märchen,
wenn es wahr wird.
Ganz Berlin grüßt dann das Pärchen,
das ein Paar wird.
Ganz Berlin singt immer wieder,
immer wieder nur vom Glück.

ich freue mich, mitteilen zu können, dass ich meine DVD "MUSIK UND MEHR" fertiggestellt habe, die nun in einer hübsch-bescheidenen, selbst gebastelten Verpackung daherkommt und einen Überblick über zwölf Jahre des grandiosen Scheiterns liefert: alle No-Budget-Videoclips, Konzertmitschnitte, Interviews und ein ominöser Kurzfilm und auf der CD dann noch einmal sechzehn LoFi-Perlen von 1997 bis heute. Damit nicht genug: Neben "MUSIK UND MEHR", welche man sich im SHOP meiner Homepage WWW.DIAMETRAL-MUSIKUNDMEHR.DE bestellen kann, gibt es noch das kostenlose Album "ES IST VORBEI", welches man sich zum Beispiel HIER oder HIER (Last.Fm) downloaden kann, randvoll gefüllt mit Coverversionen, Alternativversionen, Remixen und anderen Raritäten!
Alles Weitere ist an den üblichen Stellen in Erfahrung zu bringen.
Dear friends!

M:SOUNDTRACK presents: THURSDAY, 20. August @ 9 p.m. in Schokoladen :: Lars Ludvig Löfgren (Swe) + Shiver Like Timber (Oz) + Dj Melody Burn vs. Jan Christian..yeah its a dance party! LARS LÖFGRENS songs are hopeful and dreamy, but it has that underlying sense of reality to it. His blog does the trick: “Soul is something that you feel from within, and you do it spontaneously. It’s not something that you learn to do, and it’s not something that you read and you do it. You have to have a natural feeling for it.” It’s good to see music like this coming out of a place like Karlstad. I visited in March – it’s a tiny town where nobody works but nobody does much else. They ride their bikes around and wait for the sunny weather. Jessica- Roundletters blog LISTEN: www.myspace.com/larsludviglofgren
SHIVER LIKE TIMBER is the musical moniker of Betony Dircks. in Australia in 2005-2008 she recorded an E.P, played many shows, toured brisbane, sydney, melbourne and adelaide and supported international acts such as BILL CALAHAN, CAMERA OBSCURA, BEIRUT and PATRICK WOLF. She is currently living in london, making new songs and riding her bicycle around. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/shivermetimber
