   About B R O K O F

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 yet sometimes there is 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.

M:SOUNDTRACK presents: THURSDAY the 9th of JULI @ 9 p.m. :::
GRAY BIRD (Bln) + SORRY GILBERTO (Bln) + COMBINE HARVESTER (CH)
+ Dj’s Melody Burn vs. Tanz Wurst

GRAY BIRD
when it's good, play it slower
when it's slow, play it half as fast
Boris Hauf: Organ, Vocals * Rico Repotente: Guitar, Vocals * Derek Shirley: Bass * Steve Heather: Drums, Vocals :: LISTEN: http://hauf.klingt.org/graybird

SORRY GILBERTO like melodies you can hum along to by yourself, inbetween places, in the an afternoon. its all about the weather, big cities and small towns and especially about the people, running around, trying to get a grip on something (or maybe on each other) these songs are shortmovies. somebody has lost the storyboard in the rain, so you can concentrate on faces, sudden movements and the strange guy in the back. if you are into instruments, give a hand to the lazy guitars, the squeeky organs, the swinging basslines, the stoic beats of the rodeo and the little casio. there are voices too. singing about things you already know. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/sorrygilberto

COMBINEHARVESTER is Marlon Mc Neill. „I write all songs and usually play all instruments. I don‘t see my songs as rock songs in the traditional sense, more like music and sounds wrapped around little poems. Poems that may be as short as one line. One does not need many words to say what has to be said. One may see Combineharvester as a melting pot of all or some projects I‘m involved in, or the other way round: the source and inspiration to participate in all kinds of musical oddities.»

M:SOUNDTRACK presents: THURSDAY the 25th of JUNE @ 9 p.m. OLDSEED (Can) + KYST (Poland) + Sasha Steinfurth (Bln)
Photobucket
OLDSEED (CAN) Akkordeon, Gitarre und kluge Songs, vorgetragen von einer Stimme voll an Leidenschaft – mehr braucht Craig Bjerring nicht um uns zu verzaubern.Herzen öffnen, das kann nicht jeder. Der kanadische Singer/Songwriter Craig Bjerring alias OLDSEED gehört auf jeden Fall dazu. Seine folkigen Melodien und sein Gesang erinnern an Jeff Tweedy und Will Oldham, seine Texte handeln von der Liebe, vom Suchen, Finden und vom Verlieren. Sie wiegen einen sanft und sie treffen einen genau ins Herz in kalten Winternächten. Craig eröffentlicht auf amerikanischen und kanadischen Indie-Labels und schaut mit Mütze und Vollbart uriger aus als Badly Drawn Boy zu seinen besten Zeiten. Das Marschgepäck ist leicht: Gitarre, Akkordeon und Rucksack - mehr nicht. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/oldseed

KYST (Norway/Poland) The music is inspired (mostly) by sea, nature, city, love, clouds, space, summer, childhood, memories, dreams, happiness and fear. Young musicians appreciate open spaces, good food, friendship, conversations, movies and books. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/kystband

SASHA STEINFURTH is founder of recording studio Melody Central, one part of the duo stadt land fluss, former member of Erlend Øye’s band and all around musician and songwriter. He has gone on tour with other great bands such as COME (thalia zadek and chris brokaw). LISTEN: www.myspace.com/saschasteinfurth
