  • Bio

    We are a lovely quartet of stringed things. We play all types of music and noises (we're particularly good at the noises). Recently we've worked with Meredith Monk, supported and collaborated with Hot Chip, featured on the soundtrack to In The Loop, improvised with Damo Suzuki from Can at the Purcell Room, performed in New York and Texas, done a gig inside a volcano, collaborated with Adem, performed George Crumb's "Black Angels" in York, improvised soundtracks for beautiful old silent films at the BFI, played on the beach of the river Thames, travelled to Belgium to play a festival and scraped up the hire van, recorded the 2nd Gabriel Prokofiev album (out now on Nonclassical label!), improvised at a fire festival (Luminox) in a bandstand lit by fire, toured Britain with Adem/Richard Swift/Nina Nastasia, and recorded our own EP of our own music.

     How is it going with the quartet? I did enjoy your playing back in the days, there was a great performance of that S Montague quartet I remember very well. I hope it's still going well.

    liebe freunde,

    wir möchten euch herzlich zu folgender tanzveranstaltung einladen:

    **********************************
    RECORD RELEASE PARTY
    **********************************
    HOCH/TIEF (stuttgart)
    PULT (hamburg)
    **********************************
    donnerstag, den 10. märz 2011
    astra-stube, hamburg
    **********************************

    Die drei Musiker hinter Hoch/Tief sind keine Unbekannten: als Upfront/Boiler und später CargoCity zählten sie Mitte der 90er Jahre zu den bekannteren Bands im süddeutschen Raum, veröffentlichten zwei CDs und spielten u.a. mit Bands wie Biohazard, Sick Of It All, Ignite, Samiam. Unter dem Namen Hoch/Tief knüpfen sie an beste Boiler-Zeiten an: riffbetonter Sport-Rock, moshig und fett, aber mit Sinn für Melodien. Als prägende Einflüsse klingen an: Helmet, Quicksand, AC/DC...
    Kürzlich erschien ihr Debütalbum auf Arctic Rodeo Recordings.
    Grund genug, das zusammen mit PULT und euch zu feiern!

  • Humalien

    Hi there, thanks for the friendship and all that bla-bla-bla crap we all use to post on others' profiles. I'll get to the point a.s.a.p: For gamers, nerds and metalheads alike: The complete Humalien discography is out now at Bandcamp for $10. If you're interested, pre-listen some tracks and support my work. There are 5 demos, 1 full-length, 1 single and 1 bonus disc (unlisted tracks) in the 'Synth-Death Metal' (2007-2010) [2011 / Digital BoxSet]. That means 3 years of my work, 80+ tracks (or 5+ playing time hours of VGDM -Video Game Death Metal-). Go to HUMALIEN.BANDCAMP.COM if you're interested. And if you post a nice comment back, you just might get a 30% discount (for a limited time only) [How? Send me two comments; one with your e-mail adress you want your discount code sent to -I will NOT post it and I will NOT spam you with newsletters and all that crap-, and a comment with your opinion on Humalien.] For old-school metalheads: Check out my other project, Theianism (Old-School Death Metal) at MYSPACE.COM/THEIANISM *If you need a vocalist for your band, maybe we could dig somethin' up, but keep in mind that I don't pig squeal. My style is a mixture between Six Feet UNdeR, Morbid Angel, Lowbrow, Deicide and mostly anything old-school. For bands in need of a nice looking logo or artwork: Check out GDMA at GROTESQUE-DEATH-METAL-ARTWORK.BLOGSPOT.COM for logo samples and artwork (coming soon). Respect! ..m/ -C.
