SNOB VALUE - Demotape OUT NOW!!!!!! Snob Value is a filthy fat bastard from Wiesbaden consisting of five good lookin dudes.After listening to some myspace songs, I fall deeply in love with this shit. Raw, dirty and fast forward 80s hardcore punk with some nice catchy hooks. It's just like being back in the old days and listening to bands like CIRCLE JERKS or BLACK FLAG. Ok ok, this comparison is a bit exhaused by masses of third class hc bands, but trust me, this stuff is really rad! Limited to 111 poisongreen tapes in greeeeen cases! Cool? Order here via mail or through spasticfantastic.de! Trades are cool, too!!!
ich muss die zum glück nich auswendig können ;-) Pete und co hatten eben schon wieder sehnsucht.... wir sehn uns, maybe tonight mit oder ohne grünkohl im magen. oi
Bassmusic, Streetart und Tanz. Drei Elemente und ein gemeinsamer Ursprung, die Straße. Nun gibt es Straßen überall auf der Welt, jedoch zeigen sie sich in unterschiedlichen Gewand. Und hier liegt der Anspruch des heutigen Abends versteckt. Mad Again! möchte Bassmusic, Streetart und Tanz aus verschiedensten Teilen der Erde eine Plattform bieten. Du bist hiermit herzlich auf diese Reise eingeladen, wenn sich z.B. Banksy auf einer Wand mitten in Kingston verewigt, in London eine neue Bassline das Licht der Welt erblickt oder in Abidjan gerade ein neuer Tanz die Stadt in Bewegung versetzt.
Fr, 13.11.2009 @ Distillery Leipzig
Galeriefloor: verschiedene Stücke/Werke, Filme und Bilder zum Thema Streetart und Tanz
Basskäfig: Tim Turbo & Danny Scrilla Sencha & audite Selectah Spinback & Pablo Gunzales

Jack Hosé sind elektrisch. Die drei kehren sich einen Dreck darum und lassen ab der ersten Sekunde keinen Zweifel daran. Laut und tanzbar bis zum Morgen.
Eine Faust von einer Frau, dazu raubeinige Beats und Bass in Jogginganzügen. Mit Knarz, Stampf und Megafon schreien sie es in jeden Nachthimmel: "I dont wanna be a part of your revolution!"

... aus dem dänischen Aalborg besteht eigentlich nur aus Sofie Nielsen. Mit Ihrem Debut "Small Arm Of Sea" gelingt Sofie gleich im ersten Anlauf ein Album das sich auf dem Weg hin zu Hanne Hukkelberg, Joanna Newsom und Coco Rosie befindet. Durch die abstrakten Break Beats und elektronische Keyboard Passagen nähert sie sich dabei immer wieder an Trip Hop (Tricky, Massive Attack) oder Björk an. All diese musikalischen Varianten finden sich hier zusammen mit Sofies warmer, extravaganter Stimme. Live Performances vereinen passend die musikalische Seite von Tone mit fein abgestimmten Videosequenzen zu einer ungewöhnlichen Konzertatmosphäre.
