only me. its my ego trip. theresa. the golden diskó ship.
Influences
restlessness/boredom. chocolate. first takes, peaceful hangovers, lakes, trees, streets. girls. bad weather, swimming pools.
besides, everything ive ever heard or played is an influence i guess..hm. chronologically:
singing loudly in the pram and for my deaf greatgrandfather, glockenspiel in kindergartentime, viola and classical music, orchestras, string quartets, the jazzy rock string orchestra. then guitar and..
rock! my rock band in school, an ambitious experimental mess on a farm in the middle of boredom.
later..electro..
weird avantgarde stuff i had to deal with in university...
trash and mistuned guitars..iceland.. at the moment.. ah im not sure anymore...

if you want to buy one of my self- made eps, just write me a message, and i will send it to you! www.indieberlin.de also distributes them, as well as www.sopa.dk, in case you live in denmark. if you prefer offline life, go to the amazing dense record shop (petersburger str. 81, berlin), or come to a gig of course. 12 tónar in reykjavík should have some left somewhere in the cellar, too, but they dont know that.

and////////i make videos. check: videos.
Sounds Like
a mess of many instruments (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, cd cases, toy stuff etc etc) and some immature singing, combined with cheap electro beats/sounds and lousy mixing, intended to melt together to songs that should sound beautiful and interesting at the same time, lalalalalala.
the golden diskó ship is a golden ship rotting around in the harbour of reykjavík and it looks super. i filmed it. and i heard the story about these guys who wanted to escape the icyiceland and make it a party ship in the caribbean islands or something, so they painted it gold. but its still right there and i dont know more. hm.

"An exquisite and imaginative London talent, Windmill combines star-gazing and
shoe-gazing without a hint of mediocre middle ground..." - BBC
"Freakoid Americana that sounds like a lost Mercury Rev or Grandaddy album. Not bad for a one-man
band from Newport Pagnell." - NME
"Timeless and Graceful. Tales of asthmatics and fashion houses, plastic pre-flight seats and boarding
lounges that you can't help returning to." - THE GUARDIAN
"[...] an impressive album of displacement anxiety with sonics to match. Think Mercury Rev making
a break up album." - THE INDEPENDENT
Einlass: 20:00 / Beginn 21:00
Tickets: 5€
