   About Joe Mejer
"Don't say it can't be done, our work is just begun . .. take it from Dr. King and learn to sing and drop the gun." -Pete Seeger

It didn't take an expensive image consultant to come up with the name, Joe Mejer (pron. "major"). That's his real name. Besides, who would need to worry about "image" when they create music that's already fashionable in itself? Donning a motley of musical influences from Arlo Guthrie to Outkast, Joe Mejer's music fuses the fun with the madness, the anxiety with the despair, and the revolution with the guitar. Learning how to play the guitar at age 16 boosted Mejer's interest in soundscapes. Over the next few years, having mastered the congas, maracas, and bongos, he'd find himself doubly enmeshed in South Bend, Indiana's burgeoning, local-music scene by playing in both a church worship band and a “jazz/funk fusion" jam band, Different Folk. Mejer then relocated to Durham, North Carolina. Only a few years later, and with the addition of electronic drums and synthesizing, he carved out his first solo LP, Experimentation. The title, Experimentation, may come off as a disclaimer, but Mejer's guitar-plucking instrumentals, accompanied by a lustful penchant for futuristic folklore, speak for themselves. Without sounding too distant, Mejer finds a way to hide inside of his songs, blending in when necessary, but peaking out when he wants you to find him or to feel what he's saying. Currently, while working with other musicians, he’s working on a solo EP more grounded in live instrumentation.

III. U-RODZINY SATURATORA

bilety: 20zł (w tym kompilacja 2xCD)



..
..
..

Mija już trzeci rok jak SATURATOR zmaga się z ciężką jak na Warszawę lokalizacją na Pradze Północ, prezentując jednocześnie ambitną muzykę i wzbogacając ją o liczne performance i akcje artystyczne. Dla niektórych miejsce artystyczne przeciwstawiające sie tzw. miejskiemu mainstreamowi, dla kolejnych odlegle czy nawet za bardzo hardcorowe... a jednak jest, ma się dobrze, zbiera liczne nagrody i wyróżnienia, łamie mit niebezpiecznej Pragi i porywa się na coraz bardziej wyszukane akcje artystyczne.
Podsumowaniem naszej trzyletniej działalności będzie występ kultowej niemieckiej grupy: COBRA KILLER, która według nas najlepiej odda klimat wszystkich naszych imprez poprzez energetyczną muzykę i wielkie sceniczne show.
W prezencie dla wszystkich naszych gości przewidzieliśmy urodzinowy gift w postaci dwupłytowej kompilacji CD, która będzie dystrybuowana bezpłatnie przy wejściu do klubu!
Na płytach zaprezentujemy wykonawców, którzy przez ostatni rok rozgrzewali do czerwoności parkiet Saturatora i będzie to kontynuacja naszej pierwszej kompilacji, która to rozpoczęła caly cykl wydawniczy promocyjnego studia SATURATOR LABEL (http://www.myspace.com/saturatorlabel)
