Kleingeist, German for "small spirit", are bound around the songs and lyrics of singer/songwriter Mato Von and take their blend from their various influences, whether rock, blues, folk, indie or country, into their transformed view upon the world, its unquestionable love, interminable passion and its lovely people;
For right now live we play as a duo, always with vocals/guitar, either with lead guitars/bass or drums on the 2nd side. Whatsoever, out of ideas to write in here, so far: Note to self: Everything will come out good. Swallow. Swallow.
Tune in. And have your say on it.
It's not (exactly) thoughtcontrol so far, before you take your hat - feel free to say hello and drop a note; at any time; throughout your sojourning. In other words: We love support if you like the idea of this stuff yet on here,
and also, we long for opinions, so feed us with reviews, messages or comments. Thanks for your time.
Hey back at ya! I see you have not fallen victim to the night yet? Or morning, in your case. The scene is slowly coming to an end here in this town tonight. Like you said (or I said and you turned into lyrics this night), "I don't wanna party."...
Goodnight and talk to you in a few days. Peace and love...

mein französisch lässt leider immer noch zu wünschen übrig, weswegen ich jetzt mehr intuitiv antworte..neues gibt es nicht vieles, ich arbeite jetzt für ein label, was recht angenehm ist, vor allem weil ich um 2.30 pm anfange. was eigentlich zeit für schreibende tätigkeiten lassen sollte, aber es irgendwie doch nicht tut. demnächst d.h. irgendwann in den nächsten monaten wird es aber wieder neues in gedruckter form zu lesen geben! und vielen dank, das schmeichelt.! wie steht es denn in münchen, alles fein? was gibt es neues bei dir? ich habe die liste übrigens nicht vergessen, aber bis auf rock & folk nichts gefunden. oh und les inrockuptibles. ich weiß aber nicht, ob das wirklich das richtige ist und naja, verstehe nicht viel.. dafür kannich demnächst eine überau ausführliche liste mit blogs und locations in DE anbieten. bisou bisou, bonne nuit! kathi
Hey! I just listened to Throw Some Love. Great work! Is this the one that your were refering to that evening/night/morning last weekend? I hear you finally got thru to my voice mail. I saw the missed call. Maybe the problem is fixed?! Talk to you soon Mato. Love you.
Greetings from Tejas...so, I was just watching Scent of a Woman and I thought of you and a conversation that we had one time about that movie. Just thinking of you, my friend...:)
