Mikrofisch - Masters of the universe
...the story of Mikrofisch started in the first year of the Third Millenium and can be retraced here.
In 2007, four years after our debut, we finally managed to complete our second album. On a night bus, riding home from a crappy indie party, Silvi and Mawe wondered if there was a song called The Kids Are All Shite. The next day, there was, as well as the title of Mikrofisch's second album Masters of the Universe. It is released for free on netlabel KINOKOMA (a subdivision of KOMAKINO magazine).
We hope you like it - we certainly do. Please don't hesitate to drop us a line if you want to book us, interview us, give us money, ask us whatever happened to our old fourtrack etc. - But first:
Mitglieder von Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros/The Clash, Tocotronic, Herrenmagazin und viele andere ohne “Namedropping” live beim: Hasenschaukel, HH-St.Pauli, Silbersackstr. 17
Hey Mawe! How are you guys doing? Thanks for the kind words. I heard you even looked for a ticket to fly all the way to nürnberg. It would have been nice to meet you again. We had a good time in the sun in Fürth, and you're right: we did have a plan to go to the local thai food/karaoke joint after the show, but unfortunately a heavy case of post-show-fatigue struck us, so it remained a plan. Next time we'll play with you guys we HAVE to do karaoke though and my goal is to make at least one person in the hall cry with my version of elvis's "always on mind". keep in touch & take care, maestro!
Hi & thanks for the add! I like your music too! cheers! plexx
