   About Taxi to the ocean
Delicious popsongs and sharp indie rock songs are brought to you by Taxi to the ocean. Strong melodies, surprising sounds and brilliant guitar work - just a cool band. The band released their third album in the Benelux by Munich Records and in the UK by Cadiz. The artwork was painted by New York based painter Steve Keene (www.stevekeene.com). This guy also did the artwork for Pavement's album 'Wowee Zowee'. Now you know which way the wind blows. Think of Pavement, Wilco, Motorpsycho, dEUS and Gentle Giant.

Musik in Berlin





Jul 6 2009 10:11 AM

Inmiddels zijn 200 boeken verkocht en de pers is positief over Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel.

Duits.de:
‘Ik vind dat Jonker … die klus heel goed geklaard heeft.’
‘Het boek is over de gehele linie - algemene geschiedenis en muziekgeschiedenis - toegankelijk geschreven en bevat talrijke anekdotes.’
‘Alles wat langs moet komen komt dan ook langs: de jazzgekte van de jaren '20, de Schlagers van de jaren '30 en '40, Rock'n Roll, Punk, Techno - alles.’


Festivalinfo.nl:
'... geeft het boek een zeer goed en uitgebreid beeld van de muziekcultuur in Berlijn.'

FONK:
'Al met al is het werkje een leuke alternatieve reisgids voor wie binnenkort naar de Duitse hoofdstad gaat. Kort, krachtig en vlot opgepend.'

Trajectum:
'... is vooral voor Berlijn- én muziekfans een must voor in de trein richting Berlin Hauptbahnhof (waar je na het lezen van de eerste pagina's meteen op wilt stappen).'

Het boek is t/m 31 juli met korting online te bestellen voor EUR 14,-. Daarna geldt de normale winkelprijs van EUR 15,95. En ook in de winkels gaat het hard. Velvet Music moest al bij bestellen, nadat ze uitverkocht waren. Bestel jouw exemplaar nu!

Why? myspace
The addictive antidote for onedimensional hip hop. The ultimate mixture between indie pop, electronics en avanthop!

the Burning hell myspace
Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes rock, sometimes roll. Always folk, never anti. Quirky? Maybe. Cute? Never. Combining happy little melodies and depressing Old World fatalism, the music of The Burning Hell is sure to make you smile and want to give up.

We rate this gig 5_stars stars on the scale of awesomeness!
