The Dialekt firmly believe in that old saying, "Contentment is the enemy of invention." Which is why four different people from London, Wales, Swabia and Seattle moved to Berlin, one of Europe's poorest and coldest cities, to make music. Being perverse is more important than being comfortable. Or warm. Everything slows down in the cold - water, libidos, atoms. Everything apart from the desire to make great music.
Live, The Dialekt deploy a neat 'diamond formation' on stage, ensuring there are no gaps through which their unique brand of unnecessarily catchy synth-laden guitar pop can escape. The rhythm section is tighter than a gnat's chuff, if the gnat was also reading a Condoleeza Rice lingerie catalogue. The lyrics sit perfectly on a line between laugh-out-loud funny and contemplatively beautiful. But most of all, whilst embracing their influences as if they were your groovy, weed-smoking uncle, The Dialekt sound different. Fresh. Forward looking. You get the idea. It's music that the German phrase "earworm" was invented for.
So turn up the stereo and get ready to smile. The Dialekt have suffered for your enjoyment.
. . . this is just to let you know that my brother Philipp is in town and we will play a Crazy for Jane show at the Down by the River Festival on Saturday. The line-up is amazing, check it out www.myspace.com/downbytheriverfestival. We are so excited to be a part of this. It all takes place at Bar25. We go on at 2:45 in the afternnon, yes early, and we would love to see you by daylight. And then we can see all those other bands together. What do you say? If you want to come out tonight for a festival warm-up . . . they are screening "Berlin Song" at the Ping Pong Bar on Glogauerstrasse 21 at 9:30 p.m. tonight (Friday) and afterwards Crazy for Jane and Tomi Simatupang will play some songs. Yeah. So lots of opportunities to hang out and conversation and listen to music and watch clouds and the Spree and dreams and there is a swing at Bar25 . . .

cheers Barn yeah I had a wikid night. got considerable smashed and was on antibiotics at the time which was well, interesting. Hope everythings going well, whatever you're doing and whatever country you're in! xx
Hi hmm should have really explained myself. We did actaully go to the same school, but I was a lot younger- so you're forgiven for having no idea who i am.
Also I did use to live in Berlin & Eva Mcmanus told me you lived there too..& I thought I saw you once- panoramabar circa 2005- could it have been you..??
Well..so now we're friends. Super! x
You're right about defining myself with reference to people I don't like. I couldn't think of what to write and since they are annoying me A LOT of late, I just wrote about them. I'll change it soon. Sorry I'll be missing yet another of your gigs. Hope it goes well.
Ah, you see Barnaby, I managed to add you eventually, if not a little belated!
I hope you're doing a gig in March when I'll be visiting your fair city?
Also, if you want us to play you on my radio show, I'd be happy to, love the tracks on the site, just need a mp3 or cd version to make sure it sounds spot on.
Tom, you numbskull. I was referring to Pancake...under me in the comments section. I hope all is well down under. I love Sydney. If you get the chance to hit up Goodbar, I believe you will find the best hipop music in Sydney there. See you soon man!
