Modern Pants, live in Kreuzberg Berlin, 2005
The Post-Modern Pants are a retro-electro duo from Australia/New Zealand based in Berlin.
Consisting of DJ Daf (indie-rocker and former guitarist and singer of The Modern Pants see: http://www.daphneowers.com/music.html) on vocals, drum machines and casiotone, and Ozi Bsy (aka DJ the Box Room Rebel and former bassist of The Modern Pants) on e-guitar and drum machines, the Post-Modern Pants have forged a unique Aussie/New Zealandish retro-electro sound.
With influences as broad as The Smiths to Le Tigre, admist the electrotrash surroundings of Berlin, the Post Modern Pants have broken off a bit of new ground in the emerging genre of retro-electro and stand on it proudly!
Are you a vegetarian? If so, a song from you is posted on my Berlin field recordings page. There was a kiwi guy who performed on the night but I dont know his name - I have called him spotting knife - maybe you could tell me his name. Here is the link -
Calling all maniacal sound'n'visionary performance and post-new-art lovers: Berlin's sadly no longer secret cult venue Wallywoods at Weissensee is one year old this weekend. Be there or miss Berlin's freakiest party on Saturday (starting with a wee freaky party on Friday) featuring the opening of our biggest exhibition yet, 23 artists from 20 lands, umpteen music & nutter acts including Isondu Tribe's light-jugglers dropping in from Argentina, the 10 Kaput Pianos Orchestra (open jam sessions), performance piano-painters, a new theramin, an old local bugger who won't leave us alone, and no doubt the odd surprise or VIP. Love to see you. Alive and well. Wally. (Free entry Saturday for everyone, especially naked people with money to spend. )
