beyond words...


i really have to revisit a trio from yorkshire, a band brother HiasSon mentioned during december 2008. well! when we`d saw sky larkin playing at the atomic cafe during november 2008, i had the chance to talk to katie after their short performance (at that time they were co-support). i asked her for a setlist - i was intense impressed by one or two songs from their set i didn´t know then - they didn`t have any, even more they didn`t have any acquirable sound carrier. ever since for considerable time i have been listening to a certain song. i `ll never lose sight of this special and magnificent one. queens of the stone age wrote a track named "I WAS A TEENAGE HAND MODEL". sky larkin did a remake with matchless bravery. a crystal clear instrumentation und a phenomenal & graceful voice let my heart beat on a higher level. a state of abeyance. what a coup!

Marry The Onettes

in the course of a forthcoming concert evening i spot some piece of jewelry named "Kicks". this brilliant ballad song is located on the DARE-EP by the swedish indiepop band THE MARY ONETTES.

the first piano notes makes the moment feel so lovely. that`s all about music. the begining voice with all its sadness might be quite simlilar to adam olenius in a way. if there is some more knocking and rattling, the song could be a shout out loud one. anyway fabulous. for the future the band release another ten track LP called ISLANDS.

i´m glad to have a chance to listen to their new material imbedded within one of their rare live shows in germany. an evening on november, 20th seems to be predestinated. as well as the location. a place mentioned GLORIA. in a blaze of glory.
