sublime club

sublime club is back. read more here.

to get you in the right mood i've got a wonderful electro-shoegaze song from team ghost for you. team ghost is a french based band which recently released their first ep "you never did anything wrong to me". you should definitly listen to "echoes". imagine dark blue waving lights and this song and you know what you gonna miss if you don't go to the sublime club in regensburg on may 14th.

at the beginning i wasn`t the only person who received a completly wrong impression by the delusive voice of following band. at first view 8 of 10 people would identify the lead singer as a woman by mistake. i´m sure. that´s all about hatifnats, an upcoming shoegaze-dreampop trio from warsaw. by observing their first vocals you will useless looking for a female person on stage. anyway, you won`t find none. on stage: absolute guy`s night. perplexing but true. so much for that. this kind of phonetic charakteristic made these three polish musicians completely unique in a sense with an own artistic vision. they self-described them "closer to a romantic ideal of music which should be enjoyed consciously and seriously".

so, on january 15th i had the chance to listen to one of their still rare germany performances. it took place at gloria (i`ve already mentioned this delightful club inclusive the tireless S|U|B|L|I|M|E evenings here). memorable was the intro-begining of "towards the sunset", which they drag on a little. lead singer michal pydo fascinated the audience with his circular movements on his guitar. it rang very cabalistic. epic interweaved in some way. nearly meditative. dreamlike. also memorable the ending of their regular set. "before it is to late", the title track, overreached ceremonial with conclusion. what intenseness! i guess they played all audiolicious songs from their debut. as additional encore the formidable track "horses from shelville" was powerful repeated for 2nd time. good on you!

Ruhm und Ehre dem Gloria!

Regensburg, Gloria 19.12.2008 Auf hell erleuchteten Lettern strahlt einem an der Eingangspforte des altehrwürdigen Filmtheaters das Abendprogramm entgegen - S|U|B|L|I|M|E - ein Clubabend der besonderen Gütekategorie. Serviert wird dem quer geneigten Musikliebhaber erlesener Indiepop, Shoegaze & Elektronica. Betritt man nun das Innenareal, erfüllt einen unmittelbar das wohlwollende Gespür für das Außergewöhnliche dieser Veranstaltungreihe. Die Grundidee besteht offenbar darin, nicht nur momentan angesagte Indiemusik zu spielen, sondern auch die Wurzeln und Anfänge der heutigen Bands wieder hervorzuheben. So kommen verwandte Musikrichtungen mit auf den Plattenteller, allen voran Shoegaze, Dreampop, Noisepop und Subpop bis hin zu leichten elektronischen und wavigen Klängen. Getreu nach dem Motto listen and dance lauscht man einstweilen selten gewordenen, unbekannten und neuen Bandscheiben (Swervedriver, Joy Division, The Notwist, Deerhunter u.v.m.). Aufgehübscht wird das Ganze durch rare 60ies Filme auf einer Leinwand vor der stets zugenebelten Tanzfläche...Indiedisco Galore!
