dies einen Sinn ergibt.
So sitzen im Sommer 2011 vier junge und eigentlich in Berlin beheimatete Männer in einer Bar in Liverpool und entscheiden sich für einen gemeinsamen Neuanfang: EMPIRE ESCAPE.
Neben einigen Konzerten mit Bands wie I Like Trains, Pete & The Pirates oder The Temper Trap zieht es die Band zu ersten Studioaufnahmen in die endlose Weite Schwedens. Mit Hilfe von Mathias Oldén (Logh) und Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Fireside, Refused, The Hives) werden hier die ersten Songs aufgenommen und produziert.
TICKETS IM VVK:
Für das Konzert wird es eine limitierte Auflage handgefertigter Hardtickets im Vorverkauf geben. Der VVK-Preis beträgt 6 Euro.

SEAPONY (Hardly Art) http://hardlyart.com/seapony.html In just over a year, Seapony have gone from buzzed-about Midwest transplants to reliable dream pop purveyors, with fans from
... more
the shores of the Pacific Northwest to the neon-dappled wards of Japan. The September release date for their sophomore LP Falling heralds, appropriately, the onset of fall. It’s an album primed for autumnal enjoyment, handily conjuring the placid atmosphere of a Northwest summer’s twilight days. This is fitting, as the band is entering a new and more ambitious period in their career, with a sharper-than-ever live show and a fanbase that grows by the day.
Formed in 2010, Seapony is bassist Ian Brewer and core songwriting duo—and longtime couple—Jen Weidl (guitars, vocals, lyrics) and Danny Rowland (guitar, lyrics), who met in Ohio in the early 2000s. Their coastal relocation has served them well their debut LP Go With Me was rife with humbly infectious shoreside ebullience.
Falling sees Weidl and Rowland incorporating some of their live show’s palpable rock energy into Seapony’s patented sun-kissed sound. With guitars engaged in a delicate, complex pa-de-deux, and fuller, less-rigid percussion, Falling is a record of disarming grace. Fans of the economic, winsome lyrics of Go With Me will be pleased to hear similarly relatable poesies set against a richer sonic palette, one that’s been blessed with a vivid and audible warmth from the engineers at Olympia’s renowned Dub Narcotic Studios.
Six seasons have passed since Hardly Art re-released the band’s acclaimed “Dreaming” single, but those intervening months have felt like one long, idyllic summer. This is the trick of their expertly-crafted pop: to still time, to make moments feel everlasting and indelible. Now, at last, the fall is here, and Seapony are here to make it just as unforgettable.

HIGH WOLF (Not Not Fun) http://highwolf.bandcamp.com In between Herzog's Aguirre and Levi Strauss' Sad Tropics, mysterious and psychoactive, High Wolf's music mixes cosmic loops, fuzzy guitars,
... more
droney synths, mystic vocals and tribal percussions, inspired by primitive and ritual music as well as adventurous modern music.
Hyperactive and globalized artist, continuously on the move all around the globe, High Wolf never stops to produce and collaborate from the beginning, in 2009. Revealed with the release of his first tape on the californian label Not Not Fun, starting point of a long term relationship with this influent label (another tape in 2011, 7" and debut LP in 2010, another LP planned for 2012). In 2011another american label, Holy Mountain (Om, James Ferraro) released his second Lp album entitled "Atlas Nation".
High Wolf has many different projects, including Iibiis Rooge, dark duo close to a techno ambient harsher than his usual music, with Neil Campbell (Astral Social Club, Vibracathedral Orchestra). Iibiis Rooge has two LP albums out, self titled in 2010 on Dekorder (nominated for the Qwartz Electronic Awards) and "Hespherides" in 2012.
He also collaborated, either live or on record, with many emblematic artists from the new underground psych scene: Sun Araw, Gnod, Sylvester Anfang II, Eternal Tapestry, Topping Bottoms…
High Wolf frequently performs live all around Europe since 2009 and has toured Japan in 2010 and USA in 2011 and 2012. High Wolf globalization continues with tours in China, Australia and USA planned for the second half of 2012. He's now invited to play in some of the most prestigious festivals like the Austin Psych Fest or Hopscotch Festival.
In the same spirit than Sun Araw, some of the Sublime Frequencies artists and classic Krautrock legends High Wolf opens a mental and synaesthesic window with his equatorial electronic psychedelia.

THE BABIES (Woodsist) http://thebabiesband.tumblr.com/ After their first full length album on Shrimper Records, a demos e.p. on New Images and scores of singles on
... more
U.S. and international record labels, The Babies second album “Our House on the Hill” is their Woodsist Records debut and the first with new bassist, Brian Schleyer.
While the band was originally conceived as a side-project outlet for Kevin Morby and Cassie Ramone – along with drummer Justin Sullivan – to trade song ideas and play house parties, 2011 saw the project grow into a full time affair. The band spent much of the year touring the U.S. and abroad, all the while writing new material, both in their home of Brooklyn and during a two-month sojourn in Los Angeles.
In February 2012, the band swapped their usual environs of Brooklyn’s Rear House recording studio and spent two weeks in Los Angeles working with Producer Rob Barbato (Darker My Love, The Fall, Cass McCombs). The increased time and focus allowed them to explore musical directions only hinted at on their first album. Thus, “Our House on the Hill” features hushed dirges, melancholic traveling odes and squealing rave-ups, all made cohesive by Kevin and Cassie’s captivating songwriting and lyrical themes. Organ, piano, saxophone and even strings play a supporting role in enhancing the aural atmosphere, which finds the band finally realizing a sound that can be called their own. Simple yet thoughtful familiar yet haunting. Sweet but somber.
“The set opener "Alligator" is conversational in tone and acts to disarm the hardened listener with its pop confection and curve ball time change signatures on a check of solid Gang of Four gold. “Yo, I dig your hair, I gotta tell you about these holes in my pants, I would rather not hold yer hand. You get the drift." Cassie evokes Anna Karina if she were in The Shangri-La's instead of Godard films in "See the Country" and then married throughout the entire record are those otherworldly harmonized "oohs" "aahs" by Kevin Cassie that'll make the stubble on your spine take notice if you are still one of them folks in need of oxygen to breathe. The switchblade knives butterfly stitches that paint the heartache and conflict throughout this long player will sharpen you for your next lovelorn argument, stumbling bar brawl between you a reflection of your 17 year old self in the face of a tinfoil plated locket or for the working stiffs, that 3am Saturday drive home from the bad side of the tracks back to the sad side. Put the needle on the flip and throw that break up layer of tears away: we got a ride to catch to that house on the hill.”- Dennis Callaci

Rosa Luxemburgs Hauptwerk “Die Akkumulation des Kapitals”. Als politische Ökonomin versuchte Rosa Luxemburg mit diesem Buch einen Beitrag zur ökonomischen Erklärung des Imperialismus, also der damals jüngsten Entwicklungen der kapitalistischen Weltwirtschaft zu geben. Sie stiess damit auf heftigen Widerstand und harte Kritik – die meisten ihrer marxistischen Zeitgenossen waren mit ihrer Theorie ganz und gar nicht einverstanden.
Heute, so scheint es, nähern wir uns jedoch einer Situation, wie sie Rosa Luxemburg in ihrem Buch vor 100 Jahren beschrieben und analysiert hat: Der Kapitalismus als Weltsystem stösst an seine Grenzen. Aber was folgt daraus?

Holger Zapf

- Synthetiseur (electronically treated)
Joe Dilworth - Homogenised Drums
Tim Gane was guitarist and Joe Dilworth the original drummer in the group Stereolab.
The band was formed to record a dystopian future music LP for the Berlin based Grautag label. The LP "blood-drums" will be released in a double vinyl format on Grautag in June 2013.
The LP was recorded in mono and electronically processed for stereo.
In addition a 12" was recently finished and will be made available for the bands forthcoming showat the ATP festival in Camber Sands. The 12" will only be available at the concert.
The band is essentially a power trio, but without any discernible dynamics and the music is mainly electronic and heavily treated. Some idea of the sound may be gleaned from the bands influences which include David Bowie's "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family", Mahogany Brain's "Bloody Hide And Seek In The Rain" and "Hot Milk Elbow" and the front cover to Heldon 6.

in Berlin and a protagonist of the Berliner Schule that emerged in clubs like the Zodiac, Sun and Magic Cave. Mr. Schickert released two albums on Brain and Sky in the 1975 and 1980, “Samtvogel” and “Überfällig”. The albums featured a psychedelic sound with a cosmic touch. The pieces were lengthy with complex layers of rhythmic-harmonic sequences, expansive echoes and reverberation -extrapolated improvisations. A great trip!
PHAROAH CHROMIUM is the solo project of Berlin artist Ghazi Barakat – A project of a mutoid post krautrock, psychedelism ambiant, and anxious landscapes. Heat wave, half coma, and clammy matress. Dusty landscape on the Terminal beach, the Fata morgana become oil wells on fire.
