Pitchtuner celebrate their Birthday

Am I getting old, or why is one my favourite local berlin bands celebrating their 10th anniversary?  Nevertheless it is a great reason to celebrate. Pitchtuner has shown us for years how a band cannot just be fun and inspiring to watch and to dance with but also innovative regarding their invention of instruments and crazy soundsystem. The sweet and sexy German/Japanese couple not only rocks with crazy melodies but sings directly to your heart with their  Japanese lyrics. The party this Friday will be something to really look forward to with a Goose DJ set and several other cool acts apart to Pitchtuner. We will throw out some guestlist spots on our facebook page. After the jump you can find a flyer to the party and some really nice videos.

Rammstein’s Funeral

Photo: Frédéric Batier

What is the most successful German band outside of Germany? No, it is not Tokio Hotel, and it is not The Scorpions, it is – Rammstein. In fact, they are also the most controversial band. In the past, these boys from East Berlin have done a great job in producing scandals. They played around with Leni Riefenstahl’s aesthetic, they shot porno music videos and did songs about SM. Last week, they celebrated their own funeral in Berlin. A video about it, after the jump.

Hello Kimbra

When we think of New Zealand mostly things like Kiwis, beautiful landscapes and Lord of the Rings comes to mind. Not at all would be think that a super-cool indie-pop princess would come from these magical lands. But let me introduce you to Kimbra. Her debut album Vows hasn’t been released in Europe yet, but it should be! Her amazing singles Settle Down and Cameo Lover speak for themselves (have a look at the lovely videos after the jump). In times where our ears are poluted by Lady Gaga, Britney and all the other over-the-top pop divas, Kimbra is a welcome change. Enjoy after the jump.

How Come You Never Go There

I missed her. Feist. Her album The Reminder was the soundtrack to so many Sunday breakfasts and cosy dinners. Her new album Metals just came out last month and I’m glad to have a new soundtrack. The beautifully haunting video to her new single How Come You Never Go There reminds me a bit of the online concert performance of Iamamiwhoami. Have a look after the jump.

Blown away by a Nordic Wind

Nya Rampen

I am quite in love with Scandinavian design, fashion and interiors. But I never got the chance to learn more about their perfomance art scene. Today the Nordwind Festival starts at Volksbühne. So, I finally get  the chance to get rid of this culture lack in my head.  Recommendations for specific parts of the festival will be done when I have actually see any of the perfomances. But for now I hope you will check out the program and perhaps also dance at the opening party tonight at HBC.

Singing on Pappelallee


There are these kind of bands in Berlin that have never been the big Newcomer like Bonaparte or Bodi Bill. Even though they should not be forgotten. They show us how much Berlin has to offer apart from the usual music mainstream in Germany. One of those bands I liked for several years but kind of lost track of is Naomi. This Saturday they are playing live at Privatclub in Kreuzberg and I am really looking forward to hear their latest songs. Check out some of my favourite songs as music videos after the jump.

Tree and Moon by JR, courtsy of Circle Culture

Most of the time we are used to taking. Take a photo, take some time, take a piss, take the cake, take that. How about this week we do a little giving. And what giving feels better than one that includes taking also? Take a piece of art, give money to charity for instance. Swell! Take this, as well as short films, concerts, gallery openings, workshops, parties and much more, as usual after the jump!
