IGNATZ

George Herriman created Ignatz in 1910. It was a vicious mouse in the comic Krazy Kat. Ignatz’ favourite occupation was throwing bricks at Krazy Kats head, who thought it was a love declaration from the mouse. The Brussels based artist Bram Devens uses Ignatz as his alter-ego for his own pile of bricks. Acoustic songs wrapped with effects and driven by improvisation and spontaneousness.

… Zum Glück gab es Punk

Ute Wieners erzählt, wie aus einem verschlossenen, unglücklichen Mädchen eine selbstbewusste junge Frau wird. Denn: Zum Glück gab es Punk. Utes Kindheit ist geprägt von Lieblosigkeit, Einsamkeit und Gewalt. Vor dem Horror der Familienverhältnisse, dem Mobbing in der Schule und dem Mief der Provinzmetropole Hannover flieht sie in Traum und Parallelwelten. Doch nachdem Besuch eines Punkkonzerts im Unabhängigen Jugendzentrum Kornstraße weiß sie, wohin die Reise gehen wird. Ute ändert ihr Leben und wird Punk. Bald ist ihr klar: Es ist nicht einfach, sich den gewalttätigen und sexistischen Strukturen der Gesellschaft zu entziehen, denn auch diejenigen, die sich dagegen stellen, kennen nichts anderes. Ute Wieners entwirft ein Sittenbild der 1960er bis 1980er Jahre. Schonungslos berichtet sie von der hannoverschen Studentenbewegung, die sie als Kind erlebte, von Straßenschlachten mit der Polizei und von den Chaostagen. Böse und ironisch erzählt sie von gewalttätigen Skinheads und Normalbürgern, von kurzzeitigen Drogenfluchten, von der Gründung der Anarchistischen Pogopartei, und zeichnet eine radikal subjektive Geschichte des Punk, nicht nur in Hannover. Ute Wieners: Jahrgang 1962, Ex-Punkerin, Ex-Hausbesetzerin, Erwerbslose und Autorin, lebt in der einst besetzten Sprengel-Schokoladenfabrik in Hannover.

Classically trained and rigorously de-trained, possessor of a restless, semi-feral spirit, Lori Goldston is a cellist, composer, improvisor, producer, writer and teacher based in Seattle. Her voice as a cellist, amplified or acoustic is full, textured, committed and original. A perpetual inquirer, she wanders recklessly across borders that separate genre, discipline, time and geography, performing in clubs, cafes, galleries, arenas, concert halls, sheds, ceremonies, barbecues, and sanctuaries; she toured with Nirvana and appeared with them in "Unplugged in New York".

Current and former collaborators, co-conspirators and bosses include Earth, Mirah, David Byrne, Nirvana, Jherek Bischoff, Malcom Goldstein, Matana Roberts, Cat Power, Ellen Fullman, John Doe, the Wedding Present, Laura Veirs, Secret Chiefs 3, Portland Cello Project, Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets, Marisa Anderson, Your Heart Breaks, Trey Gunn, Ô Paon, Tara Jane O'Neil, Natacha Atlas, LeRoy Bell, Threnody Ensemble, Cynthia Hopkins, 33 Fainting Spells, Vanessa Renwick and Lynn Shelton. She is co-founder of the Black Cat Orchestra, and has toured the U.S. and Europe with Earth, and recorded Angels of Darkness Demons of Light, Parts 1 & 2; in 2010 she opened as a soloist on tour with Earth and Wolves in the Throne Room.

Her work has been commissioned by and/or performed at the Kennedy Center, TBA, WNYC, Northwest Film Forum, On the Boards, Frye Art Museum, Seattle International Film Festival, Bumbershoot, Museum of Fine Arts, Joe's Pub, the Stone, Wayward Music Series, Oregon State University, University of Chicago Film Studies Center and One Reel Film Festival. She has received awards from Meet the Composer, Artist Trust, 4 Culture and Seattle Arts Commission, and has taught at the University of Washington, EMP, Idyllwild Arts Academy, the Vera Project and the Bush School.

“The second iteration of Earth has now been recording and touring longer than the first, foundation-shifting phase of the band. You'd be excused, then, for assuming that it's time for Carlson to slip back into the shadows or to again push restart. Rather, on Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I, he returns for his fourth LP with drummer Adrienne Davies, whose tasteful, robust, and slow swing has provided essential ballast for Carlson's thinly etched guitar since 2005. Carlson and Davies do make two personnel changes, though, and they prove essential: The K Records polyglot Karl Blau replaces longtime Earth bassist Don McGreevy, while the swelling organ and horns of Steve Moore are swapped for the much more versatile cello of Lori Goldston.

“These shifts don't turn Earth into a new band, but they do provide a fresh context for Carlson's guitar. On the brilliantly winding "Descent to the Zenith", for instance, Goldston plays against him ever so gently, pushing against his pull, emphasizing the way his lines keep chasing their own tails. Moore's organ used to make Carlson's ideas sound bigger; here, by contrast, Goldston makes them sound smarter. On the album-closing title track, the quartet makes torpid circles for 20 minutes, the guitar, bass, and cello revolving separately around a melody. It's as mesmerizing as an early Earth marathon, just that much more intricate.”

Mik Quantius ist super: 

Mik Quantius is a German vocal artist and probably best known for his work with Embryo. It is most likely that he got stuck in an acid trip while being abducted by aliens. His vocal range is occasionally comparable to Captain Beefheart and Nick Cave, but don’t expect any other similarities. While performing he uses his voice and body as some kind of weird instrument combined with keyboard and percussion. He shows you the strange beauty and versatility one's voice can have.

THE PARADISE BANGKOK MOLAM INTERNATIONAL BAND

Thai music has never been more popular internationally. And we're not talking about the glossy, over-produced modern pop and rock, most of which travels no further than the Kingdom's shores, but the raw, soul-buzzing old stuff, namely folk music...

Band-description Exilent

Exilent is a D-Beat// Crust// Hardcorepunkband from Hannover// Germany which was formed in 2009. After a few changes in the lineup we started playing shows in 2010 and released our five song demo-cd “D-Beat Overkill Hangover“ in January 2011. One year and many shows later we recorded our first album, the “Born to Struggle“ LP, which we released by ourselves and with the help of Antikörper-Export. In summer 2012, we toured in Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia.

In reviews and by listeners, the sound often was compared to bands like Fleas'n Lice or Detestation. As written by every member of the band, the lyrics are characterized by a great variety of themes and treat political as well as personal issues. They all have in common a socio-critical attitude.

Due to dramatic events in 2012, several changes of members took place. Lonski is now playing Bass instead of Paul, who died last summer and had supported Exilent since the beginning. Also the male and female vocals on the LP now have been reduced to the latter one.

After a necessary break and with a new set,

Exilent (now) are: Ini Vocals

Nico Guitar, Backing-vocals

Lisa Guitar, Backing-vocals

Lonski Bass, Backing-vocals

Trecker Drums
