13-02-15 *Café Karoshi*: Sexismus

files/images/friese/13-02-15 Karoshi.jpg

Sexismus – Was ist das eigentlich?


Schon wieder hört ihr in der Schule „Schwuchtel“ oder „Schlampe“ und wundert euch, warum schon wieder alle von starken Männern und schönschreibenden Frauen reden? Warum werden von Männern andere Sachen erwartet als von Frauen und was ist überhaupt dran an der Einteilung in „Männer“ und „Frauen“? Und was können wir sexistischen Verhalten in der Schule, am Arbeitsplatz und im Alltag entgegensetzen?

Warum Café Karoshi?

Das Wort Karōshi kommt aus Japan, es bedeutet ungefähr „Tod durch Überarbeiten“ und ist eine verbreitete Todesursache in der Arbeitswelt des modernen Japan. Karōshi steht für uns stellvertretend für diese Gesellschaft, in der unsere Interessen nichts zählen, in der die Menschen im Extremfall arbeiten müssen, bis sie tot umfallen.

Mit unserem Cafe wollen wir einen Freiraum gegen die alltäglichen Zumutungen schaffen, die wir in unserem Alltag, an Schule, Betrieb, Uni oder sonstwo erleben. Außer einer netten Atmosphäre und bezahlbaren Getränken wollen wir politische Filme gucken, Vorträge anbieten und über die Themen auch gemeinsam diskutieren.
Denn das Cafe Karoshi soll nicht dazu dienen, nach einem netten Wochenende die Scheiße um uns herum wieder besser zu ertragen zu können. Sondern es soll Perspektiven zeigen, sich gemeinsam gegen Kapitalismus, Umweltzerstörung, Nazis, Sexisten und was uns sonst das Leben vermiest, zu wehren.

°^SISSI/Chinesische Wäscherei^° präsentieren: FABULOUS DIAMONDS (Melbourne)+ RUN DUST (Hannover Legends)

SISSI/Chinesische Wäscherei Kollaboration: Bitte geht nicht nach Berlin! Ohne euch kriegen die hier nichts hin.:

Fabulous Diamonds are Melbourne duo Nisa Venerosa and Jarrod Zlatic. Forming mid last decade, they play a brand of spacious, sensual art rock, full of vintage electronics, detached vocals and pounding, tom-heavy drums.

Their first self-titled album emerged in 2008, released in the US on revived and revered label Siltbreeze. Soon after the band took off on a month long American tour with Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit. The album made it into the Wire’s best albums of the year, and got raves on t...he likes of Pitchfork and The Fader.

Fabulous Diamonds toured Europe in 2009 at the invitation of Belgium’s Kraak Festival, and also took in the UK, France, Sweden, Switzerland and Portugal.

RUN DUST is a new project headed by Luke Calzonetti formerly of NYC prog-bludgeoners CHILD ABUSE. Suicide-esque lines collide with primitive acid drone loops to create something that sounds like a meeting between Steven Poindexter, Terry Riley and David Behrman in a microwave.

°^SISSI/Chinesische Wäscherei^° präsentieren: ARLISS NANCY:

Their latest release, Simple Machines, is a Middle-America, heartland-on-your-sleeve, no frills cautionary tale about the damaging affects of their way of living and a subtle apology to everyone around them watching it unfold.
Combining Thin Lizzy style arpeggio guitar frills, gravel-gargling vocals and a penchant for late nights and regret – the band, comprised of singer/guitarist Cory Call, singer/bassist Kyle “GB” Oppold, guitarist Jason Larson, keyboardist Chris Love and drummer Dominic Buttice –- shakes off sub-genre tags to create anthems to be shouted along with or listened to with quiet and introspective intent.
Simple Machines is the band’s second full-length after 2009′s Dance to Forget. In addition, the band has released two Eps since forming in 2007; 2008′s Rust and Truckstop Roses in 2010.
Each release shows progression and maturity from the previous one – a result that Call says is no accident.
“As far as this album goes it was approached completely different,” he says. “ Not only in the sense of recording but in composition too. Prior to this album Arliss Nancy was based off of a singer/songwriter archetype – that being I would write a song and we would play it. Simple Machines brought more to the table.”
Oppold mimics Call’s sentiment going on to say that the maturation in sound has to do with the band’s decision to strip away previous distinctions and genres.
“The album definitely differs from all the other records,” he says “Our first record was very country heavy, and Truckstop Roses was very alt-country-punk influenced. We tried to keep this new record just rock and roll. I feel like this is the first album that really shows who we are.”
Oppold goes on to say that this is an exciting record for him as it is the first time he contributed songs and sang them. This is a development Call does not have a problem with and cites the Oppold penned song “40s” as his favorite on the album.
“I love that song,” he says. “GB really stepped up and wrote one of the best songs I have ever heard. Something about the way he brings it all back to ‘throwing it all away and drinking 40s with your friends’ – it makes me think of the road – where you only really have your friends and the times you park the van and just get shitty because there is nothing better to do.”
Oppold’s voice is not the only new one that Arliss Nancy fans will hear on Simple Machines. The album is littered with guest vocalists and, right out of the gate on opening track, “The Crease,” two members of the Suburban Home family lend their talents; Micah Schnabel of Two Cow Garage and Lizzie Huffman.
Cory describes the experience of having his fellow label mates on his album as “an honor.” As Oppold explains, the appearances didn’t stop there and, if it was up to him, they would have gotten more.
“I’ve always loved guest appearances,” he says. “ Other than Micah, Shane (Sweeney) and Lizzie Huffman there is Jon Snodgrass (Drag the River), Colin Shane of Spanish Gamble and BJ Buttice of Sour Boy Bitter Girl. This scene is really close here. If I had it my way I’d have all my friends on every record!”
Part of the Arliss Nancy boys keeping their scene tight and family orientated was the decision to sign with Suburban Home Records, a decision that Call said was easy to make.
“Virgil (Dickerson) has been a driving force behind us for a few years now,” Call says. “When he offered us the deal there was no question. We are honored to be part of his family.  I have been borderline obsessed with the bands he has put out for years. Shit, I wanted to be In a Suburban Home band since I was 14.”
Simple Machines and Arliss Nancy fit seamlessly alongside the other Suburban Home Artists, carrying the banner for family, integrity and good ol’ fashioned rock and roll.
