“Strange Weekend” is Porcelain Raft‘s debut record, but if you count Mauro Remiddi’s released songs and EPs until 2012, it can easily also be his 150-ish launch. Tomorrow, all of you living in Bucharest or just passing by Club Control, you will have the chance to enjoy Mauro Remiddi’s somehow androgynous voice and dream differently, on each note of his praised album. Before that, you might as well sneak into his world, by reading the below conversation we had the opportunity to have, due to the Mighty Internet. Continuare…
In vremuri de haos socio-cultural si de o vaga lentoare a cuvantului in muzica independenta romaneasca, Norzeatic se remarca discret si vehement. Prin incredere in forta cuvantului si o poetizare a ceea ce etichetele spun ca ar fi hip-hop. Insa, pentru a va convinge ca inregimentarile subestimeaza, recomand sa mergeti sa vedeti ceea ce are de exprimat live Caravana PM-AM, vinerea aceasta in Club Control. Parol, ca o sa dansati gandind. Sau invers. Continuare…
She has been challenging the audience since 70s and you either love her in a ‘coup de foudre’ style, either despise her passionately. There are no grey tones in an artistic relationship with her. Nevertheless, she is kindly offering you the opportunity to choose from an unconventional menu: spoken words, visuals, movies, visceral songs, historical collaborations with Nick Cave, Einstürzende Neubauten, Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, a caustic diary (‘Paradoxia: A Predator’s Diary’). If you missed her concert in 2010, don’t repeat the mistake in 2012 and book yourself a place in a front row, on 23rd of February, in Bucharest. And yes, you’re right, this was just a brief intro for an ‘on-the-road-in-between-gigs’ online conversation, I had the chance to have with Lydia Lunch. Continuare…

The Greek duo (producer RΠЯ and vocalist Sarah P), also known as Keep Shelly in Athens, are experiencing an overnight Internet success, which translates in playing at Coachella 2012, a live session at KEXP, rewarding reviews from Pitchfork & Guardian, two EPs – In Love With Dusk and Our Own Dream – being on heavy rotation in the English- speaking blogosphere . This is just to mention some key moments from their ascending musical path in the last (almost) two years. Unlike other emergent bands, they’re keeping a low profile in their home country.

Vineri, 11 martie, in Club Control, va avea loc concertul trupei iLikeTrains (UK), in deschiderea carora isi vor face aparitia discret si totusi vehement, baietii de la Traum (RO). Pentru ca publicul inca nu stie mai mult decat refrenul piesei “Uglier Than Patti Smith” ne-am gandit sa stam de vorba cu Mihai (voce, bass), Dedi (tobe), ca sa ne (re)cunoastem, sa ne imprietenim si sa nu mai fie nimeni timid la intalnirea de vineri. In episodul de astazi, despre trenuri, declinari die&der&das, Patti Smith, printre aburii unei cafenele online, ii avem in prim-plan pe aproape toti Traumii. GiGi Catrina a absentat motivat, caci da, pana si punkerii au gripa iarna.
OneDay: Tot poporul interesat de ceea ce exhaustiv se cheama “scena underground romaneasca” este in tema ca ati scos un EP si ca nu v-a preocupat sa aveti concerte. Acum, e fix invers: veti sustine un concert si apoi sariti cu albumul. De unde si pana cand rasturnarea de situatie? Continuare…
In caz ca va intrebati cum mai e viata prin Bergen, o varianta ar fi sa veniti sambata, 29 ianuarie, in Club Control, la concertul celor de la Casiokids. Veti putea sa le ascultati piesele colorat-zglobii, sa dansati, sa ciuliti urechile dupa expresii in norvegiana, iar cand veti lua o pauza, o sa aveti ocazia sa ii intrebati direct pe cei 5 Casiokids, picanterii din (si despre) Bergen. Pana atunci, in episodul de astazi, o scurta conversatie online cu Ketil, despre black metal, Bucuresti, muzici si faze.

Chiar daca tabloidul (online sau print) bate viata, in episodul de astazi, avem doar un amical online, despre AB4, Brian Molko, Mono Jacks si jocuri. Un scurmetraj din cuvinte, pe fuga, intre multe drumuri legate de ultimiile detalii ale concertului aniversar “AB4 – 10 ani”. Da, evenimentul de maine, din The Ark. Continuare…
