Lonski and Classen in Festsaal Kreuzberg
Article published on Fri May 3, 2013 by indieberlin.de
We're very excited to announce the gig of gigs this coming Monday: Lonski and Classen play support to Veronica Falls and Mazes in Festsaal Kreuzberg. Lonski & Classen have long been favourites of indieberlin. They represent what we see as all that's good in the Berlin independent/underground scene. They create great music that's 100% individual. They made the decision to play music together a long time ago and have stayed true to their vision and to their ideals through years of small concerts and not much money. They've never relied on hype for their audience but started with a fanbase of mutual friends which has spread and spread through word of mouth and not very much else. They've just kept doing what they do, as well as they could do it, always putting on good shows which are remarkable not only for their musical brilliance but also for their atmosphere, which has always been warm, good-hearted and inclusive.>>follow the article
"Go to a Burlesque Night," they said. So I went. Review - Pinkys Peepshow on Wednesday
Article published on Thu May 2, 2013 by indieberlin.de
I spent the night wide-eyed near the front of the stage, oscillating
between genuine amusement and anthropological curiosity at the sheer
bizarreness of the spectacle. Indeed, when a woman in a fluffy chicken
suit stripped down to her pasties (a.k.a nipple coverings), I could feel
the primitive part of my brain pulsate in confusion.>>follow the article

Show review // Autre Ne Veut
Article published on Sat Apr 27, 2013 by Eden
Brooklyn-based artist Arthur Ashin a.k.a Autre Ne Veut graced us with his presence on Monday at Naherholung Sternchen. Some would say his music is an acquired taste; melancholic, therapeutic, proverbial emotional outpouring.. whatever you want to call it. It's music that makes you feel as if he's singing directly to you, yet each track seems to have an unclear, intense hidden-meaning, making it more intriguing with each listen...>>follow the article
Show review // Nü Sensae
Article published on Fri Apr 26, 2013 by Eden
Another addition to the long list of amazing bands coming out of Canada lately; Vancouver's own Nü Sensae recently stopped by West Germany to play a packed show and didn't disappoint. Entering the derelict-looking venue, I noticed the place had already pulled in a pretty full crowd. This wasn't that surprising due to all the great press the band has gotten in the past year. SPIN magazine named them as one of their 'Top Five New Artists of 2012'>>follow the article

indieberlin saw and talked to Liquid Transmitter @ In The Silo - watch our video reportage on it
Article published on Thu Apr 25, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Last weekend the Mindpirates celebrated the beginning of spring with a beautiful collaboration of a multitude of artists. Jamie Drouin aka Liquid Transmitter was one of the artists of the open formats In The Silo. And his performance fitted perfectly in this wonderful berlinesque venue that used to be a real silo. Liquid Transmitter's electro music completely reflected the blank concrete of abstract shapes (crop funnels) as well as the soft and spare light of candles. The sound and image of the whole performance was underlined by visual art reflections of visual artist Juan Hurle. The audience was of diverse age and was transported into an atmosphere of space, emotion and wonder. Enjoy our video reportage of it.

Ben Kaplan in Privatclub last week
Article published on Wed Apr 24, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Ben Caplan is a smoking, whisky-drinking, balladeering, honey-voiced raconteur with a very very big beard and a personality to match. It's a pretty good test of a performer's mettle if he can take a crowd with him with nothing but his voice and a guitar. He played quite simple guitar - nothing flashy - and sometimes jumped onto the piano. But his voice slipped from a quiet whisper to a huge angry sound and back again with ease. His songs are varied and intelligent. There are singalong choruses aplenty. And one thing that's special: Ben Caplan is really fucking funny. >>follow the article

Article published on Wed Apr 24, 2013 by indieberlin.de
In the second of indieberlin's video reportage series we feature up and coming Danish rock/folk/pop dude Jesper Madsen aka Echo Me - his debut album is out on Für Records and is seriously good; he's also toured the world with an acoustic guitar and a backpack - playing on every local BalconyTV he could find - which meant Prague, New York, Texas...the man's taken the trail, paid his dues, and now he's in Berlin with a helluva band. Check out our little chat live with him with snippets of the concert inbetween.
