Bunny Suit gets everyone hopping at the Grüner Salon last Saturday
Article published on Wed Apr 17, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Bunny suit is not a new band, it's a new name. Bunny Suit is rather a reformed and re-thought band.
Originally called Quixote, the band was born on a slowly sinking houseboat in central London, hardened through countless tours through the dive bars of a Britain in the meltdown of the financial disaster of '08. When fighting for its survival in trend-obsessed, big-business London caused the band to implode, the individual members went their separate ways, with Cameron Laing, head rabbit, washing up in Berlin after a period of searching unsuccessfully for absinth, literature and his soul in the back alleys of Paris.Berlin was immediately kind to Cameron – meeting a member of the German band Klee while busking, and being invited to sing back-up on their album – and so he was quick in getting in touch with his old bandmates and getting them to join him.

Turboweekend - the name seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy
Article published on Mon Apr 15, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Considering the amount of energy that was put into Friday’s show, the name of the band seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If this was your way of kicking off the weekend ‘turbo’ is definitely a fitting description.
The Danish (now) quartet took to the stage at Postbahnhof to a constantly increasing audience. And as the night progressed so did the on-stage dancing, bouncing, and howling. The band’s characteristic synth-rock sound echoed in the big venue, which has a stripped-down, nightclub aesthetic complimentary to the vibe of the boys in the band. >>follow the article

indieberlin talks to Cameron Laing from Bunny Suit - live in Grüner Salon this Saturday
Article published on Fri Apr 12, 2013 by indieberlin.de
We talked to Cameron Laing from Bunny Suit (ex-Quixote) in his rehearsal room last week. The man has plenty to say, from living in a sinking houseboat owned by an errant MI6 agent to trying to not get killed in Paris. Part I is here, Part II we'll post next week.
Bunny Suit play in Grüner Salon this SAturday, 13th April, with support from Rooftop Runners and guests. A great live band, they're definitely worth checking out.

Concert review - Ken Stringfellow (REM, Posies, Minus 5) live at Bi Nuu
Article published on Thu Apr 11, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Usually writing a review of a gig is pretty easy. Most bands are reasonably straightforward to describe and concerts too. I've just got back from an evening with Ken Stringfellow and I'm completely confused as to what to write.Ken Stringfellow is hugely, stunningly talented. He's very weird. He's extremely funny. He's one of the most naked performers I've met. He's a very warm and loving human being. He seems nervous but he stands two feet from a member of the audience and sings the most open and aching song you can imagine looking straight into their face, without blinking. While turned away from the audience and tuning his guitar he mutters as if to himself about being an emotionally fragile person who's going through a nervous breakdown – and has been, he says, for some time now. And then says, It's great – you should try it. And giggles.
But what songs. What an amazing voice.

Brilliant new song and video The Way by Bunny Suit (ex-Quixote) - who play in Grüner Salon on the 13th - and we have tickets to win!
Article published on Mon Apr 8, 2013 by indieberlin.de
With a new band name, a slightly adjusted line-up and a whole choir of Gregorian monks hiding somewhere in the shadows, Bunny Suit's new song The Way and video blew me away when I heard and saw it, and that's something that happens extremely rarely. Bunny Suit is possibly the best band playing in Berlin at the moment and they're live in Grüner Salon on the 13th - this Saturday - and we've got some tickets to win...write to win@indieberlin.de and say something clever, go on.

Rue Royale played last sunday at Privatclub - we were there and will let you know all about it
Article published on Mon Apr 8, 2013 by indieberlin.de
So Rue Royale played last Sunday night at “Privatclub”, supported by Jonas David and Josh Beech. The charismatic Josh Beech and his drummer started the show and played a really charming combination of melancholic verses and surprisingly hard beats and guitar riffs. Wow! They sounded great but couldn’t get the crowd moving, some were even chatting during the show and all the others seemed to be sort of tired. Well, maybe it was really just due to the fact that it was Sunday evening… Anyway, while the two were still playing, Josh jumped down the stage and left the scene. Quite an original leaving, though we were actually quite surprised that the show was already over.>>follow the article
