Indieberlin talks to: TEEN
Article published on Tue Apr 2, 2013 by Eden
Brooklyn-based band, TEEN, have a musical ability unlike many other artists. Other than being individually talented, the four band members (three are sisters), seem to merge together to form a instrumental-laden superpower. Heavy rhythm, expressive vocals and a hint of pyschedelics create a near to perfect sound. Recently the girls came to Berlin to play at the Comet Club, and I dropped by to have a chat with the lead singer, Teeny, and drummer/vocalist, Katherine.

Boho Dancer "Furry Skin"
indieberlin speaks with Boho Dancer - Read our interview and win their Vinyl "Furry Skin"
Article published on Thu Mar 28, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Boho dancers perform on good friday at Privatclub in Kreuzberg. Their sound is Scandinavian, the music fragile yet powerful, their vibes enormous and their hearts seem to be very big. So hear what they have to say, win their Vinyl "Furry skin" by writing something furry to win@indieberlin.de - and go see their concert!
ib: Through Nordlicht Klub we have lately met a couple of very good scandinavian Bands. Do you think there is such a thing as scandinvian sound(s)? There is definitely a nordic sound that you hear a lot through bands from Scandinavia. The sound is usually very melancholic and intimate - especially in the kind of folk we our selves play.

Show review // The Frowning Clouds
Article published on Wed Mar 27, 2013 by Eden
It would be an understatement to say that 60's rock-inspired group, The Frowning Clouds, have a sound to be envious of. Smoothly written lyrics are combined with swirling melodies and fuzzy guitar to evoke a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Rebellious garage-pop isn't a new concept, but they definitely do it well. >>follow the article
Jesse Cole
indieberlin im Interview mit Jesse Cole
Article published on Wed Mar 27, 2013 by indieberlin.de
Der Berliner Musiker Jesse Cole hat mit uns über Rock'n'Roll, die Inspiration der Musik und über seinen Weg aus der Dunkelheit zurück ins helle Bühnenlicht gesprochen.
ib: Wie würdest Du jemandem Deine Musik beschreiben, der noch kein Stück von Dir gehört hat? Nun ich würde sagen: schließe deine Augen und höre genau auf den Text und die Melody, dann wirst du all meinen Schmerz, meine Freude, meine Niederschläge und Erfolge, mein Leben und mich kennen lernen. Von der Stilrichtung her würde ich von den Meisten in die Richtung Country eingeordnet werden. Aber es ist eben nicht nur Country, sondern auch Folk, Rock, Blues und Rock`n`Roll und auch irische Einschläge.>>follow the article

indieberlin review: Miss Laura Bean kicks it up live at Bassy Club
Article published on Sat Mar 23, 2013 by indieberlin.de
So I got myself down to Bassy club on the border of Prenzlauer Berg to follow up a gig invitation from Laura Bean, performing with her new country/bluegrass project The Vagabonds. I'm a huge fan of that sort of music, spending far too many hours watching it on youtube, so the prospect of seeing it live in the flesh had me very excited indeed.>>follow the article
