M:SOUNDTRACK presents THANKSGIVING on THURSDAY 26.11.2009 @ 9 p.m. in Schokoladen with SCHWERVON! (NYC/olivejuice) + CLARA LUIZA from Wien is not coming because of sudden iillness please keep updated about the opening band.!
__________________________________________________________________
SCHWERVON! Is a two piece rock band. Nan and Matt have been a couple longer than they have been a band. Their relationship influences their art. Their art influences their relationship. They are two birds of a different feather. You might say one flies and one rolls and they meet in the middle with two halves of the worm. They are a collaboration. Is one Sonny and one Cher? Is one a pop lover and one a noise lover? Why do they both love food so much? Why are they obsessed with their cat Gummo?
They started making up songs soon after they met amongst the fertile Indie Rock gutters of New York City, with Nan pounding the drums (learning to play, she figured, would happen as she went along - which it did) and Matt reawakening his high school electric guitar rockability. Their music is a celebration of imperfect love through jagged rock minimalism. Sometimes they write lyrics on the train. Sometimes they steal lines from eavesdropping on other people's conversations. They were DIY long before it was a marketing strategy, mixing and recording the bulk of their music in their cramped little apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They call it Olive Juice Music.

About me: I Book Bands..I was, I Am and Will always be a Filmmaker, I Am a Mother..and I Am an Open Book.. most of the time.. you dont have to look in my bag, my medicine cabinet, my desk, well, sometimes that says alot! I used to like pina colada's when i was 10...I love jukeboxes. I've been known to sit for hours watching films, alone..reading books cover to cover in one sitting....listening and singing to music..loudly alone.. I like video games which all you have to do is shoot (more functions im lost) like space invaders and tetris. If its your birthday I can make your present in under 20 minutes..watch out! the glue may still be wet...and I may have to improvise with the letters..if I like you I will cook for you, that is if you enjoy food..and if I love you micasa sucasa...autumn is my favorite season..unless its summer...my mother says im easily impressed...but i just find desire in simple pleasures..silly jokes, spontaneous actions, truth, love, watching you perform, happy when you call me out of the blue, when you cook something yummy just for me, when you create everything inside your head and then in moments of inspiration you put it down on paper in sound in moving picture, etc..When you can giggle with me over silly stuff and be impressed with these things at my side.
Who I'd like to meet: N.Cave at a dinner party for W.Wenders given by H.Miller hosted by A.Nin while serenaded by N.Simone ** You who make me laugh think blush sing rock dance happy sad lust feel - i wish i could put more of you in the top Amigo list but no space, schade! So only those who I can meet for Coffee and the Bands i book!..here you find: Me, the letter M, Familie, Amigos, Diana on a tea cup, Blue skies + Elvis Leon'Perales = love
The soundtrack is squared M's Friend Space (Top 40)
Dafür würde so mancher seine gesamten Habseligkeiten veräussern. Die Indie-Legende, unsere Lieblingsschotten hautnah, zum anfassen im Bang Bang Club! Bevor in wenigen Wochen der " The Life Pursuit"-Nachfolger in den Läden stehen wird, kommen die Glasgower zu einem exklusiven DJ-Gig nach Berlin und zeigen schon an den Plattentellern, wo die musikalische Reise hingeht. Unterstützt wird von den Motor.de Djs und den King Kong Kicks Djs Christian Vorbau & Dominik Grötz. Für alle die, keine Karte für die Mumford & Sons Show kürzlich im Magnet ergattern konnten, stellen wir vor der DJ-Runde noch Langhorne Slim (USA) auf die Bühne. Kommt vorbei, es wird euer Schaden nicht sein.
Mittwoch den 18. Nov 2009 um 20:30 Uhr in Transit (Schlesischestr. 35a / Kreuzberg)!!! Duo Ofrin
Für jene, die die energiegeladene Sängerin mit der feuerroten Mähne und der atemberaubenden Stimme bereits live erlebt haben, wird es ein ungewohntes Bild sein. Ofri Brin hinter dem Keyboard? Normalerweise mit ihrer Band Ofrin in 6er-Besetzung, haben sie und ihr Partner KD vor kurzem ein "Acoustronic" Set ihrer Songs arrangiert. Neben Liedern aus dem aktuellen Album "On Shore Remain", für das Eddie Stevens (Moloko, Zero 7, Roisin Murphy) an den Reglern saß, spielen die beiden auch neue Variationen ihres Erstwerks "Rust & Velvet".Klassisches Singer Songwriting und Pop treffen auf dezente Electronics - das ganze in gewohnt perfekter Harmonie. Mehr zu Ofrin unter www.ofrin.com.

Weird-Folk-Genius und größenwahnsinniger Komponistenschelm.

M:SOUNDTRACK presents ♥: THURSDAY 12.11.2009 @ 9 p.m. in Schokoladen Mitte::ALEX GIDEON (NY/Portland) + Shelly Short (US) + Dj Melody Burn
ALEX GIDEON is a One Man Gospel-Circus, cartoon necessary schizo-rap New York Hillbilly,aged and innocent provocateur, Alexis Gideon has emerged with the craziest music currently available, which is only to say it is the most familiar. Listen to him if you like it when a stranger composes movies in song about your secret life. From joy to mourning and back again and none of it harder or easier as it has to be. LISTEN:: www.myspace.com/alexisgideon
SHELLY SHORT is a native and current resident of Portland, Oregon, songwriter and singer Shelley Short grew up among characters and artists in a wood-heated home stocked with books, records, and well-cooked meals. As Short recounts: “It was like growing up in a time machine; in some ways we lived like it was 1896, chopping wood, growing our own food, wearing eclectic clothes in a Victorian home and singing our own songs. After three lovely years in Chicago, Short has hit the road of late, opening for likes of M. Ward and Loudon Wainright III, Nate Query of The Decemberists, as well as friends Whispertown 2000, Tom Brosseau, Alexis Gideon and Laura Gibson. LISTEN:: http://www.myspace.com/shelleyshort

M:SOUNDTRACK presents at SCHOKOLADEN: THURSDAY 22. Oktober @ 9 p.m. :: LIKE A STUNTMAN (HH) + BJOERN KLEINHENZ (Swe) + KID IKARUS (Bln) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: LIKE A STUNTMAN : "Their Music is equal parts the Notwist and Animal Collective, pulsing with rhythmic energy and bursting with overlapping vocals" - Pitchfork Check out their new album "Original Bedouin Culture" tonight! LISTEN: www.myspace.com/likesatuntmanmusic
BJOERN KLEINHENZ lives on a desert island. He sits in a very small room recording very small songs. He stomps his big foot in the chalky Faro ground and listens carefully. He claims nowadays to be a mountain. Bjoern is also a young man with big thoughts with just as beautiful words, he could have been born somewhere across the ocean in the middle of a desert, but i think any where this gentleman lands and hangs his hat he will make his own island and find a way to create great things. LISTEN:: www.myspace.com/bjornkleinhenz
KID IKARUS_with punkrock in his heart, love of experiments in the head and a precocious diletantism in the fingertips Kid Ikarus makes... living room beats with landscape bleeps on sound storage media ending in an entertaining lo-fi mess with charasmatic live shows. In one moment songstructures hailing from a posthard core background meet one-man-show-poppycock, and the next instrumental jewels meet electronic puppet theater. It's all about the mixture of handicrafts, driving beats, ticklish synth melodies and a dash of coincidence. Needless to say Mister Ikarus is a storyteller with a monster truck humor and dancestep to boot.
Ganz Berlin träumt von der Liebe,
denn dort ist sie ja zuhaus.
Ganz Berlin träumt dieses Märchen,
wenn es wahr wird.
Ganz Berlin grüßt dann das Pärchen,
das ein Paar wird.
Ganz Berlin singt immer wieder,
immer wieder nur vom Glück.
