M:SOUNDTRACK presents: THURSDAY the 9th of JULI @ 9 p.m. :::
GRAY BIRD (Bln) + SORRY GILBERTO (Bln) + COMBINE HARVESTER (CH) + Dj’s Melody Burn vs. Tanz Wurst

GRAY BIRD
when it's good, play it slower when it's slow, play it half as fast
Boris Hauf: Organ, Vocals * Rico Repotente: Guitar, Vocals * Derek Shirley: Bass * Steve Heather: Drums, Vocals :: LISTEN: http://hauf.klingt.org/graybird

SORRY GILBERTO like melodies you can hum along to by yourself, inbetween places, in the an afternoon. its all about the weather, big cities and small towns and especially about the people, running around, trying to get a grip on something (or maybe on each other) these songs are shortmovies. somebody has lost the storyboard in the rain, so you can concentrate on faces, sudden movements and the strange guy in the back. if you are into instruments, give a hand to the lazy guitars, the squeeky organs, the swinging basslines, the stoic beats of the rodeo and the little casio. there are voices too. singing about things you already know. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/sorrygilberto
COMBINEHARVESTER is Marlon Mc Neill. „I write all songs and usually play all instruments. I don‘t see my songs as rock songs in the traditional sense, more like music and sounds wrapped around little poems. Poems that may be as short as one line. One does not need many words to say what has to be said. One may see Combineharvester as a melting pot of all or some projects I‘m involved in, or the other way round: the source and inspiration to participate in all kinds of musical oddities.»

Colorado Wedding ist eine Art Salon, der Plattform für einen kulinarischen und kulturellen Austausch zwischen Weddingern und Nicht-Weddingern ermöglicht. (NOW Im Exil - Schokoladen - Alt Mitte) Dazu möchten wir Bewohner und künstlern/innen des Brunnenviertels, Ackerviertel und Alt- Mitte einladen, Gerichte aus ihrer Heimat zu kochen, die unsere Gäste zu einem Unkostenbeitrag von ca. 5,50 Euro genießen können. An diesen kulinarischen geselligen Abenden haben wir jedes Mal ein Land oder einen Kulturkreis als Schwerpunkt. Zu guter Küche möchten wir ein kulturelles Rahmenprogramm veranstalten.

LITTLE PICTURES sind ein Bedroom-Synth-Pop Duo aus Wellington, Neuseeland, bestehend aus Mark Turner und Johanna Freeman. Sie leben und studieren in einer kleinen Stadt am Meer, wo sie an ihren Synthies Tracks zusammenbasteln, bei denen sie mit ihrem neuseeländischen Akzent über eingestreute Hip-Hop-Beats singen. Saxophon, Glockenspiel, Sampler und live Power-Points sind allesamt Teil ihrer wunderbar schrägen, reizenden Welt. In Neuseeland gehören sie zum Lil' Chief Kollektiv, in dem sie mit anderen Künstlern wie The Ruby Suns, The Brunettes, Lawrence Arabia nicht nur ihre Ideen austauschen, sondern auch Essen und Wohnraum teilen. Auf Lil' Chief Records ist auch ihr Debütalbum "Owl + Owl" erschienen, mit dem sie schon auf Tour durch Neuseeland, Australien und die Blogosphäre waren. Ihr Cover Schrägstrich Remix von Weezer's Buddy Holly hat ihnen einiges Hitpotential beschert. Mit einem zugesagten Auftritt auf dem MIDI Festival 2009 in Toulon, Frankreich, können es Mark und Johanna nun kaum erwarten, im Sommer Europa und eine ganze Menge cooler Leute kennen zu lernen und auch uns mit ihren Shows zu beeindrucken.

UMIUMI aka Anna Berglund is a mixture of sweet electro songs and confusion. She, stationed in Stockholm makes all of her songs and recordings in a small apartment in Bagarmossen. Her music is descried such as lullabies for grownups. With a smile she writes mostly about sex, laughs and her lyrics seems to be in a sort of happy depression. Like a stop motion film, they describe what they see around them, a 22 year old girls life. chopped up but with a sensitivity. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/youmeband

STEFANA FRATILA was born in Sibiu, Romania and now records weird orchestral pop music in her bedroom with instruments such as the kalimba, ukulele, and auto-harp in Canada. In July, she will be in Europe with her best friend, Ellis Sam, to tour for their first time. They are very young! But, not so young you can't offer them sweet pieces of ripened mango! If you dangle it in front of their faces, they will be yours. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/stefanafratila

16:30 Susi Asado (FolkPop)
SUSIE ASADO is a poem by Gertrude Stein. This Susie Asado is Josepha Conrad. She is not a poem although she likes to write them. She also likes Gertrude Stein. So much is apparent. You might know her from Crazy for Jane. You might know her from the park. You might have seen her in the movie Berlin Song. Josepha writes songs and she will sing them for you. Happily. Her songs are about geographic challenges about borders and border patrol about falling in love with border patrol and with countries and that is more than one country. She likes places such as Mexico although she has never been. She likes the word. She likes Olympia. For the O and the grandeur of it. She likes Berlin. She lives there. Her hometowns are Frankfurt am Main and Chicago and she also suffers from Chief Niwot's Curse having laid her eyes on the Flatirons of the Rocky Mountains. Yes, she is superstitious. And she drinks a lot of tea LISTEN: www.myspace.com/susieasado

17:30 Scheining (ExperimentalPop)
SCHEINING is the striking live appearance of two totally different musicians SCHEINING songs are Strange Hymns sung in simple words, that don’t leave you when the evening is over...even if you ask them to. SCHEINING is more than the sum of their parts – A third force That sparkles between Joe's virtuoso acoustic guitar and Jovanka’s dry and distorted guitar riffs, her minimal live electronic and his warm and bassy baritone guitar - while Jovanka's voice, shines out through everything like liquid gold. SCHEINING hits you where you don't expect it. They get you under the radar. SCHEINING is hot. Almost unrevealed. SCHEINING is to be continued. LISTEN: www.myspace.com/scheiningmusic

M:Soundtrack + A Month of Sundays present:





20:30 Peer (LoFiSongwriter)
PEER ist sänger der berliner band le mobilé, moderator von undertube, gründungsmitglied der zeitschrift soma sowie des showkollektivs kritkon, manchmal buchhändler bei mogwa, manchmal texter und manchmal katalysator. Die Spex schrieb: "Und weil Peer klar ist, wie wichtig der letzte Song auf einem Mixtape (oder einer Mix-CD, meinetwegen) ist, singt er zu Gitarre oder Klavier immer wieder Sätze, die man Menschen, die man mag, mit auf den Weg geben möchte. Um ihnen was Wichtiges zu sagen, sie nachdenklich lachen zu lassen oder ihnen so die Idee unterzugubeln, dass es ein Homerecording-Revival und ein Ende der emotionalen Verkümmerung geben muss." LISTEN: www.myspace.com/peeripherie
21:30 Anois (Electronica) Lars Kranholdt and Anne Baier are Anois. Two voices that maybe remind you of your own lost heart or of your traces in the cold white snow, when it's winter outside. It looks simple, but it really takes some time to understand. They have been joined by Daniel Kranholdt. The music of Anois is complex though this few instruments because of these fragile elements, which sound also timid, but built this strong and great atmosphere, where you can hide if the days need to be muted. LISTEN: http://www.myspace.com/anois

22:30 The Innits (IndiPop) THE INNITS songs oscillate between scarce and opulent instrumentation, thus mirroring the impulsive and wayward lyrics. Here and there, clarinets, saxophones and cellos make an apparition, just to give way to psychedelic sixties harmonies or to the evocation of a dance band in glitter suits. The result are 13 timeless tracks, which –despite said variety– sound as if they had a common origin. Eclecticism is something else. If you were to name the red thread of the album, that would have to be its nostalgic folk atmosphere. Continuously, a soft spot for the simple, clearly structured song shines through: no frills and not a note too many. Mek Obaam –singer, songwriter, drummer and frontman of THE INNITS– writes lyrics finding their source in the vast lands between everyday life and apocalypse. His view is an external one and could not be further away from being self-righteous. He is, however, self-aware to a very high degree – aware in particular of the things he does not want to be or have or the things that he is not capable of zbs. (‘What I’m not’).
