voodoo music from hell, from the lower east Side, from berlin

when i dance in the kitchen and drum the pans and clap my hands and scream «ayy!» and «oy!» it has one simple reason: i listen to music. good music. hot music. hot like hell. it’s like voodoo. i can’t control myself — i have to move, to stomp, to dance. listen to the beats, the voice, the words; right like now: Gogol Bordello from the Lower East Side, NY — russian-gypsy-dancehall-punk-dub-rock’n’roll:

BUT the real reason why i write right now is: Lota Red is playing on saturday. having a gig, a party, a big wild stampede. rockabilly at its best: from hell but hotter. melt my mind and let me swing’n’dance.

from hell to spring in berlin

The yearly live gig by Lota Red at the Schleusenkrug
this speaks for itself:

«[…]Rock-A-Billy-Punk-Country-Folk. It was like a chainreaction. Bang. Boom. Bam. To make a long story short: Best first concert in 2007 for me. […]»

And I’m sure this time it rocks, too!

Saturday – 5th April 2008

last night I was flashed again

now I can add another group of musicians I do NOT want to miss a gig: Orientation. The 2006 album “9 In Istanbul 8 In Berlin” at iTMS(+) was just added to my archive.
thanks goes to advocado! he asked me if I want to make some photos. I did.1030 images. and I decided to show some of them here at native berlin. 3 sets w/ a total of 60. presented as a slide show w/ controls and thumbs. enjoy it!
