Oh no, Kim Gordon & Thurston Moore broke up

by admin on Oct 15, 2011 • No Comments

Most sexy bassist player Kim Gordon & Thurston Moore (both Sonic Youth) broke up and their marriage is over. While searching for a video I realized I loved almost every song of Sonic Youth. :( I still remember when I was 16 and on my first concert ever. In the first row and screaming like hell, leaving the first row after one song, because it was crazy for a little girl to stand there. All I wanted was to see them really close even if it was just for one song. Such a great band influencing me for over 20 years now. So sad that this era is over now.

Toro Y Moi

by admin on May 11, 2011 • No Comments

There are a lot of genres out there at the moment. Toro Y Moi would be put in the category Chillwave. For those interested in the term and what’s behind, I suggest you take a look at the chillwave wikipedia entry. I prefer to look at music a bit more simplistic, either I feel it or don’t. I just love the soundscapes and visual approach. Big up! And by the way… If you’re in Hamburg and like what you just heard, be sure you don’t miss his set tonight at Grüner Jäger.

Tyler the Creator

by admin on May 10, 2011 • No Comments

By now most of y’all have probably heard of Tyler the Creator, member of the Wolf-Gang. Nowadays most of the rap stuff is just lame and without a soul and voice, just a copy of some weird image. This stuff though brings back some punk rock and hardcore to the scene. Have a look for your self after the jump.

Jeff the Brotherhood – Hamburg

by admin on Jan 19, 2011 • No Comments

The idea of going to more concerts of bands that we don’t know totally works out. Yesterday “Jeff the Brotherhood” played at “Popmondial” and it was really nice to go there. In a great atmosphere the band from NASHVILLE, Tennessee played a great set. To me, it sounds a bit like “Pavement” who I totally like. So no wonder that this band surprised me. Go to their concerts if they are around. They are on tour in Europe, so catch them if you can. Dates and more pictures after the jump.

If you are just interessed in the music you need to close your eyes now and just listen Tiger by Maximum Baloon featuring Aku. Everyone else who wants to see Daisy Lowe in a really hot and breathtaking video, join this video for the Esquire Magazine. Crazy preview picture :)

Sunday Soundtrack

by admin on Jan 9, 2011 • No Comments

My part of the sunday soundtrack comes from Jupiter from Free the Robots, a music guy from Santa Ana, California. I really love the sound and visual approach in the video. If you do so too, be sure to check out the Los Angeles based Low End Theory podcast. Always some bangin’ beats for your ipod.

Sounds of Stockholm

by weareyouneak on Jan 5, 2011 • 1 Comment

Valerie Toumayan did a wonderful documentation about Stockholm for “I love Sweden“. It’s a great overview about the music scene in Sweden. Of course you see the girls of “Those dancing days” and “Peter Bjorn and John” who are a famous band in Sweden and produce for “Lykke Li“. Nice to see all those places. We lived pretty much around the corner where “Tobias Fröberg” is walking around and the parc where “Peter Moren” is playing was Nikitas favorite place. Schnief. This video brings back some really nice memories. Stockholm you are such a beautiful city with such a huge bunch of talented people. We miss you!

Mega! Mega! Hamburg

by weareyouneak on Dec 19, 2010 • No Comments

Sometimes it’s fun to go to concerts of bands that you don’t know like I did last week at the “Haus III & 70“. I was there for another reason but I heard the soundcheck and kind of liked the music. So I decided to stay until the concert started. The band was called “Mega! Mega!” and is coming from Berlin. They sing in german and are playing this typical energetic berlin punk sound. Note for my list for next year: more concerts from bands that I don’t know.

Ting Tings & American Apparel

by weareyouneak on Nov 26, 2010 • No Comments

I have no idea about what is going on in Hamburg. Events on every corner. Yesterday we first joined the Family and Friends Sale with drinks, music and fingerfood at “American Apparel“. And of course we where too late for the “Myspace Secret Show” of the “Ting Tings“. Five minutes before the show started we arrived…. The location was totally packed and we were just happy to get in. Why choose the easy way if you can have a exiting way to get in. ;) The show was quite nice and they played a lot of the new songs. I like that the new sound in general is full of 80′s sounds and a bit more grown up. More photos after the jump.

Kele Okereke – Pop Mondial

by weareyouneak on Nov 25, 2010 • No Comments

Nope, we are not turning our blog into a music related blog. ;) But Hamburg is known for a really good music scene and at the moment there are a lot of good concerts. Perhaps the team around “Pop Mondial” and “Death by Pop” got something to do with that. They influence the whole city with their good taste and golden finger for bookings. Last week “Theophilus London” this week “Kele Okereke” known from “Bloc Party” and on saturday emo rapper “Casper“. If you don’t wanna miss a good event, you should definitely bookmark their dates page.

I was here

by weareyouneak on Nov 24, 2010 • 6 Comments

If you are from Germany you might know this band. ;) I think I don’t need to introduce them. I’m really not a fan but still impressed about the path they walked. My first experience with them was round about 20 years ago on a small hiphop jam in Osnabrück. It was in the front of 50 people that hated them, because they weren’t “real hiphop”. (whatever that should be….) A few months later everything changed. The boys with the Triple 5 Soul jelly bag cap and the Cross Color Jackets became really famous. I’m pretty sure that nearly everyone can tell a story about the first experience with them. Whenever I hear the song about the seaside, I always have to think about my sister since we grew up close to the sea. She was sitting there and listing to a song of them, really loud. She listened to it over and over again which was totally annoying… Yesterday I liked it though because of my and the collective memory of the crowd. More photos after the jump.

Theophilus London – Hamburg

by weareyouneak on Nov 21, 2010 • 2 Comments

“Theophilus London” had a concert in Hamburg yesterday. We felt like grandmother and granddaddy because at the beginning we had a really funny place to sit. A table with two chairs in the middle of the room. It was in a nice location we hadn’t been to before, the legendary music club Indra. The concert itself was better then we expected. We both like the sound and we felt like being at Brooklyn Bowl for one hour. Thank you for a nice evening.
PS: I hate wordpress and flickr for reducing the picture qulity automatically! That totaly sucks. More photos after the jump.

Asos – I blame Coco

by weareyouneak on Oct 6, 2010 • 1 Comment

“I blame Coco” on the cover of the Asos Magazine. No wonder, she has a fxxxx great style! I love everything about her. She is Stings daughter, but I don’t know jet if that is a good or bad sign. ;) Perhaps good! Must be in her genes. A good sign is that “Robyn” did a song with her called “Caesar”. You can see the release concert of Cocos new album with Robyn in Stockholm at “Bambuser“. Video after the jump.

Rugged Man in Town

by weareyouneak on Feb 21, 2010 • 2 Comments

Last week we were at the Jedi Mind Tricks concert at Debaser Medis right around the corner of our “new” home on Södermalm. Luckily RA the Rugged Man was featured so it was well worth a visit. Since we were there mostly to see him perform, we didn’t get that many pics on the Jedi Minds, sorry! ;-) The place was really crowded and it was good to see some things are still alive, even this far up north. But please dear Swedes: Please learn how to handle the alcohol. Y’all drink one beer and get really nuts… Prost,

The beats

This darkness is killing me! But what does it make me do? Oh yeah, it makes me spend some time in front of my turntables doing the thing I love…spinning records! Here is a small caption of how it sounds… Check more organized mixes on my soundcloud-profile.

In my ears

by weareyouneak on Dec 2, 2009 • No Comments

I am always looking forward to the next episode of the Stones-Throw podcast that usually comes out once every two months. This one though is very special as it is part of the “Secondhand Sureshots project” where J-Rocc made a mixtape of as many reject vinyls (the ones in the one dollar bin that nobody wants…) as he could mange. Check the itunes-link here and enjoy!

Yesterday DJ Roc Raida of the world famous X-ecutioners passed away. He’s has been a great influence to me as a DJ and brought this whole turntablism/hip-hop-thing to the next level. Rest in peace, Roc!

Pavement Rumor

by weareyouneak on Sep 16, 2009 • No Comments

Please let this be true! Today, I read it everywhere. “Pavement” are planing a reunion! Jipie! I was a huge fan and I don’t know how often I heard “Crooked Rain“. I sold all my records as we moved to Stockholm, a few hundreds and just a few are left. The “Crooked Rain” is one of them. So there is only one band missing: Ian MacKaye may be you will read this, because you are googling from time to time your name ;), I’m waiting for the “Fugazi“. Here are some video links: “Pavement – Hair cut“, “Fugazi – Waiting room“

Music tipp: Bat for Lashes

Most of you know “Bat for Lashes” I think. If not, you have to check it out. I love the video of “What’s a Girl To Do“, great looking without spending 10000000. The best for dark cold nights. Love! A new single is out now and is called: sleep alone.

Popaganda Stockholm Day 1

by weareyouneak on Aug 29, 2009 • 4 Comments

We had a really nice start at the “Popaganda” yesterday, even though Philipp did not feel so good. Everyone is kind of sick in Stockholm right now, so we didn’t stay that long. The “Lykkle Li” show was really fantastic and “Steve Aoki” rocked the crowd from the first second of his set. I didn’t know that “Lykkle Li” is that famous in sweden. But we noticed a few funny things for “continental-europeans” ;)

Don’t get that wrong, cause we like to live here but we have to write it down ;)

Everything needs a line. No matter what, get a number and wait. That was the first thing I learned in sweden. Be patient. For a festival that means:
a really long line for the toilett, I mean a really long line, maybe about 150 meters.
For the beer there was also a line with a line barrier like at the airport. ;)
You can pay your beer with a creditcard
You have to show your ID to get in the beerarea. ;) Yeah, right! There is a

Hopefully the weather will be fine.

They are back in town

by weareyouneak on Jul 16, 2009 • 4 Comments

We always have a lot of events in front of our door. During summertime every weekend, sometimes even two events on one weekend. Some are really xxxxx, some are quiet nice. All of them are loud and make people sleeping on our steps. But there is one event I really love: “Turbojugendtage“. From all over the world people celebrate “Turbonegro“. I saw them a few times here in Hamburg and I also saw “Euroboys” live. I’m not wondering why I love the guys with the white heads on.
