LEONIDEN from kiel/germany

because I mentioned this band in my last post and I really enjoyed seeing them live, Im gonna tell you about them. first thing: i have to admit, when i first listened to them, i found them abit too "poppy". second: yes they are, but they have really nice songs, and since last weekend Im kind of addicted to some of their songs. I guess their fans are pretty young, but who cares right.

they started as a "school band" but since some years they are touring alot (alot!) and they are a pretty good live band, i have to say. they have alot of musical influences (from michael jackson to mars volta etc) and after seeing some youtube videos about them, I can say, they are really serious about their music. they are pretty diy and they care alot about their live performance. I find them to be a really charismatic band and their upcoming shows are almost sold out. I guess that means something, right? btw my favorite song is called 1990.

PABST from berlin

so one of the first bands Id like to tell you about is PABST from berlin. Ive seen them some years ago in a place called urban spree in berlin performing as support for BEACH SLANG. I really love their sound and their energy on stage. I guess what I like about them is that they sound pretty oldschool, some might say grungy/postpunky (even some stoner rock) but I dont really care about these labels so much. besides these are really nice guys and they really (really!) deserve to be popular! the singer Erik has a really unique voice and - for what he told me - he has a hardcore/diy/screamo background which I totally get. we like some similar bands and he is very easy to talk to.

last weekend they performed in luzern/switzerland as support for LEONIDEN, a german indiepop/danceband from Kiel which are also really good, specially their live show. anyway PABST first album is called Chlorine and I just love it. in the next weeks they play some shows with KADAVAR, a rock band from berlin I didnt actually know.
