GURR show in zurich (5.11.2019)

I've already mentioned GURR three years ago on this blog after seeing them live as support for SHEER MAG in a diy punk place in berlin. since that the duo played alot of shows and festivals, they also did a US tour. in april they released their new ep "she says" with 7 tracks. their first album "in my head" got really good reviews in the music press and the band was kind of surprised by the success.



I am very happy to see them in zurich soon. they will play in a venue called Bogen F, which books alot of really nice bands. the first song of the new ep is really dreamy and chilled out. I really love that they sing in english, but they also have songs in german like "zu spät" which is track 5. on their website they talk about why they didn't do a second album yet and what the ep title means to them:

It's about building up the courage to say what you think. It's about female leadership. It's about tears instead of raising your voice or fist. It's about doing what feels right. It's about wanting to be heard. It's about wanting to be believed. It's about wanting to be listened to. It's about what she says, really.

music scene in switzerland


hey, ich lebe noch. das is gut oder? ich lebe seit 2017 in zürich und arbeite hier bei einer (grösseren) zeitung. und, ohgott, ich bin schon 34 jahre alt. fuck. naja, man sagt ja immer, das alter spielt keine rolle, aber ich geh hart auf die 40 zu und das is irgendwie seltsam.

ich geh immer noch gerne auf konzerte, auch wenn die konzertszene in zürich bzw. der schweiz recht übersichtlich is... im vergleich zu deutschland of course. trotzdem findet sich immer mal wieder ne gute band oder ne gute show, zu der ich gehe.

ich habe diesen blog sehr vernachlässigt, aber möchte gerne weiter über bands schreiben, die ich mag, die eventuell noch nich sehr gross sind, aber zumindest aufmerksamkeit verdient haben - meiner meinung nach.

ich bevorzuge eigentlich, auf diesem blog in englisch zu schreiben, darum werde ich das ab jetzt auch wieder tun (einfach, weil ich mir erhoffe, dass auch der eine oder andere englischsprachige musikfan seinen weg hier her findet). oh, und ich werde wahrscheinlich auch mal über andere dinge abseits von musik schreiben, die ich gut finde.

short english version:

i am living in zurich (switzerland) since 2017 and i work for a newspaper. im 34 now but i still like to see bands, shows and try to discover the swiss music scene. i want to try to write more about music for this blog now, even though i know not many people gonna read it probably... its just what i like to do. and i will do it in english because i hope for some english speaking people here to read this bs. id also like to write about other things than just music here.

so, lets get this on!
