i just returned from a trip to vienna and sadly can’t attend I AM KLOOT in graz tonight because of lack of transportation back to klagenfurt :(
but I have managed to see Kettcar on friday, who were just about as awesome as I had expected them to be. unfortunately, I didn’t like the supporting act Kreisky at all. great concert from Kettcar, just about perfect.
I was there with Markus from graz who said that I should check out Tomte as well the following day because they are “better than Kettcar”.
they are not. at least in my oppinion. I enjoyed Kettcar way more. and it was quite a journey to get a Tomte ticket in the end because the show was sold out. luckily, there’s last.fm :)
what was surprising was that I ended up enjoying the supporting act Novillero a lot. so after the concert was over I purchased both Novillero cds and I’m listening to them right now. good choice, they are pretty cool. also I found out that they are from Winnipeg, Canada. does that ring a bell? my favourite band, The Weakerthans, is also from Winnipeg. how awesome.
take5 will be a new category here and is meant to be “take a 5 minute break and listen to the following recommendation”. take5 should not only mean that you take 5 minutes to listen or watch to the recommendation, but it also shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to write that post. except for this first one, of course :) i’ll add more recommendations from time to time. i’m glad i can just link to existing content over the net. there’s just so much good music i want to share with you :)
i’ll open up with Coheed and Cambria, who I already saw live this year and they were amazing.
Coheed and Cambria is an Americanrockband formed in New York.[1] The band has been active since 1995, although they did not go by the name Coheed and Cambria until 2001, when Nate Kelley left the band. Before this they were known as Shabűtie.
And here, the real take 5 part: listen to it and decide if you like it. if you like it, give them another shot with other videos linked below. if not, you’ve only wasted 5 minutes that you wouldn’t have spent any better otherwise.
opening up with:
Coheed and Cambria - Devil in Jersey City
i would have opened with “A Favor House Atlantic”, but embedding on the other videos has been disabled.
the business cards (made by the great artist andi from innsbruck) where the only thing remotely accurate to american psycho. and i can’t even say i was dressed up as dexter, because the shirt and tie would be too much.
some pics from Westerland/Sylt, didn’t have much time and didn’t really see the light of day. business-trip, only nightshooting. windy. cold. but it’s nice there, maybe i’ll get the chance to be there again, hopefully in summer.
off to berlin, then sylt, then salzburg… all within 4 days.. that’s going to be fucking exhausting. have to get up at 4 in the morning tomorrow. but i managed to squeze my tripod into my suitcase and my camera in my backpack, maybe i have time for some late nightshots in sylt… that would be the only time that’s not fully planned. wish me luck btw :)
