What a first night! Some of us are still dancing to the fabulous Set of Sleater Timmy & Abso LuLou. Some of us are back on the internet.<br />
First we'd like to thank our lovely Bands for superduper great shows: Fulhäst, The Spook School, Be Forest & Azure Blue and of course the Lofi-DJs for the terrific music inbetween the concerts.<br />
And thanks to our beautiful and charming audience too!<br />
<br />
But there is one thing we have to tell you, before we can go to sleep:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On Saturday afternoon you are invited to come to the beergarden <a href="http://republikfrankundfrei.com/" target="_blank">Republik Frank und Frei</a> for the Pop Quiz. Of course it's free! Just join us there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Before the saturdays concerts, at 5 to 6 pm, Anders is going to challenge your popcultural knowledge at one of the toughest battles ever (almost and maybe). Let's find out who scores the most points in this tough game! Will there be a reward? Fame and honor for the winner/winning team, maybe some gifts too? Well, we will find out Saturday in the afternoon, so be there or be square.</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, you already heard about the awesome bands you are going to see at this years Indie Pop Days Festival in Berlin. But what about the DJs? They are hopefully going to be the ones keeping you up and dancing all night long. So here we go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Friday night we have invited Sleater Timmy and Abso LuLou to play their favorite indie pop'n' dance-records for you.The Lo-Fi club Djs are going to play before and between concerts. They are experts in awesome lo-fi music and love to see you on the dancefloor or enjoy a nice song just hanging around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What else? <a href="http://www.bigpinkcake.co.uk/">Big Pink Cake</a> are going to play their finest tunes to get you through the time between gigs. Do you know how it all started? Well, the story goes something like this: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Matthew and Heather had looked at the impact that it had had on their
lives... Matthew was pretty convinced that it had shaped the 90s and beyond and
it needed to be celebrated. So they celebrate it they did... as a one off and then
the ball kept rolling. First, in London then moving to Bristol. Big Pink Cake
has now put on many many gigs, indie pop parties, weekenders and more recently
the 'Lawrence of Belgravia' film. It also became a record label concentrating on
the indie pop aesthetic that is so true to the bone of the Big Pink Cake idea
and celebration of all things indie pop.</span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Matthew from Big Pink Cake is going to get you through the night after the last concert. Ian Cowen from The Sunny Street/ Pocketbooks will join him. But who is going to be the lucky DJ-Team for the day? No one else but the famous Sonic Pop Allnighter DJ-Team. If you ever went out for one of their dj-gigs filled with adorable hits from french film-noir soundtracks or sugarsweet tweesingles or even this long time forgotten britpopsong you secretly longed for hearing again, maybe it will become true this saturday, who knows. It's always different and always nice with the guys from Sonic Pop Allnighter!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What else? Natalie Stardust prepared a beautiful indie-souly sundayset for you to listen to before and between the bands. Afterwards she might join you on the dancefloor, our all second home, for a swing to the tunes of Tandberg and Anders. Well but who knows what it means when they announce they bring their favourite records from their home. Do they want to play rarities, classics and musical pearls from Norway?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, that's about it! We are looking forward to the DJ-sets as much as we look forward to the bands and artists performing on stage. It's only one day left before the party begins and there is not much more to say than: YAAAY! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Love to see you so very soon!!</div>

But before there will be some other amusements and warm up classics.<br />
<br />

First, we have the annual Warm Up Party at King Kong Klub this Friday night (August 24th.).<br />
<br />
We'll bring tons of awesome records and tunes for singing and dancing along with. You just have to bring yourself and your friends and maybe some good dancing shoes.<br />
Of course we'll play the records of our festival darlings<br />
as well. Azure Blue, Cats on Fire, The Proctors, The Spook School etc. have so many danceable hits, it'll be hard to choose for us! Well, let's play them all!
The entry is free as usual, but 2 Euro with your first drink.
<br />
+ There you'll have the chance to buy some special deal weekender tickets for 45€ each! Take your chance!<br />
<br />

<br />
Second thing not to miss before the Festival starts is the <a href="http://capturedtracks.com/artists/diiv-2/" target="_blank">DIIV</a> (US, Beach Fossils, Captured Tracks) concert at Monarch (August 28th.) This venue is as cosy as Marie Antoinette and it'll be sold out soon - so you better get your tickets <a href="http://www.tixforgigs.com/site/Pages/Shop/ShowEvent.aspx?ID=5689" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We'll spin some of our favourite tunes before the show to get you in the right mood, and later the band will get us all in the mood for the festival weekend, that's for sure.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't believe us?<br />
Watch the video of "Sometime" below. We love this band and the debut record "Oshin" is really one of the records of the year!<br />

<br />
As you can imagine we are busy like a swarm of bees, putting things into place, thinking of a trillion thinks we may not forget before the party starts and still try to catch a sunbeam or two.<br />
<br />
But: there is still time for some loving advice, so in case it's your first trip to Berlin and you can't figure out where to get a vegan sandwich in the middle of the night or if you want to know where you can get a decent breakfast that will help you through the day or maybe just through this tiny little hangover from all this tipsy-making music we prepared for you, shout it out! Also if it's not food related (I must be a bit hungry at the moment), let us know and we will try to hook you up with some of the high-value information-stuff!<br />
<br />
All the best and see you oh so soonKarinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081170577499470201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670306776188475470.post-54515957127896151632012-08-17T13:37:00.000-07:002012-08-17T13:37:30.033-07:00I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy We are so very excited and can't believe Indie Pop Days will start in like, a minute.

We wish you all the best, get well soon!<br />
<br />
But now let's look forward to the sunny side of this post and of our line-up, which is finally complete!<br />
<br />
The first night of Indie Pop Days 2012 will see yet another act who is
playing in Germany for the first time. Our headliner on Friday will be
<b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/azureblueswe" target="_blank">Azure Blue</a></b>, a solo project of Swedish Tobias Isaksson, known to
indie popsters for his former<a href="http://www.labrador.se/" target="_blank"> Labrador</a> based bands <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ireneswe" target="_blank">Irene</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laurelmusicswe" target="_blank">Laurel Music</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
On his first
album "Rule of Thirds" which was released last year on the
Sweden-based <a href="http://hybr.is/" target="_blank">Hybris</a>-Label and internationally on <a href="http://matineerecordings.com/" target="_blank">Matinee Records</a>, he
is leaving the grand Indiepop sound of his Labrador releases behind
to enter a world of airy synthpop, much to the enjoyment of everyone
who likes analogue synthesizers and drum-machines. Once you hear one
of his tunes, be sure to have it stuck in your head - proof is a click
away, "dreamy eyes" and "little confusions", both singles from
"Rule of Thirds".<br />
Fans of New Order, Air France, The Go-Betweens, The Cure, Sarah and/or
current favourites from Sweden like The Radio Dept. have something to
look forward to.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No announcements for quite a while but today we can give you one more band who will come over to Berlin for the festival. We invited a London based band who never played in Germany before.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fireworks started out as Matthew singing some songs down the phone to people and then people trying to convince him that he should start a band... so he did! A dandelion radio session, gigs in London and playing indietracks last year has started the ball rolling. A single out this Summer on Big Pink Cake Records will offer a hazy noise up fuzz of Summer Summeryness.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fireworks are Matthew (Big Pink Cake), Emma (Pocketbooks), Carys (The Give It Ups), and Isabel (Twee As Fuck). Harmonies, noise, fuzz, tambourines, catchy tunes... is kind of the order of the day and most definitely POP.</div>

For all music lovers who are in England at the moment here is an event you can't afford to miss: 6.-8. July the Indietracks Festival at the Midland Railway - Butterley in Derbyshire has -as always- a brillant line-up. Around 50 artists will play across four stages: the outdoor stage, the indoor stage, the church and on steam trains!. This time the legendary American Slumberland label curates the outer stage and you have the chance to see bands like Veronica Falls, Allo Darlin', Girls Names or Sea Lions. Classic bands like The Jasmine Minks, The June Brides, The Monochrome Set and The Vaselines will perform at this fantastic festival as well. There's more info on this magic indiepop-gathering after the klick:<br />

Shortly after the release of their brilliant debut "Over The Bluffs" (on Shelflife/New Romantic For The World) there has been a lot of enthusiasm on the internet <a href="http://coast-is-clear.blogspot.de/2012/01/holiday-crowd-liegt-manchester-jetzt-in.html">(here)</a> about these indie pop newcomers from Toronto, Canada. When you listen to their songs for the first time you are immediately reminded of the music of The Smiths: In fantastic tunes like "Never Speak Of It Again" and "While She Waits" the charismatic voice of singer Imran and jangly guitars on reverb recall the atmosphere of Morrissey's former band.</div>

Imran Haniff and Colin Bowers founded the band after high school. They wrote some songs but never played live. After ten years, "the longest break a band has ever had" (Bowers), Imran and Colin decided to play together again. They were joined by Alex Roberts and David Barnes, who now play bass and drums. While the band played the first live gigs in small local clubs in 2011, they not long ago supported Paul Weller in Toronto.<br />
<br />
The Holiday Crowd will play for the first time ever in Europe: at Indie Pop Days! We are really looking forward to hearing some of our favourite songs of the last months played live!<br />

The video "While She Waits" was filmed by Street Folk Sessions in Toronto's historic Allan Gardens Park. It features a new acoustic arrangement of this smashing song.sloophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582230173053037738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670306776188475470.post-18962813725533560742012-06-14T08:20:00.001-07:002012-06-14T08:24:25.001-07:00Be Forest<div style="text-align: justify;">
After last year's surprise act, Young Wrist, we are very happy to
present another brilliant Italian dreampop band. <a href="http://beforest.bandcamp.com/">Be Forest</a> is a young
trio from the adriatic town of Pesaro. Their debut album "Cold" on the Italian label "We Were Never Being Boring" is a beautiful example of
how the Post-Punk passion for reverb-filled guitar, minimalistic but
hypnotic drumming and echoing female voices is still alive.</div>

Inspired by bands like My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Joy Division they still have enough ideas of their own to make us want to dive into their ocean of sound.
