The old game: good news vs bad news

Hi you,

as we all know, weather is an idiot and never does what it's supposed to . If you don't believe us, please feel free to contact any farmer you like and be sure to get the same news over and over again in pretty colorful expressions.

Our advantage is we don't have much business with farming, which is why we can go inside and say: yeah, screw you, weather in general. And that is what we are going to do this weekend.

Since the weatherforecast can not exactly decide what we are going to have this weekend, we'll make sure everyone's having a good time and pretty much skip the outdoor-concert-part for safety's sake.

This means, on the sad face side, no sunny concerts, no blinking into the bright sun, but on the happy face side it means you can leave your wellies at home and have more space for extraordinary merch stuff, if you like, no walking around on muddy grounds and no danger of getting the sharp end of an  umbrella in your eye while standing in a crowd and getting wet from rain.

We can live with that and it's not that we will never let you out of the Wasserturm Kreuzberg. There will still be music outside, brought to you by supergreat DJs or remix-artists, we are going to put some food outside in a tent and even though we let the bands play inside, we still pray for some sunlight because if the sun shines there is a surprise waiting for you outside on Sunday.

So, what do you say? We hope we didn't destroy your welly-outfit-plans and you can find something nice to wear. We are sure you will!

See you soo soon.

It is on again...

Hello everyone!

It has been a while since the last entry at this very fair blog of ours, but don't think we were only hanging around on couches all day! Quite the opposite, we can say, as you were able to see on our facebook-page.

But now we have decided to revive this blog since not every single person is or wants to be on facebook. Here we go: there will officially be a second Indie Pop Days Festival in Berlin 2011! Mark the dates August 26th to 28th in your calendars, because you are hopefully going to be busy listening to some fine music with us on that specific weekend!

Last year we moved a bit from location to location (the adorable multilayerladen on friday, saturday we were at the wasserturm, just like sunday), this will not happen again, since we decided to stay at the beautiful Wasserturm in Kreuzberg for the whole weekend. Also we were able to find a real stage for the outdoor-gigs, so rain won't be a problem again.
(for those who unhappily missed it last year, we were forced to reschedule a couple of stage-times due to unfriendly weather-conditions because we couldn't let the people play outside. It was a bummer, but in the end everything worked out fine. Still, this year we are prepared for almost everything!)

We have a whole bunch of great ideas for the second Indie Pop Days Festival and are already excited about having you around again for a great weekend. But we have to wait. Until then we will keep busy booking great bands for concerts, djing on several occasions or doing other nice stuff.

We are going to tell you about everything here, so why don't you check in from time to time and keep yourself up to date? There are some interesting things going on, we promise!

Now have a sunny saturday!
