Who needs a telly, we're on the air!

Hi folks,

these weeks are supercrazy exciting. We are feverishly looking forward to this weekend's INDIE POP DAYS!

And we are tremendously glad to be given the opportunity of talking about our festival with two radioshow-hosts! One of these two interviews already happened and has been recorded, but for the other one we are going to be live in the studio, so here's plenty of options for you listening to our slight babble talk and a couple of beautiful indiepop-tunes.

It was so so so nice of Kathy Twinem to have us for an interview and we are glad she dedicated a complete hour of air-time to our dear festival and the music we all are going to experience this weekend already. Kathy is host at byte.fm and you can listen to our interview this wednesday at 6 p.m. Tune in!

Furthermore we are going to be live in the flux fm-studio thursday 6.10 p.m. It's worth tuning in because there is a chance of winning two times two tickets for the Indie Pop Days-weekend! Flux fm also invited Woodpigeon for an interview. They are going to be in the studio Friday afternoon, in case you are interested! Sorry Gilberto have also been invited by the lovely Radio 1 and will be interviewed Friday evening at 7.30 pm. This is something for everyone who can't make it to the festival at all (poor you) or will only miss the Friday (still: poor you!). And this is the last chance to win tickets for the Indie Pop Days 2011! Radio 1 is giving out two times two tickets for the weekend, too.

You can listen to both radiostations online and in case you are located in Berlin or Stuttgart it's also possible to receive motor.fm with your ordinary kitchen-radio.

Alright,
you'll hear from us!

Well, but when should I be there?

Hi everyone,

it's done and we finally organised the timetable for our very dear Indie Pop Days Festival 2011. Stage-times may still shift a little, which is why we only announce which band is playing what day for now.

Friday (26th) doors at 7 p.m.

Der elegante Rest (GER)
Woodpigeon (CAN)
Television Keeps Us Apart (SWE)
Darren Hanlon (AUS)

Saturday (27th) doors at 2.30 p.m.
Sorry Gilberto (GER)
Young Wrists (ITA)
Nils Folke Valdemar (SWE)
Kristallin (GER)
Clay Hips (USA)
The Wave Pictures (UK)

Sunday (28th) doors at 2.30 p.m.
Sundae (ESP)
Our Blanket Skies (GER)
Amida (UK)
Pretend A Great Name (GER)
Soda Fountain Rag (NOR)
Wake The President (UK)

You might have recognized the two more changes there are.

Unfortunately Nikita from White Wishes moved back to Russia and can't get a visa for the time of our festival. This is just stupid and we are very unhappy, to say it in a nice way. Bureaucracy is a bitch, now we all know... Again... Their friends from Pretend A Great Name are going to fill White Wishes' slot and we are more than glad to have them.

Furthermore, we were sorry to hear that Electric Pop Group can't come due to health issues by one of the band members. It makes us sad to hear that not all of you are doing well. We hope for and wish all the best. Get well soon!!

So, now you know what band is going to play when, at least the date. As soon as we know the stage-time, we will pass that knowledge onto you!
See all of you sooo soon!!!

First Band Confirmations!

Hello everybody,

the time has come: we received the first confirmations and are very happy to welcome the following bands:
- Sorry Gilberto: listen to their music or read about the band's album Oh Memory. What we like about Sorry Gilberto is, how the lyrics silently but insistently enrole a sometimes clear, sometimes blurry picture.
- Je suis Animal: you might know their single 'hotel electrique' if you are around sometimes during our dj-sets. It is a song we really like to play! Check here if you do. We are glad they can make it!
- White Wishes are also joining our beautiful festival. It is this kind of music that makes us dance. We are looking forward to do so and hope you will all join us!

But what about you? We would love to read what you think about the bands, did you know them before? Do you like the music? Are there any other bands you think could possibly play at Indie Pop Days? Don't be shy, let us know! Just leave a comment below this post.

Thank you!
Laterz.
