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!!!

Who else will be there?

Hello everyone!

We hope you had some nice leisure-time during Easter holiday and enjoyed tasty, addictable chocolate in silly shapes + great company. We did, in case you are curious! And we are going to repeat the latter at our very own festival in August. Want proof? Look who is going to join us!


Let's start with a kind and awesome band from Scotland. We are talking about Wake The President, a fantastic twee/cs86-band, very inspired by the old stories only a town like Glasgow knows (wanna look at some nice pictures? there!). Erik and Bjorn Sandberg, the founding members, aren't just witty storytellers with a sense for melody and that soft spot in your heart, they are also the heart and the brain of Say Dirty Records. Last year they released their album 'You can't change that boy' and we look forward to seeing them on our stage performing for you.

Watch this video:


Do you like what you hear/see? Are you familiar with these songs?

There is another band who positively "rsvp'ed" to our invitation and we are more than happy to have them around. White Wishes' members are originally from St. Petersburg, but live in Berlin for now. Their melancholic popsongs make us want to hug someone and then: dance! So that is going to be a quiet, shy, extraordinarily great blast to have them around for our festival.

What do you think? At which time of the day would you like to see White Wishes? On a, hopefully, sunny afternoon or in the cozy light of the dawning night? Let us know!

Anything missing? Well, there are still a lot of bands coming up, don't worry. Last but not least for today we proudly announce that The Electric Pop Group are joining us for the Indie Pop Days. The Band is touring around Europe at the moment, as you can see on their facebook-page, and it is great they can make it to Berlin for this specific indie-pop-weekend. The Electric Pop Group is a Gothenburg-based band, signed by Matinée Recordings since last year.
Do you think you could like it, when you look at this lose collection of pictures?
We also found a live-video with crappy sound but well, what can you do!



What do you hear, what do you say?
We say, let's go outside, grab a bite and have a drink in the evening sun!
Work will still be there tomorrow.

Thank you for reading and we hope to see you around soon!
