10 days to go...

until the first band kicks off the third edition of the Indie Pop Days. But before there will be some other amusements and warm up classics.

First, we have the annual Warm Up Party at King Kong Klub this Friday night (August 24th.).

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.
Of course we'll play the records of our festival darlings
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.
+ There you'll have the chance to buy some special deal weekender tickets for 45€ each! Take your chance!


Second thing not to miss before the Festival starts is the DIIV (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 here.

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.





Don't believe us?
Watch the video of  "Sometime" below. We love this band and the debut record "Oshin" is really one of the records of the year!

Less than two weeks to go: what do you need to know?

Hi indiepopkids!

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.

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!

All the best and see you oh so soon

I 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. Well ok, two weeks, but still pretty soon! ...for those of you who want to listen and dance to Northern Soul, Indie Pop, Baroque, Pop & Mod this Saturday we can recommend DIE ZWEI LUSTIGEN DREI + guests.




    
August 18th, from 22 Uhr at King Kong Klub


Oh my! That's tomorrow! Chop chop, up and on the dancefloor! See you in a minute

15 days left...

...so let's get prepared for the bands and shows with our annual soundcloud mixtape!

Enjoy!

Last Line-Up Update: Azure Blue (SWE)

Some of you have already read the sad news on Facebook, The Give it ups had to cancel their performance as one of the members cannot make it to the festival due to health issues in the family. We wish you all the best, get well soon!

But now let's look forward to the sunny side of this post and of our line-up, which is finally complete!

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 Azure Blue, a solo project of Swedish Tobias Isaksson, known to indie popsters for his former Labrador based bands Irene and Laurel Music.



On his first album "Rule of Thirds" which was released last year on the Sweden-based Hybris-Label and internationally on Matinee Records, 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".
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.
