song of the week nr. 9: howler - this one's different

hey guys, 

it's time for another song of the week (yes i know the last song was already more

than a month ago...). it was really hard to decide which song i want to show u 

because i've been on so many amazing concerts of so many good bands who

are famous or just newcomer. i could show u thousand good bands but first i have

to start with one band. so i decided to start with howler and their song called 

"this one's differnt"

i saw the band one month ago at the garage and it was an very good concert. the 

band talked with the audience and tried to entertain us and the music was amazing

the band sounds live as good as on cd. the only weird thing was, that i felt old

during i watched them play...i mean the boys are just 19 years old and so successful. 

even the singer looks like a teenager and then he has such a deep voice. strange but 

i really like them and they make amazing music. the most i love the guitar riffs in their

songs. well now something to their "history": 

howler are an indie rock band from minneapolis. the band members are jordan gatesmith,

brent mayes, ian nygaard, max petrek and france camp (real name jay simonson). the band

was formed in 2010 and they released their first ep "this one's different" (song of the week ;D)

on february 14, 2011. on their release show jon garret watched them and he though the band

has potential so he sent their ep to the famous london-based record label rough trade records

(without the knowledge of the band) and they liked them and so howler singed their record

deal in summer 2011. they supported the vaccines in summer and their name got more and

more famous. nme named howler teir #3 best new band of 2011. their debut album released

in january 2012. currently they are on tour and yeah let's see what their future brings. 

hope u like the song (:

song of the week nr. 8: elija - out of use

the song of this week is from elija with "out uf use". i know it's not the kind of

music i usually listen to but i think it's a really catchy song and i want to support elija. 

 you should know, i was 8 years in school with him and he makes music since he was a

 young boy. i think he is very talented and a "real" musician - i mean he produces his music 
on his own, plays some instruments,... he won some band contests in the last years and he

 was very successful with his last single called "free" (?!). if you want to know more about

him or listen to some other songs visit his homepage (german) and of course don't forget to
 download "out of use". it's available on itunes, amazon and so on.

song of the week nr. 7: freddy tempest mcconnel - helpless

this week i have a different song of the week. i mean the song itself is

not different but the musician. he is dead. well let's start from the beginning:

the song of this week is called "helpless" and it's from the young singer and

songwriter called freddy tempest mcconnel. 

freddy was born and grown up in norfolk. he was a very intelligent guy and a

 talented musician. he wrote beautiful songs with very good lyrics and i love his voice. he

 always looked up to pete(r) doherty and was a big fan of the libertines (i think you can 

hear it a bit in his music...). last year he also played some successful gigs in london

and he tried to make his music become more popular and i think he had everything

to become a big name in the music scene. well everything sounds good until now but:

freddy had a big problem. he was addicted to drugs. he tried some rehabs but unfortunately 

the addiction was stronger. he died in may 2011 of a heroin overdose at the age of 18. 
i feel sorry for his family and hope he is happy wherever he is now. and to you guys:
don't take drugs! they aren't worth to risk your life and hurt your loved ones.

but as you know this is the song of the week and i don't want to focus on the tragedy of his

 life. we should concentrate on his talent and his music. i know there are some not perfect 
tones but all in all i really like this song and i think he had a beautiful voice. and why shouldn't 
i show you somebody who isn't that famous. with the song of the week i always try to show
 you a musician or a song i can't stop listen to and i think it's worth to share. 

well i hope you like the song. i know the lyric is sad but yeah i like it. if you want to hear
 two more songs visit freddy's myspace page and if you want to know more about him you
 can google and there are also some (music) videos on youtube.

song of the week nr. 6: boy - boris

this week the song of the week is "boris" from a pop band duo called boy. 

the band was formed in 2007 by valeska steiner (singer) and sonja glass. in 2011

their first album called "mutual friends" was released. if you want to know more

about them or listen to some other songs visit their homepage .

two weeks ago i was at their concert and it was really nice. you should know usually

i am not a big fan of woman who make music. i know i am a woman too but don't know 

why but i prefer music of male musicians. but boy (haha the name is perfect) changed

my mind. i love the voice of valeska steiner and the music they make is so beautiful. 

the stage backdrop was typical for woman. there wasn't that much light so it was kind

of a romantic atmosphere (what was not good for us photographer..^^) and there were

big bulbs which rotational blinked and a big light ball. hope you like the band too.
_________________________________________________________________________________
das lied dieser woche ist "boris" von dem pop band duo namens boy. die band wurde 2007 von valeska steiner 
(sängerin) und sonja glass gegründet. 2011 erschien ihr erstes album namens "mutual friends" welches von philipp
 steinke produziert wurde und große erfolge verzeichnet. wenn ihr mehr über die band wissen wollt besucht am
 besten ihre homepage .


vor zwei wochen war ich auf ihrem konzert und es war wirklich super. ihr müsst wissen eigentlich bin ich nicht so
 der große fan von musikerinnen. ja ich weiß ich bin selbst eine frau aber keine ahnung woran es liegt aber
 ist eben so. boy haben mich jedoch vom gegenteil überzeugt (haha ihr name ist perfekt). ich liebe die stimme
 von valeska steiner und die musik die sie machen ist wirklich wunderschön. auch die bühnenkulisse war typisch
 für frauen. sie haben wirklich an details gedacht. das licht war durchgehend eher gedämpft was eine mehr 
oder weniger romantische athmosphäre erzeugte (und schlecht für uns fotografen war..^^) und auf der bühne 
waren rießen glühbirnen die abwechselnd passend zur musik leuchteten und auch noch eine riiießige leuchtkugel
 die ab und an leuchtete. ich hoffe euch gefällt die band.

song of the week nr. 3: tribes - we were children

the song of this week is from tribes with 

"we were children". tribes are a

four-piece indie rock band from london exactly 

camden. (maybe you know that i love camden :D) 

the band members johnny lloyd, dan white, miguel 

demelo and jim cratchley formed the band in 2010 

so you can see its more or less a young band. 

"we were children" was released in april 2011 as 

their first EP. the music video for this song was 

filmed in camden town with the band performing 

on a rooftop with onlookers and fans on the street.

unfortunately i wasn't there. i really love this video

because i think its a great idea and you can see camden

and i love camden and spent there a lot of time when 

i am in london. (also in one week so if you want to 

meet feel free to ask.) and there are so many 

beautiful and stylish people in the video and i love

the song. i think it has a special melodie i could 

listen to for hours. 

in summer they played at some of the biggest british

festivals i.e. reading, leeds and some smaller festivals

like bestival and on a festival in tokyo. they played 

as support of the kooks and kaiser chiefs and soon they

play together with metronomy, azealia banks and two 

door cinema club at the nme awards 2012 tour. and 

they are also nominated for "best new band" at the

nme awards - let's go and vote for them

but there also some other nomintations of some other

great bands (i.e. the vaccines) so vote vote vote (:

well again to the band, they released two weeks 

ago their first album called "baby" and its really

amazing. "sappho" the first single from their album

was made available for download on there homepage

and there is still a free download available but i'm

not sure if its still this song but try it out: 

free download

song of the week nr.2: stereoface - distress

the song of this week is from stereoface with distress.

stereoface are a band from my hometown and i know them since

many years. first i saw them live i think 6 years ago at a band 

contest. today they released their new album called "face it".

you can download it on itunes . i really like their songs and i am 
glad that they are from my hometown (: hope you like their music.

_________________________________________________________

das dieswöchige lied der woche ist von stereoface mit distress.

stereoface sind eine band aus meiner heimatstadt und ich kenne

sie seit einigen jahren. das erste mal live sah ich sie vor ca. 6 

jahren bei einem bandcontest (den sie übrigens gewannen) und

ich fand sie eigentlich immer schon gut aber das neue album hat

mich voll und ganz überzeugt. dieses ist übrigens seit heute über

itunes  erhältlich. ja mehr hab ich auch schon nicht mehr über sie zu 
sagen.am besten lest ihr euch ihre persönliche beschreibung ihres

neuen albums an und genies das video. ich hoffe es gefällt euch (:

"Stereoface – FACE IT

Mit ihrem langersehnten zweiten Album „Face It“ zeigen sich Stereoface kompromissloser 

und kontrastreicher denn je. Was leise ward wird noch fragiler. Lautes umso energetischer! 

Dabei zeigt die Grazer Band deutlich mehr als zwei Gesichter und spannt den Bogen über 

Genres – von psychedelischem Art Rock bis hin zu Punk: Kontraste als Stilmittel! So wurde 

auch bei den Aufnahmesessions mit zwei verschiedenen Drummern diesmal mehr 

experimentiert. Von Clive Martin (David Byrne, The Cure uvm.) produziert, versprechen 

Stereoface 2012 mit „Face It“ die Konfrontation! Nichts im Leben ist planbar oder gar auf 

ewig... „When will you be there to face it?"

auftritt die herzen vieler österreicherInnen. und auch mich 

überzeugten sie - immerhin liebe ich indie musik.
