Freitag, 24.04.2009 @ West Germany, Berlin: Action Beat, Clara Clara, Don Vito, Gtuk

Der Kenner der zeitgenössischen Musikszene hatte vor Monaten schon mal Herzrasen, als er von diesem Gig erfuhr, und die Kennerin hat sich das Datum mit rotem Edding aufs Handy-Display geschrieben … »die Packung«, wie man so schön sagt, am Freitag im West Germany: Action Beats 2 bis 4 Drums plus 7 Gitarren, Clara Claras hypnotisch-explosiver Indie, Don Vitos Symphonie aus allem was gut ist, und Gtuks pure Nintendo-Core since 1884!

LIVE:

CLARA CLARA

This band has an intense sound using the keyboard (Amelie Lambert) as the melodic digital force, chaotic /psychotic drums and frenetic electric bass (Charles Virot) relying heavily on distortion. Clara Clara plays hypnotic jams with occasional moments of sing along type phrasing. The sound is explosive, erupting with rhythms and very loud distortion. The crowd moved in a trance like motion of ecstasy until the last song, leaving a sweaty musty residue in the garage cocoon, to get some oxygen. (obsession colection / nyc show)

ACTION BEAT

Action Beatis an improvised noise/no-wave punk band from Bletchley (Milton Keynes), heavily inspired by early Sonic Youth, The EX, Glenn Branca and other avant guitar ensembles.

DON VITO

"In all seriousness, the band takes everything interesting, fast, complex and fist-pounding about rock and compresses it into a 50-second song." Stranded in Stereo Magazine

"It’s like getting a beating from a ball lightning." Upsetter magazine

GTUK

"Gtuk is Sebastian Hagedorn The music isn't comparable to any other shit we've heard. Check it out for yourself. The wonderful Wir Sind Glücklich is a masterpiece from the founder of unserious grindcore apocalypse!" http://www.fucksubtle.com/
