Blood Red Shoes, a hair in the video for 'Lost Kids'

And what I thought happened, some of those media / bloggers now more indie (and hipster!) Have harshly attacked by Blood Red Shoes make an album - "In Time To Voices" - the closer to the trail mainstream alternative rock to the underground. Yet we could not help praising this last great album (review / recommendation here) and therefore we welcome the recent release of the video for 'Lost Kids' second single of this new phase of the British band.

This video clip was directed by Sebastien Dehesdin and shows the performance of this duo bareback so electric. While Steven Ansell causing earthquakes with a frenetic drumming, Laura-Mary Carter plays with the shadows to show their sensuality always clear. This way of combining elements is Blood Red Shoes. No sweeteners or artifice. So they are.

We recall that Blood Red Shoes will be touring Europe between May and July. This extensive tour will take them to play for multiple cities in Germany, Francis, Belgium and the UK. Check all the dates of their European Tour through the official Facebook page of BRS.

The sheer muscle of The Gaslight Anthem '45 '

Each time is less for that The Gaslight Anthem return to dispense with another superb LP production. The task force's Brian Fallon with Brendan O'Brien has done a bit of begging but at last we can confirm that on 24 July is the day that will go on sale "Handwritten", the highly anticipated successor as of long-playing record of that voluptuous and enganchadizo album "American Slang" (2010).

The expectations for this compact are very high. It is obvious that this would happen: "American Slang" meant the final step to fame of a group that seems to be faced to be the next "next big thing" in the international arena rock. His teloneos at the next European tour Soundgarden reveal these done, and also the sound of a new item - '45 '- that gives a blow on the table to claim the great form of these rock-blooded.

New residential area instead of beer.

The Paulaner brewery wants to relocate to the suburbs, instead, a new residential area is in its place. Here is a great opportunity for city offers repair: If the new Paulaner area is planned in isolation. The Paulaner brewery will move in about five years after their production Langwied. The 85,000 square meter area at the Reger, Guelph and Ohlmüllerstrasse in Au takes over and develop the Bavarian construction. She wants to build there in 2018 primarily apartments, use one-third funded, additional land for commercial and daycare facilities, and construct a parking garage.
Paulaner 250 employees remain on current plans, listed in the so-called "Zacherl construction" at the Ohlmüllerstrasse. The neighborhood development is now used in industry and are completely sealed area planted. In addition to a large public green space and private garden areas are provided. The area of ​​distribution, the number of homes and the architectural design will clarify the Bavarian houses in 2012 in cooperation with the city an urban design competition. To the logistics area of ​​the Guelph street, expressed the company and Paulaner Bavarian house-building has not.
The Munich Forum fears of urban and landscape planning competition Paulaner investors would systematically fall short if the competition is not even the extraordinary location on the edge of the slope, the highly divisive railway line and the teeth are taken into account with the environment. Four examples:
First The village street to the long term could be extended to the edge of the slope, if permitted by the existing buildings on the high street - this option should be kept clear.
Second On the border of warehouse space to the new buildings Welfenstraße ("Guelph courts"), a bicycle and pedestrian paths are created by the Guelph Street in the north-south direction as an extension of Senftlstraße, the over might in a web the web are weitergeführt the Eastern Cemetery.
Third The path to the footbridge over the road at Nockherberg could be pretty straight forward through the site to Welfenstra-SSE.
4th It should be provided opportunities to reside on the premises. For urbanity is not what pretend buildings, but what people experience in and between buildings.
At a site visit on 20 March gave the forum working group an overview of the existing zoning Paulaner site. The so-called Zacherlbau, the outside looks like some more proper, is in truth a war-ruined only by a makeshift roof. The interior wall is no more, there are no false ceilings. Only the vaults beneath the ground survived the bombing. Since there is no longer built brewhouse, these vaults are certainly receive.
Behind the old facade of a new building will have to come, here to collect the Paulaner management. It is also the world's first industrial monument scheunentorgroße ice machine on Auer mill to posterity. Exciting, the question remains how to deal with the townscape tower of the former malthouse in the competition. Also from the upper Paulaner terrain between high-and Regerstraße will disappear all commercial buildings, where known, is a new residential area is planned. The unsealing of the almost completely sealed industrial areas of the city is doing well, as well as the opening of the previous Brauereienklave to the surrounding neighborhoods.

Mad Season plan to release a new album later this year

Temple Of The Dog was not the only supergroup that included prominent figures from the world of grunge. Mad Season was another case where the size of stars cohesionaron Layne Staley (Alice In Chains), Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, John Baker Saunders of The Walkabouts and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam. It has been precisely the latter that has announced its intention in an interview to edit unreleased tracks from the last stage of this fantastic band.

This next work began to emerge from the release of the only album released by Mad Season: "Above". "The point is that we try to record another album but it did not quite work." - Commented McCready told The Weekly Seed. "Layne was with Alice In Chains and died. That led me to change the band name to Mad Season Disinformation. Of the sessions at this late stage there are a total of twelve songs, and of these there are eight that are great. They need to be edited but they are only instrumental. We need to find singers who make it to do justice to the greatness achieved by Layne Staley. "

The new material from Mad Season would not be arriving, but not as much as some think. In fact McCready has had no qualms about dropping this special compact "could come later this year." With stuff like that is impossible not to feel some degree of euphoria. New issues of Mad Season. In 2012. Incredible.

To refresh your memory of what has been achieved in the mid-nineties by these heroes here are the direct Live At The Moore who performed in 1995. Paid special attention to the interpretation of 'I Do not Know Anything'. Orgasmic.

Larissa Kellerer met YA-HA to the interview:

What was your highlight of 2011?
Jana: Of course, that we have asked the panel finished and we went on tour, so we had the opportunity to perform the new songs live sometimes.
Flo: It was in Cannes also very interesting. Very special because we have just played in France. And with German music, that is something special.

What do you wish for 2012?
Flo: No. few weeks vacation.
Jill: Many concerts play, nothing else really. Concerts are the most important thing.
Flo: play festivals in the summer, that was last year that is a bit difficult. And just that we have some cool bookings.

What may not be missing Backstage with you?
Jana: Still water and vegetarian food in any case.
Flo: I absolutely need wifi.
Dirk: Otherwise, we are a rather unassuming strip.

What do you think of which depends on success?
Flo: Basically of course the music. You should get out out from the crowd and the people must have fixed it. But if the people do not like your songs, not much you can do about it.

ya-ha_pressefoto8_2011

What you let your inspiration?
Dirk: From beautiful everyday moments. In general, especially of the Isar in Munich.

Jana, you grew up in California, the daughter of a harem woman Rainer Langhans. How do you that life has influenced and inspired?
Jill: Just the whole way as I grew up, as we have lived together - it was all very open, artistic and relaxed. It was a special and spiritual atmosphere. But I just can not name ...

Would you sometimes wish you to live a life of 0815-in a terraced house in Green Forest?
Jana: 0815-A may not be life, but more contact with my father would have been great. He lives in America and that's why I rarely saw him. Sometimes it would have been such a beautiful mother-father-child family to have.

What can you or will you give young musicians on the road?
Flo: That which will make, on which the block have. Of course, as well as drum's going to get there and so on but you should always stay true to yourself. And that the coal does not spend for professional studio recording. Dear record itself ... In the early stages you have more fun at home - because you should invest the money in equipment. I think it brings more in the long run.

How did you come up with the idea YA-HA set up?
Flo: Jana and I have already worked a lot anyway, and eventually we wanted to do more than just individual songs. And then it was clear that we wanted to do something together.

How was it for you, the final and finished album in hand to hold?
Jill: Well, yes you can hear it every now and again through, to see whether or where to fit the mixture could still change things ...
Flo: That's right, you hear in the production of course every now and then clean. But the album is wrapped to see a great feeling. My is sealed, for example, still at home ...

What was your first album and what music has inspired and encouraged you?
Dirk: I have always pursued the idea of ​​rock and roll ...
Jill: I was with bands like tonsteinescherben it ... and so at 13 I have a lot and often the dead belonged pants.
Flo: For me it was tonsteinescherben bands like, but my first band played death metal, with me on bass. Of course there was also some death metal bands that I listened and thought to myself "I will be playing bass."

Which artists would you like to play a concert?
Flo: It's hard to say. There are many bands that I like to see live and with whom I would also like to play maybe .. I find it just a specific one is not.

What are you looking forward to the next time?
Flo: Of course on the tour and the concerts we will play!
Jill: Everything is open. I'm looking forward to that, what's coming, but what we do not know exactly!

Jirka stake in the Munich art space

From 19/04/2012 to 17/05/2012, there are art space, the new Munich exhibition of "Black - White - symmetry" to see artists Jirka pile. On mucbook there are already advance some pictures and a few words about the upcoming exhibition to be seen.

"Jirka pile works are created in close engagement with various forms of contemporary culture and take in equal terms of subcultural phenomena, popular culture and power, commerce, (German-German) history, as in art, art business and art discourse. According to present its multifaceted artistic production that emphasizes analog of linocuts and cut-outs enough about computer-based image generations to conceptual and performative forms and curatorial. Through his appropriierenden, often playful, experimental approach, it leads to current aspects of mediumship, communication and critical discourse analysis. His work reflects not only very accurate about "art as art", but relates directly to current social trends and subjects them to constant review.

In kunstraum muenchen Jirka post focused on a central aspect of his work: the exploration of language in relation to visual and spatial orders. Thus, text and writing not only media that refer to something else that is in its symbolism that is "transparent" and permeable, but characters that have their own visual density and opacity, which allow to enter the formal to the level of significance or the even overlap. Jirka pile stresses inherent value of this text by single words, phrases or short passages of text, often taken from everyday contexts, orders, crossed with three-dimensional geometric objects or spatial symmetry-linear structures.


Often arise so several readings: from top to bottom, left to right, on the diagonal, and vice versa. Anagrams or palindromes as they take on multiple meanings that are at variable constellations, whose meaning is constantly changing. Through the arrangement of simple basic elements to create complex textures and patterns Pattern: So in the art room mural shown in the interconnected cable ties form the word "ties". While writing on a writing received by the Scriptures, the word is ultimately only a section of the infinitely extensible grid structure of the cable ties (English for cable ties) and can be changed in its dimensions.


Jirka pile up in his work, her thematic links that allow such a role-play decisions, so that a viewer has the option of free readings dictated by their own interpretations to arrive. Construction of meaning alternates with its destruction. Aware of their self-made objects retain their character in order to maintain accountability, equal to one-make-yourself skills. This forced a deconstructive reading Jirka pole that stands on the usefulness of visualization as a contingent experience.

Jirka post (b. 1976) studied media arts at the HGB Leipzig and was co-organizer of the project space Hoppyshop in Munich. Most recently, he presented the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art in Riga.

The exhibition is an edition with the title "untitled (soft pop up)" (cloth, card slip case, edition of 10, each 280 €). Three-dimensional map from the drop falls on opening each other in a thin fabric drape.


In addition, an artist's book with the title "Awareheft". The studied at the studio on the Xerox machine produced conglomeration of essays, pictures and charts scheindiskursiven aware of the Internet in analog, not time-based medium of artists' books. At sixteen pages in grooved binding the focus is on how content is processed again in 2012. "
