Sounds Wrong Feels Right: HTRK, LONE TAXIDERMIST, O PAN, UOMO DI CARNE

Der VVK ist beendet. Es sind noch ausreichend Tickets an der Abendkasse erhältlich.

HTRK
HTRK, one of the most respected bands in Australia. The band was founded in 2003 in Melbourne by singer Jonnine Standish, bassist Sean Stewart (d.2010) and guitarist Nigel Yang. Their early live shows attracted the attention of former birthday party guitarist Rowland S. Howard, who subsequently produced their classic debut "Marry Me Tonight". In 2006 the band toured to Europe and signed with the electronic labels blastfirstpetite and Ghostly International. Stewart's suicide in 2010 rocked Standish and Yang, but they continued recording and released the intense, textured album "Work (work, work)" in 2011 with great success. Upon their return to Australia in 2012, Standish and Yang set off for the New Mexico desert to produce their third and final album, "Psychic 9-5 Club" (2014), a dub meditation on changed conditions and "inner peace" that deeply penetrated critics and fans around the world. The duo's fourth studio album was recorded in Melbourne in 2018 and is scheduled for release in August 2019.

LONE TAXIDERMIST (Natalie Sharp / Memetunes)
LONE TAXIDERMIST is a creation of the twisted machinations and fertile imagination of Cumbrian-born, London-dwelling performance artist Natalie Sharp. Sharp's performances are bizarre and glamorous multi-media ventures, filthy and loud and nothing for the faint hearted. Aesthetics that remind you of Ryan Trecartin or Leigh Bowery, a radical celebration of queerness and an intense rave howling with psychotic chaos. She worked with Gazelle Twin and Jennifer Hval and her track Red Kiss is one of our personal favorite releases of the last years. Described as "a place of glittery batshittery..." by The Wire this first Cologne show ever will be one for the ages.

O PAN (tree music)
O Pan aka Matthew George McDonald-Bates has been playing in bands since the age of 12. Originated in Wellington, New Zealand, he moved to Cologne in 2014. His performances vary between lethargic noise figures, genderfluid club-acts and abstract movements. He has appeared in several Cologne music projects such as Hall & Rauch, Asiplastique, and UMMN as well as working solo as O Pan. He is part of the Cologne based label and artist collective baumusik.

UOMO DI CARNE/b> (Kame House)
UOMO DI CARNE aka Lars Fleischmann is well known for his eclectic, at times nerdy music selection. Surprisingly he never supported a SWFR journey. We are very curious about his picks for this Tuesday rave's line up...
