Brought to you by Cranky Booking and www.blitzgigs.de, Jimmy Trash And The Gunpowder Temple Of Heaven headline tonight at Antje Oklesund’s regular Friday night, Hren & Gesehen werden. Jimmy and his band, hands down the best named band in town( Oska Wald, Johnny Friseur, Konrad Wilde, Omri Gondor and Mohair Sam) have the following, humble mission each time they bring their psych-swamp to bear on an unsuspecting audience:
We have the goal of completely enveloping the audience with a sense of lust, regret and physical danger. We take our cues from sensual Louisiana swamp sounds, psychedelic freak out culture, voodoo ceremony, and violent performance art.
So, as you can imagine, there’ll be lots of blood, guts and balls out rock n’ roll anitcs, a scared audience crouched in fear and obeying the orders of the dark lord at the head of the Gunpowder Temple, in short, everything you ever wanted from a rock n’ roll gig on a Friday night in Berlin but thought you didn’t deserve.
Here’s their new video, Pseudo-Lucian Dreams:
Here’s Sick and Six Is The Magic Number:
To kick things off we have Crystal Shipsss, a side project of Jacob Faurholt from Aarhus, Denmark. Faurholt has released three albums under his own name aswell as an EP under the name Why Write? – produced by the legendary Kramer, who was the genius twiddling the knobs on albums by Low and Galaxie 500. His Crystal Shipsss debut, Yay, will be released officially later this year but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on this chance to catch him play some of this excellent lo-fi psych-pop live, accompanied by Soren of Man Meets Bear.
This one’s called Smile:
Delta Love will be second up tonight and if their recent, if too few, performances are anything to go by, this tuneful garage duo are a band you’ll be hearing a lot more about in the near future. Opening up for Sic Alps last autumn at West Germany, these young men did a splendid job of warming up the audience and won many new fans in the process with their wobbly, off kilter guitar sound, a unique band indeed.
Here they are live at Stattbad Wedding:
…and a song of theirs titled Tell Me:
DJ Andrewpants provides the in-between and after hours music.
