SO UNDEAD! October 3rd Reichenbergerstr 28 Berlin @5PM

So Undead! is an exhibit about making connections between seemingly unrelated genres: Extreme Guitar Music ie. Punk, Metal and HC and the endless shades of Electronica. The art that will be shown at the event is wholly based on interviews conducted with artists, who in the past have dabbled in guitar distortion and are currently masters of the art of the synthetic. The interviewees include: Mary Anne Hobbs, Robot Koch (Jahcoozi)..., Cristian Vogel (Super Collider), T.Raumschmiere, Lars Kirchbach (Tolcha), Vladislav Delay, The Foreign Beggars, The Creep, Sneaky (Fingathing), The Bug etc. So Undead! is an exhibit about making connections between seemingly unrelated genres: Extreme Guitar Music ie.

The interviews will be presented as a series of book panels designed and illustrated by 44flavours, Nathan Menglesis and Margarita Rojas, and a video installation prepared by director Pol Ponsarnau. Additionally Robot Koch, Cristian Vogel and Sneaky will be playing an eclectic mixture of Garage, Punk, Metal and Electronica.

The project was curated by Lukasz Polowczyk (a.k.a. RQM) & 44flavours

HELL YEAHH! What a crazy and interesting project. I wish I had a teleporting device. I would immediately go to Berlin next Monday, 3rd October to experience this one-of-the-kind event.

Coming from heavy metal / hc background myself I can only welcome this initiative with open mind and great expectations. Robot Koch, Cristian Vogel & Sneaky playing a mix of Garage, Punk, Metal & Electronica = PRICELESS :) Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.

Schedule of the Event:
5.30 - 6.30 Sneaky DJ set
6.30 - 7.30 Cristian Vogel DJ set
7.30 - 8.30 Robot Koch DJ set
8.30 Screening

On this occasion Robot Koch has prepared a really peculiar mixtape SO UNDEAD, a patchwork of death metal / thrash metal / grunge vs. electronica featuring, among others, my favorite heavy metal band - i.e. Anthrax (I've been endlessly teased by devouted Metallica fans for this), gurgling death metal band Morbid Angel as well as Distance or EPROM. Sounds .... strange to say the least :)
Arghhshshihowwheeeeeeereeeeeherhhre.

Graciela Maria - Through the Night

Mexican Singer/Songwriter Graciela Maria has cooperated with Robot Koch on a few of his stunning releases, and Brujeria, the track featuring her beautiful vocal, was definitely one of the best tunes last year for me. They started performing together across the world and now the time has come to release her debut. Robot Koch teamed up with friend and fellow musician Sneaky (Fingathing / Ninja Tune) and judging by the first track Through The Night off the forthcoming full lenght Many Places by Graciela Maria (which you can download for free via bandcamp), they did a wonderful job, creating reach sonic textures, pulsating with joyful energy and forming amazing basis for Graciala Maria vocals to thrive on. I am really anxious to put my hands and ears on all 10 tracks of Many Places to be released on Project Mooncircle at the end of January.
