ANA | Rock web | myspace

This Hamburg band plays no frills, straight-up rock and punk rock. After releasing their debut-CD “SLOWLY SINKING DEEPER” (Distr: Rough Trade Distribution GmbH) in september 2008 and first touring activities, this band is writing and producing their second album now.

ANAs´ music is quite emotional and powerful at the same time. The songs contain emotionally soaked vocals without drifting into clichés, that hit you right in the heart. Therefore it´s not surprising, that ANA already performed with bands such as Smoke Blow, Dover, Boozed, Terrorgruppe, Electric Eel Shock, The Casualties, Sommerset, Dee Dee Ramone, Duane Peters & The Hunns, Venerea, and She-Male Trouble.

Within the last few years the guys from Hamburg assembled a faithful community of fans in Germany around them. Now they are trying to cross over to international territories!

anstatt blumen | Pop web | facebook | booking

The young two-piece band from Mannheim has already made waves with the finest German Pop, becoming a real insider tip in the city.
Their captivating songs are profound, passionate and optimistic. Impulsive piano riffs, playful guitars and the exceptional, crystal clear voice of their charismatic front woman, Lilli Born, come together to give the band its unmistakeable sound.

The band, built around front woman, Lilli Born and songwriter Martin Rott, can already boast a Vision Star 2006 award. Then three months later they scooped first place at the 2006 Newcomer Festival in Austria (then still under other names). To top it all, their song, “Ich liebe Lieder” climbed to number one in the listener charts of the biggest Internet radio station in Saarland, RMN Radio.

A baby break in 2007 led to a phase of reinvention. New songs and a new band followed in 2008 and multi-talented Martin Rott moved from drums to piano. These changes cement the band’s disctinctive character and bode well for their future. In May 2009 they were awarded “Newcomer on the month” by BigFm with their song “Umdrehn”. They are currently putting together a new album for a planned release in Autumn 2010. Talks with the various labels have already begun.

Heidrik | Pop web | facebook | myspace

Heidrik (Hi´drik) is the new sound of a new musical generation hailing from the Faroe Islands.
The harsh and yet beautiful nature of the Faroe Islands reflects the passionate and dramatic depths in Heidrik´s music and voice.

Mixing dark electronic baselines with melodic haunting choirs and strings and last and not least a powerful yet fragile voice, Heidrik leaves all in phrase.

He co-produces and arranges all his songs in a style that spans from the uncompromising force of folk music, orchestral pop and electro. In short, Heidrik isn't afraid of mixing his impulses.

"When I think about the Faroe Islands there is a lot of mystery and literally a mist surrounding everything. And when I think about it, that is what I try to reflect in my music." says Heidrik.

Heidrik´s lyrics could almost remind you of little fables. The content of his filmic and mystical lyrics draws heavily from Heidrik´s daydreams and frustration in his isolated country.
Accordingly his live performance ranges from mystical to surreal to eccentric and dreamy as well, regardless of his set-up on stage - either with a full band including strings or just supported by a DJ.

LAN | Electro web | facebook | myspace | shop | booking

LAN is an electronic band from Berlin. Since 2006 LAN connects electronic music with acoustic instruments and sounds out of everyday life. On stage and in the studio the band members search for the undefined field between hooky pop-music and experimental electronic arrangements.
Influenced by the berlin club scene and the last 50 years of pop-history the band creates songs that are intimate and out of nowhere at the same time.
The punk attitude of singer Colya Kärcher merges with his fragile vocal melodies.

The producers and band members Klaus Sebastian Klose and Henning Grambow remix the LAN-tracks live on stage. Their jazz-background is noticable in the dynamic way they improvise with beats, synths and noises. Always focussing on both, the hooky pop song and the uncompromising dance track.

T-Bird | web | myspace | booking

T-Bird has been a DJ for over 20 years and has made music since childhood. He sees the two activities as extensions of each other.
"Because I am a musician, what I DJ has to work musically.  Dj'ing is also the performance outlet for the music I create."
During his tenure he has heard many changes in musical styles. The genres he enjoys tend to have roots in Soul or Funk.
"I love that there is so much variety out there and I am enjoying the evolution, combinations and even some of the revivals happening in music right now.  It broadens the range of what I make and spin."

"My goal is to keep it interesting yet accessible.  This applies to both tracks I produce and the ones I play at events."
T-Bird doesn't play Top 40 sets, but he always aims for maximum dancefloor impact.  His main criteria for tracks are quality and crowd reaction. This approach has served him well performing in various cities in the USA, UK, and Europe.
