MARY OCHER – eden – Haute Areal

HALP025 -Haute Areal – 2013

So, heute wagt sich Rock The Cam an neue Musik heran. Ein Berlinbesuch brachte mir ein paar neue Schallplatten ein. Alle vom Berliner Label Haute Areal und los geht mit Mary Ocher und ihrer LP namens eden.

Coole Musik, noisy, schräg und dreckig. Sie Stimme von Marys Ocher ist für mich aber schon sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, wenn tief dann gut, wenn es hoher Gesang ist, dann nix für meine Ohren. Die ganze eden Platten am Stück ist dann schon anstrengend und deshalb kommt hier mein Vorschlag für das Mixtape: (as free as) the great outdoors. Hat eine tolle bedrückende Atmosphäre und klingt echt gut (bei tiefer Stimme).

MARY OCHER - eden

Today Rock The Cam gets in touch with new music. A trip to Berlin brought me some new records and all of these nice vinyl platters are on the Berlin based Label Haute Areal.

Let’s start with Mary Ocher and her LP called eden. Cool music, sound is a bit dirty, edgy and noisy. Which leads me to the voice, to which I really need to get accustomed to. When she sings low, I really like it, when Mary starts singing in high tunes; it’s no good for my ears. Produced by King Khan.
My tip for you and your next mixtape is the song named: (As free as) the great outdoors.

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead 09.11.2014 Ampere München


And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Neue Platte, neue Tour und neue Bilder für dich: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead waren wieder unterwegs, diesmal in der Ampere. So wie die Platte so war der Beginn, etwas ruhiger, sphärischer. Treibend aber nicht wild. Doch mit der Zeit hat sich dies gesteigert und es wurde heftiger. Was habe ich zu den Konzerten von Trail Of Dead zuvor geschrieben? Intensiv; und das war es mal wieder was Jason Reece, Conrad Keely, Autry Fulbright II und Jamie Miller geboten haben. Diesmal war Autry nur kurz am Boden, dafür spielte er eine lange Zeit aus beim Publikum in der ersten Reihe. Ich freue mich schon auf mein nächstes And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead Konzert.

New record out, new tour and new pictures for you: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead came to Munich to play at the Ampere. And the concert was a bit like the new record, started out a bit calmer, impulsive but not wild. Ongoing it got harder. What did I write the last times about the Trail Of Dead shows? Intensive and this is what it was again and what Jason Reece, Conrad Keely, Autry Fulbright II and Jamie Miller are just really great in doing! OK; Autry did not do such extreme body workout on the floor but he went down from the stage to play a while out of the audience. To put a long story in a nut shell: happy to see And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead soon again!

Your Favorite Enemies 09.11.2014 Ampere München


Your Favorite Enemies

In der Ampere in München gab es mal wieder was Schmackhaftes: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead und als Vorspeise gab es Your Favorite Enemies und hey die Band habe ich nicht gekannt und da bin ich froh, die gesehen zu haben. Your Favorite Enemies aus Kanada machen gut Druck und zum Schluss sind dann Alex Foster, Miss Isabel, Sef, Ben Lemelin, Jeff Beaulieu und auch Charles Allicy (samt Schlagzeug) schön runter in den Mob, um da noch Ihr Bestes zu geben – Party!

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead came to the Ampere in Munich and before them there was Your Favorite Enemies playing. Fortunately I was in time and I could catch this Canadian band. Good one and to finish the show, Miss Isabel, Ben Lemelin, Sef, Alex Foster, Charles Allicy and Jeff Beaulieu all went down from the stage to play directly with the audience. Party with Your Favorite Enemies!

Kill It Kid 24.10.2014 interview Stephanie Ward – Chris Turpin

You Owe everything to Kill It Kid?

If you did not hear about Kill It Kid from UK, please check out their page and listen to their songs. And if you do, be sure to catch them on stage.

After I have seen them playing at the fantastic Atomic Café in Munich (what a good gig) I was able to meet them backstage for a little interview. Although I refused to eat their Pizza, Stephanie Ward and Chris Turpin gave me some minutes: a friendly gang they are.


Kill It Kid Stephanie Ward Kill It Kid - Chris Turpin

RTC: If your music would be a film, what kind/ genre would it be?
KIK: A road movie for sure!

RTC: Should your film entertain/ teach/ make something aware to the people?
KIK: It should leave you with an Ohhuuu
(What a funny Ohhuuu-face Stephanie was making to the sound of Ohhuuu)

RTC: Should your music entertain/ teach/ make something aware to the people?
KIK: Stephanie smiling
The music of Kill It Kid should leave you with an Ohhuuu (and now Stephanie and Chris smiling all over the face)

RTC: Why should more people listen to Kill It Kid?
KIK: Because the music on the radio is shit (Fast answer from Chris)

Then we had a little discussion being filled with noise from people/ movement in the backstage room about Kill It Kid leaving Bath and that the best club there burned down and the other good one is/ was The Nest (?) and as well the famous last question I did not get completely (unfortunately).

RTC: Imagine you are god and you can set up a festival, name me your five headliners (even dead people or dissolved bands):

KIK: Antony Jones + Billy Armstrong together
Free
Aretha Franklin
Led Zeppelin


Kill It Kid Stephanie Ward

Kill It Kid 24.10.2014 Atomic Café München


Kill It Kid

Schade, das Atomic Café in München ist nicht mehr; Freude, denn meine letzte Band live an diesem schönen Ort hat richtig Spaß gemacht. Es spielten Kill It Kid aus England und die wissen was sie tun. Tolle Mischung aus wie steht es so schön in Wikipedia: Blues Grunge Americana. Dazu Frau / Mann Gesang und in den Songs viel Emotionen. Hat live zwischendurch schön gekracht, was ich ja schon auch mag. Stephanie Ward, Chris Turpin, Dom Kozubik und Marc Jones alias Kill It Kid sind live zu empfehlen, am Start haben KIK auch ein neues Album namens You Owe Nothing.
Kurzes Interview mit Stephanie und Chris ist bald auch hier zu finden.

What a pity, the Atomic Cafe in Munich closed down. No pity was my last show in this missed place. I was able to catch Kill It Kid from England live on stage and they know what they do! On Wikipedia their music style is revered to as blues, grunge, americana (whatever this means). Nice are the changing vocals from Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward and overall, they rock and mostly they sound raw. They have a new record out called You Owe Nothing and my advice to you is, see them live. KIK kick!
Short interview with Chris and Stephanie will be on Rock The Cam soon.

Twin Tone Trigger 24.10.2014 Atomic Café München


Twin Tone Trigger

Auf geht’s Twin Tone Trigger, als Vorband von Kill It Kid konnten Kevin Ippisch und Alex Rupp im Atomic Cafe rocken. Leider ist das Atomic Café jetzt Geschichte, aber Twin Tone Trigger können mit Ihrem rauen Blues Rock noch Geschichte schreiben: aus München in die Stadien dieser Welt?

My last show at the now historic Atomic Café. Two Munich guys Kevin Ippisch and Alex Rupp do the Garage rock blues duo and opened up for Kill It Kid. The name of the band is Twin Tone Trigger. Go!

Off! 18.10.2014 Klub 007 Strahov Prag


Off!

Endlich, da musste ich nach Prag fahren um die Jungs zu sehen, denn alle anderen Konzerttermine haben nicht gepasst. Also, ab in die Karre und ein paar Stunden Kilometer gefressen. Dann in Prag vor dem Klub 007 Strahov rumgesessen und auf Off! gewartet. Und die kamen erstmals nicht. Also noch mehr gewartet und gewartet. Dann endlich kam der Tourbus und Glück gehabt, denn Keith Morris baute noch etwas Interviewzeit ein. Danach ab in den kleinen Club und eine geile Vorband erlebt: Cerebral Ballzy. Und dann kam Off! auf die Bühne und hat mal richtig Dampf gemacht. Keith Morris, Dimitri Coats, Mario Rubalcaba und Steven Shane McDonald wissen wie eine Hardcore Punk Party gefeiert wird und der Klub 007 war mal freudig dabei!

Somehow it never worked out that Off! will play for me, what can I do? Getting into the car and take a long drive to Prague and hey, after hours of waiting (Off! were stuck somewhere on the highway) I had the chance to do an interview and even better, I was able to catch them live. The wonderful small Klub 007 Strahov in Prague was the place to be on this evening, cause Keith Morris, Steven Shane McDonald, Dimitri Coats and Mario Rubalcaba know how to celebrate a Hardcore Punk party and the place knew how to fire up such a party. Although it was a hard long drive home in the night I was lucky that I did this trip and that I was able to see Off! live on stage.
