Finally back music ....
" Each end brings with it a new beginning " ... .. Who says so? - And above all that true too?
It is quite strange how various traditions that together make the case from past experience and the experienced other, emotionally have a lifetime pass through my world of thought, one arises due to self-perceived events then the question whether that would be really so, whether this single line their worn message all by itself implements or whether there has yet to contribute its share to it. It depends, as so often on the definition, for a start is not the same as such. A beginning can be an end, the end of the beginning. In recent days, as with me - against my current will - stopped the inner spirit of optimism, there it was again present, this hackneyed phrase. The difference is that I started a while ago something new had to tread, thus the here and now where I am (Again) is even as a new situation, another beginning of an era, but later got just seen merely as a constructive progress work on a different location. And yet it is incredibly important to me just to know for sure that I will be opening in a few weeks once a new chapter, but there had taken out a few months ago everything works ....
The beginning ....
When I run out in July 2008, in the middle of bending the ancient, rusted tracks towards a better future, a little bit and wanting to bring about the September, about this wonderful and appointed as acting Article the Branch NYC stumbled because I was bursting suddenly full of strength and hope. The music had this at first glance so freaked acting group and the apparently unprecedented mix of styles like a surge of my depleted batteries recharge in just seconds left. I felt great and had some power for the time was so important last step. Now, more than half a year later, a landmark rich horizon expansion abroad and the first time in months dirty Danube exchanged for blue Mediterranean, as the music fits perfectly back into the program. So I am now also wrapped in three layers and severe sadness by Vienna's streets marching, the hooded sweatshirt pulled far over her head and with A thousand eyes in the headphones. Very strange the whole thing affected me very uncomfortable I felt in me usually so familiar city and had I not had the knowledge to get in a few hours in the live enjoyment of Crystal Antlers , then the day would already be back to have been the end. Yes, only now I understand what it means to see something with new eyes ... or even like this with a few thousand.

Then, after a short-but I think successful - surprise, went off you in the good old Arena . And I was not there alone on the road, which helped me a lot and made the evening mutate only really a huge benefit moment. Even when I am with my thoughts more than 2000 km'm away, it is still a wonderful feeling suddenly one of the most important people after months of abstinence to have by his side. The concert took place in three room, a sound not technically optimal location and more resembling a shoe box. I already had before the show much concern about what it would in the case of a band like the Crystal Antlers for effects bring. After all, these are a band that is relevant to their Sound defined. Of course, every band does that, but in this particular case, a fatal sound performance can cause considerable damage. The band (because the first time in Vienna), by course to the present and mostly at myself before but it was so far, we still took the acting under the synonym Shooting Spires BJ Warshaw (in terms of establishment now of Brooklyn moved to New Jersey) on a journey into the world of effects. can make for me every time a phenomenon resembling how to approach such music for themselves to discover and subsequently also keeps track in this horrible mix of yard-long twisted cables, a plethora Gaffa and somewhere in between also estimated five effects units, a Kaospad, an I-Pod, a Mini-Midi (apparently around the corner from Fisher Price), a wah-wah, and lots more. Even though I discourage such screeching sound clouds always a little bit and I can not really get into it, I've become in the next minutes but a fan of his voice. Were the first numbers still pushing on the head, but then I could see a certain logic behind it all. Maybe that's just my main problem, to do everything getting back to a logical common denominator. I have done so not even in the compartment of the hated math, so why in the much more complex (But beloved) of the music. So I'll just let's again. As a fine gimmick and world premiere at the same time he sought for a number of the bagpipes playing the Iroquois Czech / American punk rockers Pipes and Pints on stage, which brought the debate to swing the pub. Unfortunately, featured a massive technical difficulties what the sound engineer at a herumkriechenden on stage, all the cables inspected Ärmling made. Always in search of the contact error, which occurred in this tangle of well-known finding a needle in a haystack very close. It led, subsequently, to the fact that the concert was over. In the subsequent discussion in the arena - Pub then a broken DI-Box was identified as the culprit. And if such a one man - is machinery from the distant New York to visit, should be a second project, this time a band called see Parts & Labor also mentioned.
was finally brought some order to the chaos. Cable ends disappeared in the corresponding instruments, sticks, knocking one off the pace and left the post. The room was an estimated 50 - 60 people filled so bad. Of the vocal problems had forced the singer Jonny Bell to cancel the concert in Cologne was to listen to anything. Rau, snotty, the lower jaw are pushed far forward, eyes closed and permanent brachial anshoutend the microphone as if it were the most hated thing on earth - so he presented himself. He appreciates the public not look, and if so, then these are a fraction of a second and in combination with a slang free thank . I positioned myself in the front row, left the boxes behind me. I thought that it was the sound creates a bank when I monitor the major storm of the stage would get heard. This assumption proved to be right. Was there in the middle of the room still initial sound problems which you have to take only after about three numbers with the Organ sounds and more attention to the guitar counteracted, so forward all sounded clean and every so precise, of enormous importance placed distortion of the technically gifted guitarist Andrew (appropriately enough, with last name King) and any impact on the bongos on "Sexual Chocolate" were perfectly . hear The band from Long Beach, California us delighted in 2008 with a bombastic EP which, under the tutelage of Ikey Owens, in his capacity of outstanding organist at The Mars Volta and old acquaintance of the percussionists - from the days where it does things in a LA former club organized and worked well as a sound technician in this - was produced. In addition, Owens served for a time as organist at Crystal Antlers . be used for the production in April this year, appearing long player Tentacles had problems but from time to another producer. If you listen to but the first single Andrew , it may be, if any, worry lines, which may have formed due to the new constellation in the recording process on the forehead, just press again. It is, it seems, a seamless continuation of the Ep. Live this number was placed in fourth place, so it equaled the album. to describe the music of this band, because I have just my problems that, because I can not really tell where to place them in my general very broad musical spectrum. This mix of a lot of soul, prog and drug-filled 60's Psycho, this so-perfect everything with each other and yet so simple and unprofessional acting DIY - voice, percussion, this infinitely sharp cymbals, this spartan drum ... .. it seems, especially after the concert and a further 12 hours of continuous rotation of the seven numbers in my possession, as if a long time in my subconscious then grown idea of the perfect, all-encompassing music gone suddenly come true. As if someone had really hit the jackpot broken in this regard. Congratulations. Contrary to my expectations was presented by the new album only a fraction of which pass Ep but almost full. That numbers like Owl , Until the Sun Dies (2 part) , the already mentioned above A thousand eyes, Vexation and especially Parting Song For The Torn Sky I made for a colossal release of endorphins that is understood even by themselves especially the latter has been classically as a final end set, simply because they are perfect as such comes into play, because in this song again really steam can be discharged, because here in the Jam-Part number ever can hit the head of Jonny Bell's on the organ keys by Victor Rodriguez, there in sweats, the keyboard of massacred C1 to C2 and leave because a Damien Adwards aka Sexual Chocolate the world already a little bit oblique is responsible for its black and white Ray Ban's , apparently confused his percussion with his beloved from his last erotic dream and Kevin Stuart again the Last out of his drums herauspusht. The audience paid homage to the Californians with unending salvos applause and calls for at least another hour music. Well, this did not happen anymore, but two other numbers, of course, one of which is almost exclusively dahinwummerndes instrumental piece and another, probably also a new composition, were already still inside.

It was a perfect first night in the new old town, or at least postponed, the phase of my hard-to-use feelings to a few hours back. After it was then operated for the Arena-pub until the early morning hours, the depletion of their body around, one hand to cope with the situation easier, 27 years of celebrating world citizenship, or to remedy just a countless hour-long continuing journey to Switzerland, the desired effect occurred in each of the cases. Also discovered Sexual Chocolate the merits of the White spraying has, since yesterday a new friend from chocolate could imagine to be living and expressed personal wish as an open-air gig in exactly this in the arena. Could both on the Ep and on the Lp cooperating second guitarist Errol Davis no longer be obtained in time for the European tour the band because currently lingering in Thailand. Generally, according to statements was the percussionist, who does not see himself and his bongos as a stopgap, but as a second voice to singer and drummer, first played a gig together. The following U.S. tour but he was the sixth man the boards of the stage to share with them.

The album Tentacles stretches out in Europe 6 April 2009 with a record shop of your trust and is the label Touch and Go released. According to information is the band this is the Uerige last plate, then the label is its services set or downgesized .
Each escape was this unique opportunity to watch this band in such a family context, which can now only do I get well soon - but if someone is in the mood for summer premature feelings, I can only Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona recommended. There you can compete with the Crystal Antlers to race ... and of course yours truly ;-)
In this sense, I would like to quote Corey Rusk (Touch and Go founder).
.... but we also know that good things can come from new beginnings .
PAZ!
