spring scenarios
While in other countries in Europe, spring is past already, or bathing in the other end of the world in one of the seven leaves seas to the now fading autumn has created here is me in this country the water until the Adam's apple. Nothing like it should be. The weather mostly sucks, the upbeat mood of bygone days would be almost together with the imperial Gemüsestangerln drowned in the mud, all grumble about (including me) are excited, stressed and would have rebelled recently my long johns, it would become a wooden cross somewhere on the area of the Wiener Arena taken - "Spellbound by the unpackbar thight Leah Shapiro frozen in the cold hands of Sophie" would denounce it.
(The after eim few days of sunshine at last the summer will have arrived, and I still can not quite believe ...)
Incidentally, the temporary torn workday feels faster than expected anything but good at, and the gold bars, which The early bird 'to a supposedly should put in the mouth, the rest apparently still in the box anecdotes. For that I can finally countless bills to me so bear fall out of the bag pants in the record store, and this is the best ever on such a seasonal job. Well, to the hedonistic now but do not stop anyway.
The lines in the calendar but more, the days shorter and the anticipation of larger on both sides.
The fountain of youth
While, therefore, believes in the wrong calendar page bubbles, at least the never-ending source music blithely to himself, and washes at the right time precious to the surface, which is a pleasure to tow and buckets of home to wallow in it, and hold not with any barriers which must reach out there (BP slaughtered even THE yet, and sailed calmly on transparency flag)
Walter Schreifels , pioneer in the (urban) jungle music genres, key guardians of about one million different doors, energetic workers and travelers will happily provide us with his long-awaited solo album. Fittingly, he has christened with a mixture of Hudson River Spree and water, An Open Letter To The Scene , and created plenty of room for interpretation.
yet for that he will not decline so right that he is now 40, first Lenze the hump and secondly, the acoustic guitar will not let it out of hand. Second option is true, of course, limited, but is lurking, after nine years Pause, finally, FINALLY! a new Rival Schools album somewhere around in a brownstone in Williamsburg. And must remain there still up in the autumn (probably next to fix the finished Moondog Ep to which the world is waiting also still in the form of plastic).
For releases are in the house Schreifels any case for official purposes, and those are also reasonable time off, preferably with a tour.
Family Style
After last years of Herumtingeln with the acoustic guitar, which led him into suburb Ottakring in the same way as the ash clouds debacle at the Moscow airport, and a two-year residence in Berlin, which finally ended in the title of "Dad", he left the capital again in 2009 in the direction to where he was in the late eighties with the opening of the gorilla cage continued story or written . NYC / Brooklyn fact.
And anno 2010 can recoup the co-owner of Some Records as ever from a repertoire of musicians, which gives him the opportunity both in Asia, Europe, or fall back just in America, a band can be, what it the Live help you out.
For the current European tour, he digs one, you can call them easily in such a way Scene All Star band around.
actors who have consistently over the years, their fingerprints in a wide cracks of the (musical) entertainment company and the representation of left ideologies, can be found in it. Including companion and "best friend" Arthur Smilios, bassist in Gorilla Biscuits or CIV or just Drew Thomas, of the boilers. This held even at Walking Concert , Walter's last band project, the clock machinery running (and before that, inter alia, in Bold )
at the Gibson's raging from Dave Hill. An absolutely more fun with trades Rampensau qualities that obviously anything can and does (and although it could be read on for more counter-productive - you rummaging through his side , read his (Tour) blog ... but you take anything today before !!!)..
keyboardist John Herguth was not until then known, served but in a double role and provided with Garret Klahn (formerly Texas is the Reason ) under the name Atlantic / Pacific a melancholy, though, in Europe on a duo shrunk, from support act, implants itself somewhere between Mac, synth and acoustic guitars with double vocals. (All wonderful: "Meet Your New Love")
Society Suckers
The scene Vienna presented with a maximum of 50 interested frighteningly empty, too much solved the surprise for me but no longer. We are just still in the proletarian Vienna, where other scenes just booming. Well, in many other cities / countries, there might be such a phenomenon as well, or stop at all. However, there is the "rest" at least as a matter of course present, and it feels the bottom line then just come good.
Massive concerns about the conditions prevailing in this country in terms of musical culture are so approved. Not even a Popfest nothing, not even if you manage the (long time) most miserable sound get added. Somehow, in Vienna's will spark my opinion, not really. I have to respect listen my Raunzerein stuff, but it's like this - elsewhere ignite such things, in Vienna, however, requires one (incredibly disorganized and thread) Danube channel drift for example, at least for a day "would like" to create a sense of community . In a city that has everything, and far too little out of it. to describe
Walter sings along
the musicians Schreifels is anything but easy. So he makes it to An Open Letter To The Scene also equal to itself, it has become a very intimate album (notably: the the late Warzone singer Ray "Raybeez" Barbieri song dedicated to "Open Letter"). His voice may be getting used poorly, as his harmonies. It is known from Quicksand as well as from Rival Schools . In his solo project but also the whole gets the Mellow-fold pure iron. And, also sits on the stage (even if it really a bit faster and louder is received). Unbelievable, what books could fill this man, and does. It is a re aware of what music contains everything there is one, why there are people who are so free and record their experiences, give us this "home". By his own testimony, he is in the permanent write and sketch mode.
break down every song individually and interpret the world into which I will, as so often refute each to his heart. That with the Vorpraktizieren I leave this time out though.
Only this: Who Agnostic Front's Society Suckers "tailors (from the album Victim in Pain ), such a stylish suit that not only has to be (now) veteran, but also a - lover.
A second cover has cheated on the album (apart from CIV's "Do not Gotta Prove It," which, like the whole project CIV , also from Walters spring comes). However, you have to scratch only on the (in various colors and conditions available) Vinyl LP the opportunity to "When You Sleep" by the wonderful My Bloody Valentine the final round.
accurately and honestly as this record ausrennt as a Walter met as a person. Including personal address and a smile. Nice when you get back on years of accumulated appreciation.
Walter speaks the words
the uniformed Enemies from Bavaria, and their affinity small buses that take even the slightest out for touring musicians apart, it is due to once again understand that this arrived with considerable delay in Vienna. Sound Check cozy and stress-free interview had died thus. The concert was of course still a fireworks display, which included almost all Walter'schen projects. Even the wonderful "Summer Time" (in the original of George Gershwin ) there was an encore, and a sparkle in his eyes.
Despite the already ever-lasting day and the plethora of unnecessary hardship, Walter was so free, and answered me after the concert, so to estimated at 1 clock in the morning, tired and hungry, one way or another question. Let us leave the evening with a few wise sentences passed in review and take An Open Letter To The Scene in the summer playlist. So then when this should be final.
