Cybersen on New Neotek video - blood, drugs and humour

Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:43:32 +0000

Neotek has done a new music video for the track Alive, taken from the album *Sex, Murder & Rock’n’Roll. Totally selfmade it features the story of a hospital from Hell, where a deadly injured patient is brought in – and from there on it goes downhill. A very humorous video filled with blood, gore, violence, sex and drugs – rock’n’roll – from the second biggest Danish EBM/industrial export right now.

Cybersen on 17/4 Welle:Erdball (D) live

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 10:32:21 +0000

Hörerclub, BrainCorp & Club Stahlwerk present:

Welle:Erdball (D) live in concert & 15. Hörerclubtreffen! + support & DJs

The Commodore 64 fetishists and kings of bit-pop are finally back in Denmark!

Saturday April 17. @ Forbrændingen, Vognporten 11, Albertslund (2 minutes from the S-station). Doors open 21.00. Presale tickets: 120 DKK (through http://www.billetlugen.dk ), remaining tickets at the door: 130 DKK. Join in on http://www.facebook.com/event......4949855979

Before and after the concert: StahlCorp nightclub with lots of Futurepop, EBM, NDW, Synth, New Wave, and 80'ies stuff served to you by MB (Hörerclub), Primi (Club Stahlwerk), Orlando & Brain (Club BrainCorp)

This will be the official 15. Welle:Erdball Hörerclubtreffen (fanclub meeting). so expect guests from all over Scandinavia and Germany – and the rest of the world! A lot of different stuff will happen during the night

Welle:Erdball (D)
Ever since forming in 1990 Welle:Erdball have been striving to achieve their own unparalleled sound. In their electronic, minimalist pop with German lyrics it’s the analogue synth sound, which lures the listener into a world of technology, futurism and ‘perfect products’.

It is fair to compare Welle:Erdballs catchy sound with bands Kraftwerk, Ideal, DAF and Profil, and their live shows apply a stunning kaleidoscope of computer technology and moody black and white settings to entertain their audiences.

Welle:Erdball has released several albums, all of them packed with innovations, gimmicks and that particular sense of humour, for which Welle:Erdball are famous. Albums like “Tanzpalast 2000”, “Der Sinn Des Lebens”, “Die Wunderwelt Der Technik”, “Chaos Total” has spawned numerous club hits – and usually not a club night of dark electronics goes by without a Welle:Erdball track has been played.

As always with Welle:Erdball, the legendary Commodore 64 computer plays a prominent role both on stage and in the creation of their songs, and all tracks have that special New German Wave feeling synonymous with the band. This special annual Hörerclubtreffen is for the first time held outside Germany – and you can always expect Welle:Erdball to deliver an extra special live experience. Expect the unexpected!

Brain on New CD From Nitzer Ebb

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:18:47 +0000

Nitzer Ebb – Industrial Complex, 2CD 120 dkk
So here we go, Nitzer Ebbs’s first new studio album in fifteen years. Bon Harris and Douglas McCarthy, with the help of Jason Payne, truly mastered the challenge to deliver a piece of work which sounds fresh and modern but without denying their past. ‘Industrial Complex’ is a pretty diverse album but without being uneven, with killer arrangements by Harris, great vocals by McCarthy and a lot of love for detail. But Nitzer Ebb never get lost in details, they focus on the essence of each track – something they’ve always been particularly good at – and thus ‘Industrial Complex’ will work perfectly on the dance floor as well in live clubs and at home on headphones.
In January and February 2010, Nitzer Ebb will tour Europe with their old label-mates Depeche Mode as well as doing several headliner shows. Here’s hoping that Nitzer Ebb will capitalize greatly from exposing their new songs to crowds of tens of thousands! January 22nd is the date any fan should mark with a red cross in his calendar!
