Sputnikhalle, Münster, Germany6th February 2009
Slut, Lily Electric
4 years after their last musical proof of life ‘All We Need Is Silence’, the German band came back from the dead with ‘Still No.1’ an album most likely no one would have expected of the minimalist and reduced arrangements of its 2004 predecessor. But this album makes unmistakably clear that the time of reduction is over, once and for all. It seems like the band members found a new playground to draw inspirations from. They employed chorals, accordions, musical saws, piano, and the mandatory towering, apocalyptic guitar walls. The result is a scruffy, stubborn, and surreal mighty piece of music hard to describe properly. Maybe it’s best to see and feel it on one of their live shows. One chance you’ll have is at Münster’s Sputnikhalle where they’ll crash on 6th February.

P:lot
The centre of P:LOT’s work is the artistic idea and they’re focussing on getting out the maximum of what they’re aiming for: Maximum lust, maximum guilt, maximum chance, or ‘Mein Name ist’. To get their message out to the public properly they chose music as the suitable means of transportation, specifically for the genre ‘Alternative Pop’. With it the band is spreading on ‘Mein Name ist’ their vision of maximum subversive mind-expansion in 12 chapters. With it, the trio created music, which is, despite serious lyrics and complex harmonies, sprays a basic optimism you hardly find with other artists.

The 3rd Ayria album "Hearts for bullets" has finally been corrected on iTunes Music Store and is now available for purchase in it's entirety! The popular download store had inserted an incorrect version of the release in late 2008 with customers downloading tracks that contained nothing but static and noise. After the band's label Alfa Matrix ( http://www.alfa-matrix.com/ ) reported this issue to iTunes, it took the online store still over a month to remove the faulty release and make the correct tracks available. Alfa Matrix and Ayria would like to apologize for this inconvenience to the fans and ask that those who purchased the incorrect album version (unfortunately several hundred customers were affected) to please contact iTunes to get fully refunded for this. You can now find the correct version of Ayria's "Hearts For Bullets" at the link below: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=293770660&s=143441 - Details
