• Massiv in Mensch

With two brand new titles, MASSIV IN MENSCH say goodbye to the year 2018. ‘Verne (Ave Maria)’ is a dance-like piece characterized by striking Electronic Body Music that is impressively interrupted by the classically trained soprano Rana Arborea. The basic musical theme is the composition ‘Ellen’s third song’ from 1825, created by Franz Schubert. With ‘The Shores Of England’ MASSIV IN MENSCH then round off their “100% Offshore Electro” concept. The return to the core themes of the Frisian home come impressively to light here. So the piece can also be called “Electro-Shanty”, you can hear the sounds of ‘Rolling Home’ recurring.

White Lies

For a good ten years, WHITE LIES have been playing their New Wave influenced Post-Punk. No, actually longer, because singer and guitarist Harry McVeigh - whose voice was not quite wrong compared to JOY DIVISION’s Ian Curtis - bassist Charles Cave and drummer and keyboardist Jack Lawrence-Brown know each other from school and played under the name FEAR OF FLYING. But a new musical direction called for a renaming, under the new name WHITE LIES they released their style debut album ‘To Lose My Life...’ in 2009 and reached directly the top position in the British charts.

The Streets - “The darker the shadow the brighter the light, part 2” Tour 2019

Mike Skinner is back and ‘Fit But You Know It’. This is known at least since the sold-out concert in Berlin’s Heimathafen club last April. It was followed by all enthusiastically acclaimed reunion shows in the UK, France and the Netherlands, where THE STREETS presented numerous songs from their now legendary back catalog for first time since 2011 live on stage, such as ‘A Grand Do not Come For Free’, ‘Everything Is Borrowed’, ‘The Hardest Way To Make Presented to Easy Living’ or ‘Original Pirate’. In recent months, Mike Skinner not only released five new songs, but is currently working on a new album, which is also the soundtrack to his new film project. Something’s going on at THE STREETS and that’s why Mike Skinner is finally putting the band back on the road in February 2019. The “The darker the shadow the brighter the light, part 2” tour will also include a show in Cologne.
