Reflections of Darkness - Music Magazine - Preview DISCO ENSEMBLE

Details: Written by: Sebastian Huhn; Published: 20 September 2008

Matrix, Bochum, Germany
10th October 2008
Disco Ensemble, Lapko

When Disco stands on the package, then one could mean there’s dancing inside, but at times the dance floor can be a dangerous place. Where young people, densely packed, let their emotions run wild, where the strobe lights flicker and the tension is tangible, the air electrifies. Mikka Kovisto, front man of DISCO ENSEMBLE would prefer this atmosphere over dance steps under the disco ball, over ABBA and ERASURE; just pure Punk Rock.

But ‘First Aid Kit’, the second album of the Finnish four-piece, is a different calibre, it is Punk Rock with a strong emphasis on the ‘Rock’: wild, reckless, haunting, but most of all restless and with all aggressiveness consistently positive as singer Mikka points out.“ Lyric-wise it’s about not to look back; it’s about surviving”, “To deal with the odds of life and to fight against them”. That’s what DISCO ENSEMBLE is about.

Starting with the 28th September, DISCO ENSEMBLE tour through Germany again for a few dates and on 10th October their journey leads them to the Matrix in Bochum, but they won’t come alone. As a special guest they’ll bring their fellow countrymen LAPKO to fairly boost the audience.
