Vor kurzem riefen wir euch auf, uns eure besten Fotos und Videos des poolbar-Sommers zu schicken mit dem Angebot, diese dann auf dem poolbar-Blog zu veröffentlichen. Hier Nummer 1 der Reihe von Juliane B. mit den Worten "so here they are...my best pics....I loved the lights!" Enjoy:
Juliane hat's vorgemacht und wir wollen mehr! Also her mit euren Fotos an magazin@poolbar.at!
Wer's von den Fans von Buraka Som Sistema noch nicht mitbekommen hat - das Mitape mit dem bedeutungsvollen Titel "Blood Diamond" gibt's zum gratis Download im Netz zu finden und das aus erster Hand und ganz legal:
While you may know Buraka Som Sistema for their fantastic debut album, Black Diamond, or their wild life shows, they actually started out making mashups and bootlegs of their favourite tunes for their infamous Lisbon clubnight, from which they got their name.
Now they're bringing things back to their roots and have pot together the Blood Diamond Mixtape, a fast paced and diverse mix of new material, crazy samples, new guests, mashups from the live set and a bunch of unexpected treats and juxtapositions. According to DJ Lil' John, "it's a different version of an album we would have made if clearing samples wasn't an issue."
Chicks on Speed haben ihre Finger in allen künstlerischen Bereichen und Mode ist dabei nichts Neues. Jetzt präsentieren die Electroclasherinnen neue Hutcreationen nach Entwürfen von Hildegard von Bingen. Hier der Originaltext:
Chicks on Speed present two new hats, made in collaboration with designer Christophe Coppens and Hangar.org, based on illuminated drawings of Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century Christian mystic who received visions, composed ethereal airs, performed healing and even founded convents. These hats transmit the utterances of their wearers by way of microphones and speakers: the contemporary beatified woman can amass her own power tools, it seems.

Madelon Vriesendorp has a foot in both the art and architectural camps, which she bridges with her series of paintings of anthropomorphised buildings lying spent in bed. Vriesendorp's installations, comprising cardboard constructions and found objects, seem to fuse the rarefied metaphysical potential of Giorgio de Chirico with the unlimited facture of the popular imagination. She has collected postcards and objects over the years that have now amassed into a kind of 'super-painting' or 'Archival Tablescape', as architect Charles Jenks describes these vistas. It presents a new world in miniature, ordered by way of very personal classification criteria.
Pelican Avenue was founded by Antwerp-based fashion designer Carolin Lerch. Her clothing, while distinctly wearable, evokes an anachronistic sense of decadence where time, craft and plenitude signal a stand against streamlining. For 'Skyscraper' Lerch has made a wall hanging from printed fabric that, while suggesting computer-generated imagery, seems to describe a plan for the fantastical realm of an enchanted forest or a lost city.
Im Blog ihrer offiziellen Homepage hinterlassen Calexico immer wieder interessante Notes über das derzeitige Bandgeschehen. Letztens aufgetaucht: das poolbar-Festival, bei dem die Herren aus Arizona am 18. Juli für eine ausverkaufte Halle sorgten. Hier der Eintrag von Joey Burns:
Summer Update
July 2009 European Tour went really well. No one got lost or left behind, stuck at any airports or gas stations. We were all really happy with the shows especially the collaborations with Vinicio Capossela, Lambchop, Chris Cacavas and Depedro. Italy was the biggest surprise with some of the most amazing venues; 8th Century Benedictine Abbey of St Mary in Sesto al Reghena and the Villa Arconati in Milano were sublime and left us speechless.
Best bands on the festival circuit goes out to The Notwist at Cactus Festival in Brugges, Portugal The Man in Feldkirch Austria's Poolbar and TV on the Radio at Benicassim Festival in Spain. Best food hands down goes to Milano's Arconati. One of the most impressive festivals was Duisburg's Traumzeit set in a 19th Century factory compound beautifully converted into some of the most stunning visual settings we've seen.
The shows in Finland and Poland were also really special since we rarely, if ever, get to play there. On that note, we are all really looking forward to playing Budhapest and Tel Aviv in August. Thanks to all the people who came out, said hello at the merchandise stand and took photos. Here's to a glorious end of July and see you all in August.
Salud,
Joey

2008 überraschten die Wiener beim A-Day beim poolbar-Festival das anwesende Publikum und vergrößerte seine Fangemeinde im Westen des Landes. Für alle Nichtwiener und -wienerinnen kommen Kreisky mit Frontman Franz Adrian Wenzl (2009 auch als Austrofred auf der poolbar-Bühne) demnächst nach Hohenems. 2008 schrieben wir ins Programm:
"Aus dem Duo Wenzl & Offenhuber wurde Anfang 2005 das Wahlwiener Quartett Kreisky, das künftig (mit Orgel!) präzise Musik, weitgehend fordernd, ohne Angst vor gewollten Schräglagen und querulierenden Noiseausritten, produzieren sollte. Reichlich befriedete harmonische und rhythmische Inseln machen Kreisky bei aller Sperrigkeit überraschend zugänglich, ihre Texte kehren die Unterseite nach oben und fühlen gerne auf bereits verfaulte Zähne. Rockig, dreckig, passt."
Dieser Meinung sind wir immer noch und empfehlen den 4. September beim Transmitter-Festival zu verbringen.
Weitere Tourtermine von Kreisky:
27.8. Timelkam, Bockmas-Festival, OÖ
05.9. Linz, Bellevue
11.9. Hollabrunn, Alter Schlachthof
12.9. Wien, Häferl-Sackgassenfest
