Welcome aboard: DON VITO
We’re happy to give ourselves an early Christmas gift. Don Vito, the noiserock-thunderstorm from Leipzig, and Discorporate join forces.
Right in the midst of their China-Tour (!!!) they contacted us (while we were in the United States… god bless the globalization) and after taking a sip of water and breathing some fresh air, we said “Hell, yes!!!”.
In April 2010 Discorporate will release their new longplayer “IV” with ten new songs in a 180gms 12” vinyl (incl. a CD of the songs). Believe us, you’ll be blown away by the sheer vehemence and conciseness of these pieces.
"It’s like getting a beating from a ball lightning."

ROKKO takes the gloves off
You might have recognized that we offer the fabulous Austrian magazine ROKKO'S ADVENTURES in our shop for cheap.
Until not every kiosk in Europe has this in stock (at least in Austria it's available everywhere now... congrats!), we continue. ROKKO has released two new issues. The first one is a special issue in english language that focuses on one band: THE MELVINS. Rokko wrote his thesis in musicology about them and the issue is filled with lots of interesting information, interviews and theories.
The second one is Rokko's Adventures No. 6, including a fine cd-sampler of the amazing label/collective KNERTZ from West Germany. It also features a superb poster of the Austrian band BUL BUL and lots of articles, reviews and stories about music, arts, science, animals and blablablubbs.
Get them in our shop, don't waste your time reading blogs or these "news".
After 6 weeks of touring Europe and after the release of a new longplayer on Exile On Mainstream, Jari and André don't think about taking a break.
They have launched a new homepage (yeah, there is more than MySpace out there) with lots of infos and stuff you might find interesting.
Apart from that they already have plans for 2010, including a Scandinavian and Eastern Europe Tour... and the release of a new Discorporate-special-5" with two new songs.
The amazing show of DŸSE and SCHNAAK in Jena (Kassablanca, Dec 4th) was recorded by Mureis Industries with 6 cameras and you can expect a release in 2010 too.
ZAPPANALE FESTIVAL 2010
Discorporate is happy to run the Truckstage at ZAPPANALE next year again. Confirmed bands so far are: ZA! (Barcelona), CAPILLARY ACTION (New York), BUL BUL (Vienna), OSIS KRULL (Osis Krull), JONNY'N & THE COSMIC ROLLERCOASTER (Berlin, feat. Grinni), TARENTATEC play AUFRICHTIGES ZAPPA (Dresden) and CABALLERO REYNALDO (Valencia). ZAPPANALE (new homepage)
YES!!! IT WILL HAPPEN!

Jon Pfeffer's "LICORICE" + Skeletons-Big-Band in New York
This sunday, December 6th, those people who are fortunate to live in NEW YORK CITY have the opportunity to witness a very special night.
Capillary Action's trombone whiz Sam Kulik is curating The Stone (this is the club of a guy named JOHN ZORN) for the first half of December.
Sam graciously invited Capillary Action's mastermind Jonathan Pfeffer to take part in the festivities. Since they will share the bill with the amazing (!!!) SKELETON$ in their big band format, Jon thought he'd cook up something special for the occasion as well.
So, Jon is premiering the first two sections from a new large ensemble piece LICORICE for piano, accordion, contrabass, hammered dulcimer, two violins, cello, trombone, trumpet, two flutes, oboe, tenor sax, two alto voices, one tenor and two percussionists that night.
In addition to a few familiar Cap-Action faces (Spencer, Sam and Ricardo), there are some amazing musicians taking part in the "LICORICE"-performance:
Mike Gallope- Piano, Accordion
Spencer Russell- Contrabass
Jeff Young- Violin
Rebecca Schlappich- Violin
Caleigh Drane- Cello
Max Zbiral-Teller- Hammered Dulcimer
Sam Kulik- Trombone
Tim Byrnes- Trumpet
Zachary Crystal- Percussion
Ricardo Lagomasino- Percussion
Leah Paul- Flute
Martha Cargo- Flute
Johnny Butler- Tenor Sax
Karisa Werdon- Oboe
Danielle Khulmann- Alto Voice
Nicole Rallis- Alto Voice
TBA- Tenor Voice
Sunday, December 6th
@ The Stone - www.thestonenyc.com
Corner of Ave C and 2nd Street
10pm / All Ages / $10
This special show will be recorded, no worries.
There are some vague plans to release "LICORICE" in the future. Maybe a nice EP. Who knows?

DISCORPORATE goes JAPAN
We’re happy to announce that the fine label/distributor MOOR WORKS (Anathallo, Oneida, Parts&Labor etc.) will license the releases of THE SEASON STANDARD, THE ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB and CAPILLARY ACTION in Japan. Hooray!
ALTIN VILLAGE & DISCORPORATE join forces
It’s unbelievable… since 7 years we live in Dresden and we didn’t know about Altin Village all the time and they didn’t know about us. We had the chance to meet each other some weeks ago for the first time… love at first sight. We strongly recommend checking out this awesome DIY-Vinyl-Label from Dresden at altinvillage.de. In the future we’ll work together on local shows… and now the first record-collaboration is about to happen:
End of March 2010 Discorporate releases the amazing dark folk album “Suckle at the Supple Teats of Time” by DEAD WESTERN on cd. Altin Village will release the vinyl-version! Booking (tour in June/July 2010) and promotion will be done by Southern Germany.
In our eyes this is an awesome alliance… expect some great things from Altin Village and Discorporate in the future… and check out DEAD WESTERN.
NICE PRICE @ Discorporate Shop
We slowly pay our tribute to the financial crisis and that’s why we make it easier for you to purchase Discorporate-releases. Take a look at our SHOP!

THE PATH TO NEW GILBATHIN
Good things come to those who wait.
Since many years this children's tale was growing in the head of Martin Ketelhut. Fragments and little pieces of this moving story about the two brothers Elias and Gilbathin are to be found in every little inch of every little Zonnhaider's Club song. It's always been the dream of Martin to bring the pieces together and with the help of friends (amongst others the paintress Katharina Sieg and bandmate Christoph Höfferl) he finally realized "The Path To New Gilbathin". Produced and directed by Martin Ketelhut at Bauhaus-University Weimar for Experimental Radio.
Although "The Path To New Gilbathin" is in english (spoken by Germans... even kids who don't speak english), you have the opportunity to watch it with German subtitles.
In addition to the radio play The Zonnhaider's Club is about to record "Gilbathin's Opera", an album of 10 songs that refer to the radio play's story and moods. These songs are sung by the protagonists Elias (Christopher Schön) and Gilbathin (Cornelius Ochs, www.myspace.com/connyochs) themselves. "Gilbathin's Opera" will be released in 2010 at Discorporate Records, featuring the paintings of Katharina Sieg and the music of Martin Ketelhut.
September 3rd 2009
Welcome aboard: DEAD WESTERN
We open a new chapter of this crazy adventure called Discorporate. Sometimes coincidents make this world a brighter place.
Not even two weeks ago our dear friend Jon Pfeffer (Capillary Action) wrote me a mail expressing his admiration for this guy from Sacramento, California.
I probably can’t express this moment when I saw this live-video of Dead Western. It was a mixture of numbness, trance, anxiety and pure rapture. The atmosphere and voice of Troy Mighty transport something I’ve never heard before, but in the same time speaks a language that we understand or at least pretend to understand very clear. Freedom to Chaos?
Therefore Discorporate, a label that seems to be devoted to Noise, Math and Jazz, is endlessly happy to announce the signing of this intense American band that you could describe as “Deep dark psychedelic folk”. Troy - the singer, songwriter and mastermind behind Dead Western - was such a sweetheart from the beginning of our contact. He seems to share the same visions, the same strange balance between despair and hope, melancholy and joy, sensitivity and strength... it feels like meeting an old friend from another world.
„Soften Your Screams Into Sings“ is the name of the latest record of Dead Western. This pretty much gives the idea of what it’s all about.
Troy Mighty has already recorded a new full-length record with the help of Kevin Corcoran (percussion), Caley Monahon-Ward of "Extra Life" (violin) and Jesse Phillips (bass guitar). This record will be released by Discorporate in Spring 2010 under the name “Suckle at the Supple Teats of Time”. We had the pleasure to prelisten the new songs... no doubt: This is something special. In the same period we already plan some touring in the Old World, to be announced soon.
ZAPPANALE FESTIVAL – Discorporate Invasion From August 12th-16th this lovely festival, dedicated to the work and art of Frank Zappa and located at the beautiful Baltic Sea, has to deal with an invasion of Discorporate Freaks.
…Schnaak, The Season Standard, Zarboth, Tarentatec, The Zonnhaider’s Club, Osis Krull and Gnarled Bikers. We are happy to host our friends Mukra, Beagl Vieh, Christian Buchmann, Tonlast and many more on our stage as well.
The mainstage will feature some interesting acts as well: WeInsist (yay!!!), Terry Bozzio, Gong, Sebkha Chott, Project/Object and The Grandmothers for example. www.zappanale.de
DŸSE – New Album / Tour / Metall After the two guys have betrayed EXILE ON MAINSTREAM RECORDS with a badass 5”-release at Discorporate, DŸSE finally release their second longplayer on their mothership.
“Lieder sind Brüder der Revolution” will be released October 9th 2009 on Exile On Mainstream / Southern Records. We had the pleasure to prelisten the stuff… and guess what: It’s amazing, thrilling and funny at the same time.
But as betrayal never ends, we already got plans for another 5”-release, to come in 2010. It’ll be called “Metall” and it’s gonna suck, as usual.
DŸSE will promote “Lieder sind Brüder der Revolution” with a big Europe-Tour:
08.10. GER Osnabrück, Bastard Skate Hall WTR Festival (w/ Celan, Ulme) 09.10. NL Eindhoven, Dynamo Club WTR Festival (w/ Celan, Ulme) 10.10.

READ THIS!
I never liked “Portugal. The Man”… until I saw them live at a great festival (La Pampa). It was amazing! Nevermind, I want you to read a blog that I found on their MySpace
That’s all for today we continue.
P.S.: Summer, if you read this. You suck!

DISCORPORATE-Feature in Rokko's Adventures
We're psyched to tell you that Discorporate is featured in No.1 Underground-Magazine ROKKO'S ADVENTURES from Vienna. There's a funny interview with us versus our mates of Marbach Recordz and the mag also includes our lovely labelsampler. For ridiculous 3€ you can buy it in our shop.

In Autumn and Winter SCHNAAK will come back for World Championship Tour Pt. II (US-Tour with Altamira) and Pt. III (Europe-Tour with DŸSE).
June 5th 2009
SCHNAAK "women on ships..." out now!
"women on ships are bad luck" is the name of this cute little CD and it's available in Shops now.
Schnaak play unique Experimental Noiserock – with a weird blend of funny Jazz-licks, strange African rhythms and an incredibly tight Hardcore-energy… two-piece-madness somewhere between Hella, Captain Beefheart, Battles and Sun Ra. With an army of percussions and a guitar, these two guys created something totally annoying with a sweet aftertaste.
Schnaak will celebrate the release of "women on ships..." with a "World Championship Tour" in three parts: This June they will collide with Tarentatec and Mukra for some shows in Germany, in October they'll destroy the US-Eastcoast with Altamira and in November they'll unite with the mighty DŸSE for a nasty Europe-Tour.
Buy "women on ships are bad luck" at our shops, your local dealer or at one of Schnaak's crazy shows!
May 1st 2009
CAPILLARY ACTION "So Embarrassing" out now!
Today marks the release of the first Discorporate-record from these supertalented maniacs from New York City. "So Embarrassing", Capillary Action's third album, is a genre-transcender that will blow you away as much as it'll will leave you blessed and joyful. 11 masterpieces and an army of crazy musicians (incl. a string-, percussion- and brass-section) guide you through the celestial compositions of Jonathan Pfeffer.
The eastcoast of the United States has become the home and headquarter of a fascinating young scene of supernatural bands and personalities. Capillary Action is not only one of them, together with bands like The Dirty Projectors, Pattern Is Movement, Extra Life or Icy Demons they are the spearhead of this movement.
Capillary Action are still on a 3-month-tour through Europe (where people slowly become aware of this sensational movement) in an acoustic-quintet, with first Germany-shows in mid-May, and after coming back they immediately tour the states with Les Claypool (Primus).
Get a copy of "So Embarrassing" (our nomination for "Album of the Year - worldwide") at our shop, your local dealer or at an amazing live-show of them Capillaries.
April 24th 2009

ZARBOTH out now!!!
The invasion of the mad Frenchman! As of today our catalogue will be enriched by a CD of two musicians from Paris, going by the name of Zarboth.
ZARBOTH: It's a free-noise-metal-jazz mix of whatever; it's whenever; it's cities, fields, rain, shoes, sun, water, laughter, east, yeast, night, love, Paris, German beer, cigarettes from anywhere; everywhere; friends, and from Pantera to Bill Frisell then beyond... Yes, dear people! Another crazy duo and a HELLA lot of fun!
Get a grab on that fantastic debut now at our Shop, your local dealer or live-shows of Zarboth and/or WeInsist!

SHOP: Rokko's Adventures / Preorders
Now available in the sweet, tiny and strictly commercial Discorporate-Shop: ROKKO'S ADVENTURES!
This Fanzine from Vienna with the subtitle "Menschen, Tiere, Sensationen" is packed with stories about music culture (focus on noise/avantgarde), literature, science, modern art and lots of edgy stuff. Rokko's Adventures is simply the best unordinary magazine that we know - excellent writing, black humor and a brave DIY-spirit - you can get it for peanuts in our shop. Rokko's Homepage
Apart from this, you can now preorder the two new splendid Discorporate-releases at the Shop:
Oh my god! What can we say... German Noisecore-Duo No. 1 just signed to Discorporate.
DŸSE, probably the best live band in the world, is a phenomenon in the scene for years now. Just with drums, guitar and their voices those two folks from Jena (Jari, formerly in Rodeo Queen) and Chemnitz (André, formerly in Volt) transmute every venue into a drop of sweat within seconds. An unbelievable amount of energy and fun on stage... and simply the most stunning exposure of the ABC in twisted Noisecore.
We are extremely happy to work with DŸSE as we are big fans of them and became friends immediately. Expect the release of very special items in Spring 2009.
You don't know DŸSE? Haha, well -> CLICK!
[IMPORTANT NOTE: DŸSE still releases major outputs with our friends and partners of Exile On Mainstream Records. There was no coup or betrayal! Discorporate "just" releases special things like Vinyl or DVD.]

Welcome aboard: CAPILLARY ACTION
People, you can’t believe how much joy and enthusiasm flew through the Discorporate-headquarters the last days.
We are extremely proud and challenged to sign US-Band CAPILLARY ACTION and release their music in Europe. This breathtaking group (based in Philadelphia and New York) released two acclaimed and complety different records so far and plays with an ever-rotating cast of characters. The only constant, Mastermind Jonathan Pfeffer, is 22 years (!) old... but he already composes some of the most stimulating music in contemporary experimental rock: Free Jazz horns and Brazilian rhythms intersect with sweetly crooned vocals and the ferocity of a raging rockband.
The band has toured endlessly the last two years, mainly through the USA and Europe, playing over 300 shows alongside Shudder To Think, Joe Lally (Fugazi), Ruins, Dos, Daughters and 31Knots.
Expect the release of their third masterpiece “So Embarrassing”, followed by a three-month-Europe-Tour, in Spring 2009. And now… CHECK THEM OUT and FALL TO YOUR KNEES -> CLICK!
November 24th 2008
OSIS KRULL have a guitar-player Yes yes... Christian Buchmann, accidental guitarist of Subjazzed-Strongrock-Outfit OSIS KRULL, actually plays classical guitar. This strange dude just finished his exams in "Guitar Worldmusic" and on YouTube you can watch some videos of his amazing stuff: WATCH HERBERT HALL!
By the way... the next live dates of Osis Krull:
Nov28 - WUPPERTAL (U-Club)
Nov29 - ESSEN (Panic Room)
Dec05 - LEIPZIG (Four Rooms)
Jan31 - LEIPZIG (G16)

Welcome aboard: ZARBOTH
Discorporate Records is happy to announce the signing of French band ZARBOTH. Actually a project of our dear friend Etienne Gaillochet (of We Insist!) with Phil Reptil (of Osteti), this Paris-based duo is going to settle down in our cosy shelter for the weird and wicked.
ZARBOTH's plans include the release of a Debut-CD in 2009 (in cooperation with Exile On Mainstream Records) and some touring of course. You'll have the opportunity to see their "maiden voyage" in January 2009, when they support The Season Standard and Schnaak live in France. Be prepared and check them out here.
September 24th 2008
THE SEASON STANDARD-News "Squeeze Me Ahead Of Line" will be released November 18th 2008 in the USA via our friends of Unsung Records (Ryko Distribution / Warner Music). Release dates for the rest of Europe and Japan coming soon...
The booking for the TSS-Winter-Tour is almost complete. The four guys will do some shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with an amazing visual-show and with the help of SCHNAAK (in January) and ZARBOTH (in France). Be there!
ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB-News After the release of the "Galao EP" we heard not much of the Club. Christoph's been in Shanghai to have some solo-gigs over there, Christopher has been seen last in Moldova and Zonnhaider-Founder Martin is involved in several other projects. That is called "creative intermission", yes.
SCHNAAK-News The two twins Mathias and Johannes schedule the release of their Debut-EP "Wo gefischt wird, da sind auch Möwen" (Live in Berlin) for early 2009, followed by tours in Europe and the USA later next year. Before that they join THE SEASON STANDARD on their Winter-Tour in January.
TARENTATEC-News Like THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB also Tarentatec are going to have a little break. Due to reasons like studies, other projects and creativity the founding member of Discorporate will take a rest until next spring. In a complete new lineup and with new songs the guys are preparing a little tour in 2009 and also the recording of another longplayer.

"The Video Experience" online!
Formerly part of the Tour-Edition on DVD, we can now present you "The Video Experience" for a limited period. This 27-minute-documentary/film about TARENTATEC and OSIS KRULL has been made by our dear friend MUREIS, who put together live-stuff, rehearsal material, video-art and many beautiful outtakes. We love the way he did it! This film (part of "The Candy and Springtime Experience"-Split-CD) has been divided in 4 parts. You can watch the parts here:
Keep in mind that the original DVD includes nice extras and beautiful packaging. There are some copies of the limited Tour-Edition (CD + DVD) left. Just drop us a line and you can purchase the package for only 12€.
Btw: Tour was great. Many pictures and silly video-footage of TARENTATEC, OSIS KRULL and SCHNAAK soon to come.

TARENTATEC + OSIS KRULL - The Candy and Springtime Experience (SPLIT-CD Release: May 16th 2008 on Discorporate)
And here we go further into the Discorporate-release-blast!
In precisely one month a Split-CD hits the market - this might be the soundtrack of our small world. TARENTATEC and their unequal twins OSIS KRULL have got together, hanging around with lots of friends and making music. The result is a fully packed (more than 78 minutes!) Split-CD fraught with superlatives. Five Tarentatec songs, Five Osis Krull songs and a heap of playful fragments are to be heard on THE CANDY AND SPRINGTIME EXPERIENCE.
More spirit, more variety and more love to music is simply not possible.
18 songs were recorded, a 8-piece booklet supplies you with visual information about the fuckheads and the Special Edition (strictly limited!) contains a Video-CD with live concerts, outtakes and videos from the life of the Discorporate collective. This CD is a must!
For 10€ you can preorder the Split-CD of the millennium HERE. First impressions to be heard here and here.

THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB - GALAO EP (Out May 3rd 2008 on Discorporate)
Our tender darlings of THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB put the beginning in the Discorporate-spring-offensive. Growing from a duet to a quartet, they impressively are giving their flood of ideas a garment with this beautiful Mini-CD.
5 (in length as well as in claim) radiounsuitable songs accommodates the GALAO EP and already the first tones pull the listener in that world which he had to leave at the end of "The Forthcoming Spring". Wonderful pop music between electroacoustics, jazz and indie. Playful and unwieldy jewels. Sometimes sanguine and naive, sometimes also meager, melancholy and gloomily. That the elegant dreariness of the debut album is enriched now by two musicians is to be recognized clearly. More colorfully and more courageously THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB does what he does.
The GALAO EP is now available (one month before release) as a PREORDER in our shop.
First impressions on the music HERE.
THE SEASON STANDARD and THREE STEPS TO THE OCEAN on Tour!
Discorporate Records, Finestnoise, Radar Radio, Church Of Noise, Metalnews.de and Forgotten Empire Records happily announce that our italian friends THREE STEPS TO THE OCEAN and Discorporate-Blockbuster THE SEASON STANDARD will go on a little mini-tour through Germany (and Prague).
For The Season Standard it is the first live-activity since 5 months and they use these dates as a little warm-up in preparation of their release-shows in May and June (more news about this soon). For Three Steps To The Ocean it’s the first visit in Germany ever!
Don’t miss this lovely package. The dates:
New (old) Discorporate-artist!: SCHNAAK
We are proud to announce the signing of a new family-member:
SCHNAAK
has reached us by night. Evolved from a foggy crackpot-idea, Johannes Döpping (Tarentatec, Osis Krull) and Mathias Jähnig (The Season Standard) join forces to create a monstrous noise-duo. In just a few days last week the two have recorded (in a beautiful crappy way) 5 songs in a muddy rehearsal-room in Dresden. Even if the actual idea was to jam a bit together to have some variation from their main-bands, you may reckon on an EP this year, as well as several live-activities.
Get ready for a riff’n’break-inferno!

Changes in the Z-Club
With Maria Schwerdtner the fourth official bandmember gets into the vehicle of THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB - the first feminine

Apart from that the four work on their upcoming EP, to be released in May. Also first touches on the big big project for 2009 (Audiobook + CD)
has been made. We are looking forward with anticipation to what will happen.

TSS - First impression
Some days ago...
THE SEASON STANDARD - back from the studio, directly from the couch at home.
Giving the beloved label-boss a call. Giving him a secret link.
A click with shaky hands and a listen to the first premixes of the upcoming record.
First impression: Overwhelming!
After a dozen listening sessions: Boundless rapture!
Speechless...
Now the 9 constructs will be shipped to Scotland, where Denis Blackham (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Talk Talk etc.) will master
and refine the album. Get ready, people!
