Smash the drum-bucket-afro kit and play the guitar.
5 days in the boomy room... with my favorite pet.
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.

Being the last offshoot of the French Revolution and the Ages of Enlightment,
the ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB goes its most sensible step: Retreat!
“Lay down the illusion of a representative majority!” (Christopher Schön,
on the 12th of June, 1983)
“Cosmopolitans, lay down the heavy coat of universalism, it doesn’t fit the
world and it is itchy like hell!” (Martin Ketelhut, on the 5th of June, 1985).
In its non-representative function the ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB is mostly exercising
a nomadic tradition of the mosaic. Not holding on to one theme, form or style,
the ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB is like an amoeba. It invites to get gobbled up
from all around, to become stranger and doing so, to honour an everlasting formation.
In the permanent process of becoming, for the ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB there is nothing
else to do but stepping aside from identity.
TARENTATEC (Dresden)
www.tarentatec.de /
www.myspace.com/tarentatec
Rising from hypnotic sessions, a motley collection of different song
structures evolves. In the diverting to epic songs of Tarentatec you can find
elements of postrock, stoner, noise, psychedelic, elektronika and jazz,
which they interweave intuitively anew.
The trio/quartet/big-band oscillates between widescreen sound and minimalism;
instrumental short stories and dry rock'n'rolling; snapshot and steamroller.
Musical patterns are being reflected by all members – own ways within rock music
are being explored. Besides, the way of Tarentatec, if there is any direction,
is always a tightrope walk between convention and the unreserved search for freedom.
Regarding content, Tarentatec is the muddled look at their own environment,
the contradictions and doubts, but also the affectionate consideration of friendship
and pleasure – in a constant dialog between head and belly.
THREE STEPS TO THE OCEAN (Milano)

Three Steps to The Ocean's project is born in January 2006.
Andrea, Davide, Andrea and Francesco spent all their time playing into their cube,
moulding their musical intentions, results of their expression and experiences.
Call it Postrock or Postmetal… you are probably right. We call it “beautiful”.
OSIS KRULL (Planet: Osis Krull, Temporary residence: Dresden)
www.myspace.com/osiskrull
From the still here rather unknown planet Osis Krull these four intergalactic Bollos
have run aground on strange planet earth trying to reach after a possibility again home.
In addition they try to unearth as much as possible Möpp, their quite special fuel.
It is almost too easy to classify the musical style of Osis Krull:
It seems they got stuck in between Jazz, Rock, Country, Postrock, Doom, Porno,
Stoner, Latin, Math, Pop, Metal, Polka and Schlager, so you better remember
this melange going by the name STARKROCK.
GNARLEDBIKERS (Jena)
www.larslars.de / Gnarledbikers refuse to have a MySpace-Page
Jazz-percussions meet the Fender Rhodes. Krishan Zeigner and Lars Mäurer
(both also in Charlie Bucket Trio&, Wise In Time and Feindrehstar) are like
one musical organ, creating groovy complex and improvised jazz-hop-tunes.
Find yourself in trance or nodding your head.
