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.

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€.

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 next shows:

03.05.2008 - JENA - Glashaus (Record-Release-Gig)
06.06.2008 - JENA - Caleidospheres
29.08.2008 - LAUSITZ - Transnaturale Festival

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!

February 7th 2008

Changes in the Z-Club
With Maria Schwerdtner the fourth official bandmember gets into the vehicle of THE ZONNHAIDER'S CLUB - the first feminine member of the Discorporate-Squad! We are very pleased - she'll give the Club yet another dimension, providing vocals, bass and other instruments.
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!

TARENTATEC vs. OSIS KRULL: Split-CD (Release: May 16th, 2008)



The two Starkrock-Pioneers of Discorporate Records are just recording a split album. As guest musician they have Lars Mäurer (e.g. Charlie Bucket Trio, Wise In Time, Feindrehstar) on organ and keys in company.
Of course, joint venture jam-sessions and a lot of funny or silly outtakes are planned for this release which will be published as “Mailorder only".
The TarentOsis-Loveclub plans to tour the villages of Germany in May, too. Prepare for some "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Atmosphere!"

Drum-Diploma with Don Voyeuringer
On November 14th, Johannes Döpping aka „Josen“ aka „Jochen“ aka „The holy Jochensis of Nazareth“ aka „Jöringer“ aka „Don Voyeuringer“ aka Drummer of TARENTATEC, OSIS KRULL and AUFRICHTIGES ZAPPA will perform his exam concert at Club Puschkin (Dresden, Germany). This gig is the graduation of his studies (Diploma “Drums Jazz/Rock/Pop”) under the observation of a jury (e.g. the legendary Günter „Baby“ Sommer). Johannes won’t play a Fusion-Solo-Ego-Set, instead he wi ’ll present his bands TARENTATEC and OSIS KRULL (feat. Lars Mäurer) and some live visuals to the audience. Come along!

THE FORTHCOMING SPRING – Digital Release
The dark piece of art of THE ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB has been released on digital by IAPETUS. You can download single songs or the whole album in almost every online store.

THE ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB and TARENTATEC on FinestNoise-Sampler
On the forthcoming issue of the annual BLUNOISE-Sampler “FinestNoise” there will be two Discorporate-Features: TARENTATEC with the song “Lizard” and THE ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB with the song “Treatment Of The Past”.

TARENTATEC want to get rid of their songs!
While planning for a hopefully spectacular release in 2008, the boys were wondering what to do with the old stuff. Wait until somebody buys them? Noooo. We don’t have that much time.
So they decided to give them away for all the nerds out there and FOR FREE.
Each 1st and 15th of the month TARENTATEC will place two new old songs on their MySpace which can be downloaded in good quality. The songs will be uploaded chronologically. Today they put “Tarentatec” and “Bullfight” (from the debut) on their MySpace.
So, don’t miss the chance to get the whole back-catalogue of TARENTATEC for free!!! (the guys must be insane)

Jubilance, Joy, Anticipation

Markus Reuter

The Season Standard

Semiotext

With loads of eager anticipation and confidence we are proud to announce that THE SEASON STANDARD are in the midst of the work on their promising upcoming debut.

Here you go wit some interesting information about this spectacular release:

• Producer will be no other then MARKUS REUTER – multi instrumentalist, producer and member of a.o. TUNER (with King-Crimson-Drummer Pat Mastelotto) and CENTROZOON; his biography contains endless collaborations (as musician or producer/mixer) with a.o. Tim Bowness (No-Man), Bill Munyon, Ulver, the King-Crimson-Field, Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree, Japan), Ian Boddy... to only name a few
• Release in Europe will be carried out by DISCORPORATE; in the USA, UNSUNG will be responsible

More plans for 2008
THE ZONNHAIDER’S CLUB are already working on the follow-up for “The Forthcoming Spring” (Summer/Autumn 2008); TARENTATEC want to make “finally one cool record” (Summer/Autumn 2008) and who knows if OSIS KRULL or the CHARLIE BUCKET TRIO & are going to pre-empt them. Furthermore we are planning to release DISCORPORATE-SAMPLER in the beginning of 2008.

Worldwide Digital-Distribution
Iapetus GmbH will take over the worldwide Online- and Digital-Distribution for all Discorporate-Releases. We are very pleased about that, because they do an excellent work and have our full confidence.
