The First Loves

Marnie

MARNIE machen ROP-MUSIK aber...
"WHO THE F*** IS MARNIE?" „Irgendwann haben wir dieser Stimme im Bauch, die unsere Energie entfacht, den Namen MARNIE gegeben“, so die Sängerin (L)emmy, das quirlige Sprachrohr der jungen Berliner Band. Und das, was die vier Musiker unter diesem Namen vereinen, scheint sie genau in die richtige Richtung zu führen!

Aias

Aias are Gaia, Laia and Miriam. Gaia sings and plays guitar. Laia sings and plays drums and Miriam sings and plays bass. And the three together they try to make songs for anyone else to sing. Pop with distortion, lots of "oooos" and vocal harmonies in in a cave with endless ceilings sung in their native Catalan (not Spanish, mind you!) Aias began as a birthday party band and by surprise ended up being a band for real, or at least that's their current intention.

Party in Hiroshima

www.myspace.com/partyinhiroshima
"Party in Hiroshima make it their job to find a space for delicacy in a nightmare of blast waves and falling debris. A pure but urgent voice floats over a drama of guitar clanging, electronic noise and collapsing rhythms. In their words, this is glitchpop in post-rock. Children of the days of Throwing Muses and Dead Can Dance." (OppositionT) "Electro tinged rock. Girl singer bestrides techy, samples laden riffology.

Whirr

Whirr is the name of at least two artists: 1. With their steady ebb and flow of warm, effects-laden sounds, northern California’s Whirr (Formerly Whirl) give the sounds of 90s shoegaze a widescreen update for the post-millennial era. The young sextet’s walls of lush guitars, breathy vocals, dreamy synth and thunderous drumming propel listening ears into a near-cinematic realm where instantly catchy melodies and emotional, enveloping atmospheres hang perfectly in the balance.
