Sun, 02 Dec 2012 08:26:00 -0800 Tour announcement !!! http://orangeswan.posterous.com/tour-announcement http://orangeswan.posterous.com/tour-announcement

ON TOUR IN JANUARY 2013

L
03.01: Berlin, Jägerklause

04.01: Hamburg, Rote Flora

05.01: Duisburg, Djäzz

06.01: Witten, Treff

... all dates with ANDROID EMPIRE & SONIC BOOZE MACHINE
Check them out:

ANDROID EMPIRE:

Founded in 2004 by the former SHEPHERD, ANDROID EMPIRE’s musical heritage lies in the vibrant doom and stoner scene of the early 2000s.

The first, self-titled demo that was released in early 2008 clearly showed that the band is well able to move beyond genre limits: Presenting a gritty and powerful mixture of sludge, stoner rock, and traditional metal elements, the CD did not only bring the band numerous enthusiastic reviews (incl. “Demo of the Month” at VISIONS Fanzine) but also support shows for bands like BARONESS, PELICAN and KYLESA.

listen: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=iPKN_PVltiA


SONIC BOOZE MACHINE:

SONIC BOOZE MACHINE - activated 2007 in Berlin - produces a varied and high-proof blend of heavy, riff-oriented and intoxicating music. Referring to a wide range of influences from Metal, Doom, Hardcore and Rock'n'Roll the four-piece steamrolls its very own way across several genre terrains. Plenty of live shows, particularly within the DIY scene as well as the debut EP "Call of the Dead Horse" (2008) have proven that. While refusing to stick to a certain (sub)genre the band never had the artsy-fartsy intention to "innovate" heavy music.

listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1r9SYyuw-Y  

... And a video from our last show in the Denkodrom:
Including a strange drum sound, bizarre music/picture out of time shifting and some "Spielfehlers of Sexyness des Unperfekten" ;)

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:02:00 -0700 First Review, Next Shows & Stuff http://orangeswan.posterous.com/first-review-next-shows-stuff http://orangeswan.posterous.com/first-review-next-shows-stuff

With a view to the Sous Les Pavés Labelfest, which take place 29.09. at Druckluft / Oberhausen, Aponaut just reviewed our tape "ORANGE SWAN live". And we are VERY happy about that!

[review:] 

 Orange Swan ist eine dreiköpfige Instrumental-Band, die sich, wenn man schon kategorisieren muss, irgendwo zwischen Post-Rock, Dark Ambient, Drone, Shoegaze und Doom Metal verorten lässt. Stattdessen kann man sich aber auch das vorliegende Live Tape anhören und einfach mal gucken was da kommt. Die 4 Songs wurden auf einem Konzert im Druckluft Oberhausen aufgenommen – und die Aufnahmequalität ist wirklich richtig gut, viel besser als man von einem Live Tape vielleicht erwarten würde. Während ein treibendes, Tom-betontes Schlagzeug lebendig vor sich hin groovt, bauen die beiden Gitarren, die durch diverse Effektpedale gejagt und gelegentlich auch mal mit Geigenbögen gespielt werden, durch ruhige, verträumte Melodien und Feedbacks die Songs langsam und wirkungsvoll auf, lassen träumen und sich in der Musik verlieren – um dann zwischendurch gelegentlich mit fetten Riffs durchzubrechen und einen aus der entspannten Trance, in die man gerade abgeglitten war, zu reissen – und Begeisterung zu entfachen.

Durch diese Mischung, die aber nie abgehackt wirkt, sondern smooth den Übergang von Part zu Part geschehen lässt, schaffen Orange Swan was in den oben genannten Genres nur wenigen gelingt – nie langweilig zu werden, sondern immer fesselnd zu sein. Sich die Band, die alles andere als spielfaul ist, selbst mal live anzusehen, ist hiermit wärmstens empfohlen – denn was auf dem Tape ein kurzweiliges Vergnügen ist, kann live schon mal ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis werden. Auf den weiteren Werdegang von Orange Swan kann man durchaus gespannt sein, und ich wünsche auf diesem Weg alles Gute. - mink

Thank you, dear Aponaut ;) You can also read the tape review (which features some other slp releases too) at the Aponaut blog: http://www.aponaut.org/index.php?/archives/22875-Sous-Les-Paves-Labelpreview.html  [if there are any problems with the url copy the code]
