A long time ago I was working on a pitch pack for an IP I was creating. Unfortunately, the pack is only about 70% complete, but I’d love to get back to it. I last touched these characters about 6 years ago, but I thought they’d be fun to share. Blade dude and dude with the gun designed by the handsome @frogbillgo . The rest by me. #scifi #cyberpunk #funpunk #futuristicfighters (at Barcelona, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALKzaOhELo/?igshid=1kdpdmedmo7u9

Underwater DJ ET can't wait to see @peelanderz this Thursday at @recordbar. This is our only KC performance all year. Come see a very pregnant Tessa and an adorable 3-yr-old Elbie rock out silly songs with me. Hope to see you.

Beginners Guide To German Punkrock

See, I’ve been getting into german punk the past few months, which is pretty great, since we have a lot of great punk bands.

Please note that most of these bands will be the big ones who do more “mainstream” punk, since it’s easier for punklings* to get into and you can make your way down from them!

-Dritte Wahl: They’re one of THE big names in the german punk rock scene and were founded in 1986 in Rostock at the Baltic Sea. I personally don’t know any punk who doesn’t know of them or loves Dritte Wahl. They’re vocally antifascist (duh…)  and anti-system for the most part.

Advice from my mum: Do not go into the front pit at a Dritte Wahl show unless you are absolutely prepared to get hurt. Advice from me: Listen to her, I’ve been punched in the face several times and had a huge bruise on my face after moshing.

Songs to absolutely check out are:

Auge um Auge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYk21zFblX4)

-Die Ärzte: They’re actually kind of really mainstream and not that punk (anymore), except for the early stuff, Planet Punk, 1 2 3 4 Bullenstaat and 5 6 7 8 Bullenstaat. No matter what, german punks usually still love them (except they’re die hard Tote Hosen fans..**) and sing along to what is essentially Spaszpunk.

Still, they hate nazis as much as the next guy and don’t like to fit in. And.. don’t be fooled by their “dad attitude”.

Advice from my stepdad: Everything before the 90s is good.

Songs to absolutely check out:

Schrei nach Liebe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X9CEi8wkBc)

+ theres also a cover version by Callejon to check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FnaWw7Mk8c

Zu spät (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkHP0661TiA)

Junge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xogurSONM0)

Fahnenflucht: Fahnenflucht is one of the more “underground” bands, but still largely known. They got founded in 1996 in Rheinberg and just played at the venue I work last year. They remind a bit of Bambix, since they manage to be both punk and melodic. If you like Dritte Wahl, you’ll probably also like Fahnenflucht.

Songs to absolutely check out:

Hausbesetzerlied (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaogpuHGqg8)

Kleiner Terrorist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufAa9DuRJsc)

Willkommen in Deutschland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3iOCjwhD7k)

Eine ganz normale Story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNYISfmU72w)

ZSK: If you’re a bit into german punk or are active in the antifascist scene, you might’ve heard “Alerta Alerta, Antifascista”.

ZSK are german skate punk and if you like energetic music, they’re your band, probably. This band is also very anti-nazi and supports the project “Kein Bock auf Nazis”, which provides info material for recognizing fascist structures and also music by antifascist musicians.

Bis Jetzt Ging Alles Gut (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jgHwmDNE9c)

Die Toten Hosen: The everlasting rival of Die Ärzte, the Mac Moneysack of German Punkrock with a singer with the worst haircut known to man. Is it obvious that I’m biased? Die Toten Hosen were founded in Düsseldorf in the year of our lord 1982. Next  to Die Ärzte they are one of the most commercially successful bands. Since I don’t (actively) listen to them, I have no more information for you other than they can be kind of pretentious.

Before I let you roam the wild lands of German Punk alone, please be careful. We have got a big problem with Grauzone (http://oireszene.blogsport.de/index/). If you’re not sure, do your research or ask someone who knows their punk. A band belonging to the grauzone is not necessary something to stop listening to them. Stay away from bands affiliated to Böhse Onkelz or Frei.Wild. And now: Go wild.

*I use the term punklings as a affectionate word for people/kids who just got into punkrock

**This is a joke, nowadays the rivalery between the hosen and ärzte is passè. It used to be huge in the 80s.

Sunny Days is one of Udo Lindenaus best songs and you cannot ever change my mind

QL – Die ultimative Funpunk Parade

Fast sechs Stunden Funpunk voll auf die Glocke – und als Dessert noch zweieinhalb Stunden DVD: Das ist „Die ultimative Funpunk Parade“ von QL. 9 Scheiben mit allem, was die Band je veröffentlicht hat; neues Material inklusive!

Seit 15 Jahren kommen nichts als Knüller aus dem Keller in Biel, in dem QL Hits und Shits aus dem In- und Ausland mit ihrem lauten und erbarmungslosen Funpunk veredeln. Wie gesagt: Nur Knüller, keine Füller – und selbst die Shits werden bei den vier Seeländern zu Hits. Mit ihren Alben „Heimatschutz“ (2004), „Luscht“ (2005), „Schwi!zerchracher“ (2007), „HumbaTätärä“ (2010), „Mach Lut!“ (2011), „Wäuthit“ (2014) und „Hopp Schwi!z!“ (2014) haben QL Schweizer Musikgeschichte geschrieben.

Jetzt bringt das Quartett, das eine der erfolgreichsten Bands in der Schweizer Musikgeschichte ist, seinen Sound und seinen Kult auf ein neues Level: „Die ultimative Funpunk Parade“ umfasst alles, was das Funpunk- und Partyherz begehrt: Alle sieben Alben, die QL seit 2004 veröffentlicht haben, dazu eine zweieinhalbstündige DVD sowie eine CD mit neuen („Dr Bappe hett e Fahne“) und bisher unveröffentlichten („Schweiz ist geil“) Songs. Sechs Stunden Funpunk voll auf die Glocke, dazu zweieinhalb Stunden Live-DVD plus Clips und Goodies aus fünfzehn Jahren Schweizer Funpunk-Geschichte: Das reicht, um einen drögen Arbeitstag im Büro zur Dauer-Fete zu machen.

Tosi an der Chuchi (Schlagzeug), Sägi mit der Jammer-Schindle (Gitarre), Pät am Viersaiten-Dampfhammer (Bass) und Schibä mit dem Heilsarmee-Karabiner (Gitarre) sind mittlerweile seit sieben Jahren in dieser Formation unterwegs und dreht in jedem Festzelt landauf landab die grössten Hits der Schweizer Musik Geschichte durch den Funpunk-Wolf. Mehr als 100000 verkaufte Alben, zahlreiche Gold- und Platin-Awards und gut eine Million Konzertbesucher sind Beweis genug, dass nicht nur QL 93dB für Pipifax halten. Darum gibts zum neuen ultimativen Funpunk-Partypaket nur eine Devise: „Mach lüter!“ Und zwar voll ume!
