Doors open from 7pm, Free Entry.
Thom Carter - Saturday 5th March 2016 @ Slim Jim's Doors 7pm to 9pm - Free entry
Thom Carter, bassist in spacerock band Riddles, steps away from the wall of sound and amps on 11 for a night to perform a solo acoustic set of his own songs. Expect hazy folk fingerpicking, trippy lyrics and a head full of heartbreak.
Don’t expect it to sound like it looks in the pic lol, the press pic i submitted got binned for being ‘too nice’ haha - this is a hard as nails whisky joint. So go for a night with a dude who looks like a Paul Stanley impersonator and end up watching heart-on-sleeve folk in the Neil Young vien and a whole lot of confused biker dudes :)
See you there!

Chopin - Mazurka - Op. 41 No. 4 - played by Thom Carter
I’m clearing out my studio - found this tape of me playing Chopin so I made a video to go with it. I don’t know why i go through ‘cassette phases’, they hiss and squelch so much… It’s not perfection, but the feel is there…

Stereoshape - If I Could
Facebook/Bandcamp
By now Stereoshape is a 5 year old trio consisting of Oliver Rieger, Jens Rödner and Lars Rödner. The band combines different musical styles and interweaves them into an electronic net of triphop, disco, funk and pop.
The group has written on their flag, not to sample old vinyl records but to bring in all songparts, jingles and vocal parts by good old handcraft, in order to self-sample these works, and use it in their songs. By that they create their very own and concise Stereoshape - Sound, which always is to blur boundaries, and to put aside fear of contact with different musical genres.
Hip Nothings - California
Netlabel/Myspace
Back in 2008, englishman Tom Carter paired up with North-American Blake Rhein and wrote half a dozen songs that were to be Hip Nothings’s first and ever release, ‘Zeroparty’. Finally, almost three years later, here it is: A collection of six songs heavily based on nineties’ sounding Korg keyboards and other vintage synths, and of course relying on Carter’s excellent singing capabilities. ‘Zeroparty’ is a bit of a nostalgia inducing release. It reminds me of a lot of stuff that was coming out of the UK in the late 80’s/early 90’s. It has also a lot of the same vibe similarities with earlier solo Tom Carter releases as March Rosetta.
Audiophil - Things Will Change
Website/Netlabel/Facebook
We are fusing acoustic instruments with modern sound design.
Aiming to present the local electronic music scene on a wider scale, the Dresden based netlabel Phonocake releases electronic music by artists from Dresden since June 1, 2003. Since 2006 we also release music from friends and artists worldwide, from Russia, South America and Europe. We made the online music debuts of artists like Disrupt, Alec Tronic, Modul, Kryptic Universe, Madstyle and Mr. Incognito possible. Our musicians do their music mainly in the free time, but mostly for more than ten years. You can find music in the styles IDM, melodic Electronica, Experimental and all possible combinations of it here. We have a strong free access and free culture attitude. In 2010 we reactivated the label sleepycity.org as our sister label. Besides this Phonocake sees itself as a platform for artists to interact and act locally.
The music, we offer here and in the net is released with the so called Creative Commons Licence. This licence is especially good to protect the listeners, so they can download, listen and use the files safely under the conditions, not to sell or make money with the music. On the other hand all artists keep their (copy)rights. Offering music under a creative commons licence does not mean, that the artist looses anything.
The Easton Ellises - Yakuza Baby
Website/Facebook/Soundcloud
The Easton Ellises are Alex D and Simon Roy, best friends since their schooldays and former Stereomovers. They met while Simon was studying music and Alex visual arts. They have been making music together for the past fifteen years, playing with many different bands going from psychedelic music to punk-rock, experimental to progressive house.
In 1999 they created the duet Stereomovers , which took them on a long musical journey. Between 2000 and 2005, they have been part of Montréal’s electronic scene and brought their music abroad playing in clubs and important music festivals in North America, Europe and Asia . They have also been heard on radios and podcasts. Furthermore, the duet released ten 12” with important labels, on both side of the Atlantic , and appeared on a number of internationally renowned DJs’ mixes, while getting good reviews.
The brand new project The Easton Ellises, name inspired by the American novelist Bret Easton Ellis, is a combination of rock and electronic music. The energy is coming from their electronic background, blended with a touch of pop rock. It is the club scene years meeting the studio years . They find their influence in bands like The Presets, Cut Copy, Rinoçérôse, Kasabian, Midnight Juggernauts, Phoenix, Datarock to name a few. Some synths, hard and soft, some guitars, a pearlescent drumkit, a SM58 and lots of red wine have been the main ingredients.
For this new project, The Easton Ellises choose to embrace the Creative Commons movement and copyleft culture. Voilà!
