Orange Sector is hitting hard at Bodyfest

10/28/2011

I realise that it's almost a month since Bodyfest, and I am only half way through my report.

The two members from Orange Sector enters the main stage and unload a very energetic and hard hitting set of old school EBM. The event starts to live up to it's name Bodyfest and the crowd starts to dance, jump and shout.

Sadly I must admit that I am not as familiar with Orange Sector as I ought to be. They seem to have managed to fly beneath my radar all the way since 1993, when they released their first record. I like what I hear and see on stage and I will most definetly start to pay this band the attention they deserve from now on. They put the "fest" back in Bodyfest.

Parade Ground was a bloody mess at Bodyfest

10/20/2011

I don't know what happened, but this was just weird. Jean-Marc Pauly enters the stage and hits his forehead hard on the microphone and starts bleeding. Then he pats his bloody head and shows his bloody palm repeatedly to the audience.

The sound is crap with a backtrack that is without both volume and base. The guitar is cranked to ten and drowning all other sounds. The vocals get's throug but are drowned in reverb and delay.

Picture
I don't know if there was to much drugs going on or if it was a desperate attempt to deal with a crappy sound. Sad, cause i was looking forward to hear some of Parade Grounds quite beautiful songs and was given a bloody mess instead.

Haket  lost their permission to play loud music in the evenings earlier this year. This seems to be sorted now and the clubs are back.
This is good news for all EBM-lovers when club BodyBeat returns on October 28:th. Time to get them boots out of the closet and start stomping again.

Schwefelgelb - The new kids on the Bodyfest

10/9/2011

The first band on the main stage for the evening was german duo Schwefelgelb. I am only familiar with a few of their songs through Youtube, and I have liked what I found there.

Their music is a mix of techno, electro, 8-bit and some healthy EBM-attitude. A bit of a surprising booking for a venue like Bodyfest, but a very healthy one. We have to let the genre evolve and expand if we want to be able to visit Bodyfest X a few years into the future.

Sadly I must admit that Schwefelgelb was not really my cup of tea as a live experience. I think that the music was leaning a bit too much towards techno, cool beats and sound effects. The band has some very good songs in their catalogue, but it seems like the band do'nt trust them to stand on their own.

But I don't think that my opinion was shared by the younger part of the audience who seemd to enyoj the bands performance immensly. And apart for my whining they were really entertaining to watch and the sound was great.

Steg is another step for Söderut

Out now on Wonderland records is Steg, the new CD from Söderut. Söderut is  a band from Göteborg that play synthpop with swedish lyrics. I have been a fan of the group since I first heard them in 2009. I fell in love with the intelligent lyrics and the analogue sound. Songs like Kärlekspsykopat, Du är söt and HH is really good examples of great songs from their self released EP from 2009.

Strangely it's only the song Kärlekpsykopat that has made it to their label debut. I personally think that the song Du är söt also should have gotten a new production and a chance to reach a broader audience.

But why complain when you get 8 new tracks instead and a posher version of Kärlekspsykopat. The album is really great and some of the new songs like Dansande homofober and Fegstad are really catchy.

I love that they combine popmusic with intelligent and political lyrics. Some of the swedish papers have criticised the lyrics for ther content, but why should it be better to write nonsense and love lyrics? Is there some unwritten law that popbands should be stupid and unaware? I personally don't understand that, and believe that we need more bands that cares a little. Thank you Söderut, for caring.

Sturm Café & Kommando XY kicks off Bodyfest 2011

10/6/2011

It´s usually not easy to be the first band out, especially if you have to be on stage 4.30 in the afternoon. But the EBM:ers at Bodyfest are loyal to their bands and the turn up is great in front of the small stage at Nalen even at this early hour.

On stage are two bands from Gävle, Sturm Café and Kommando XY with, Gustav Jansson as member of both bands. The concert is divided in two parts where Sturm Café is in focus during the first part.

When they start the intro to Koka kola freiheit early in the show I instantly get the feeling that this is the start of a great evening. The sound is not the best, but Sturm Cafés songs are really effective EBM-stompers that gets the audience dancing and moving anyway. It really gets good when they play Stiefelfabrik later in the setand and the whole room starts to shake.

Then they switch singer from Jonatan Löfstedt to Jocke Mohlund and the Kommando XY part of the show starts. Jocke works with the audience and gets good response. It's fun to see parts of the audience on the floor doing push-ups during Lyfta Skrot. Lots of testosterone flying around. I get very happy when they play my Kommando XY favorite Genesis Does (What Nintendon't).

Bodyfest gets off to a really good start and the last note from the stage barely rings out before the next band starts to play at the main stage. Here we go!
