So the other day, the guys over at Siluh Records asked me to take a couple of photos at their monthly label night “Club Weird Kong” in Transporter. The band which played that night was Gary from Germany, an indie pop-rock outfit who played some songs from their new album, set for release in June [...]

A couple of fun facts about Iceland: more than half of its population resides in the capital, Reykjavik, and a good 80% of them speak better English than mother-tongue English speakers (yes, I am looking at you, destroyers of proper spelling, faithful lovers of abbreviations and text-messaging talk, and haters of correct grammar). Not everyone looks [...]

Last night I met the lead singer of Ginger Ninja and we did a spontaneous mini-interview for one of my new secret projects, in a crowded bar. It was fun and really quite lovely. As soon as I get a few things sorted out, his words along with some other surprises will be published here… [...]

I know. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have a crush on Matthias and can’t seem to get enough of his music. Luckily for me, he is having a lot of shows lately, so even when I miss one, I know that the next isn’t too far away. This time, I [...]

Oof. I met the Mikroboy guys backstage at the Get Up Kids show this summer, and we kept in touch a little bit until they came to Vienna (two weeks ago) to open for Kevin Devine at B72. I headed there at sound check time and got to take a lot of pictures before as [...]

The guys over at WannaPlayVienna LOVE unsigned bands. The point of their event, taking place every third monday of the month at B72, is to give these bands some exposure. I’m not a huge fan of shows like this, because I’ve gone to a few (back in the day) and I’m sorry to say that [...]

It was packed and after three songs being surrounded by very gigantic people (why don’t tall people stand in the back? hm?) we made our way upstairs. Right above the smoke machine, but at least we could see a little more, and hear much better. It was intense and beautiful. They didn’t speak at all, which [...]

I went to see Destroy, Munich and Scraps of Tape at fluc two nights ago. The first good thing about the show was that it was FREE. Free Shows are hard to come by nowadays. Good ones are even harder. The second good thing was that I had heard about both bands but a) never [...]

(..is finnish for: to kill two birds with one stone) So last night I went to see MEDEIA @ Arena and Son, Ambulance @ B72. I got a message from Laura (that’s the very cute, sweet, and just generally super-awesome MEDEIA keyboard player) at 7:30PM telling me that I was on the guestlist for the show so [...]
My name has five letters in it, and comes up in some Bright Eyes songs. I am (apparently) an artist, with too much time on her hands. Well, enough to blog (almost) daily. I am 1/4 (the smallest one, actually) of Lazy Acre Records; I also write & photograph for a local magazine based in Englaaand and make used to draw musically-inspired comics for a canadian mag (RIP Inscribed). Sometimes I can be quite cute. I used to still have a crush on Marty McFly; I like baking, overusing semi-colons, the smell of the sea, and thunderstorms.
I tend to be quite the busy bee, but if you make VERY sexy music and want me to listen and enjoy and possibly even (!!) write about it, shoot me a mail, baby. music(at)alicetragedy(dot)org
