Neoangin!

the pop-up-police never rings twice

Neoangin is back in Brooklyn. 2 months out of the suitcase behind me and a head full of memories: giant ship in Budapest with only 50 people in the audience but whole show got filmed for TV and i had to shoo the audience around to make them pretend they were 1000plus ! Sold out show in London with Anxieteam and a weird brother in the audience! A naked guy on stage and Max Tundra sleeping before and after his show in Nantes! having to compete with 3 ambitious youngster Djs in Bordeaux, shortest set 25 min in HamburgGolem! longest show 3 hours 25 min Stuttgart/Waggon. Arriving 8 times in Berlin SFX and painting a complete exhibition in the train. For the last time in this life playing the same old Cure coverversions with Nova Huta in Monarch! Watching the pop-up police in Basel closing down the show just the minute everybody started to dance and finally being trapped in a tiny backstage room with a funny barkeeper on weird drugs who was unable to count the doormoney!

It's Neoangin season again

No escape from Bushwick. Not only did my New York band Anxieteam write a song and video about this pitoresque, soon to be gentrified, yet still hipster wasteland area in the heart of Brooklyn, i also spent half october- half November painting a massive 60 m wall there. Very nice that it had sunny mid september weather till now, so my only risk was to get sunburnt. Before we went into winterbreak Anxieteam played the pictoplasma festival and released "Bushwick Dream" last week with a bumpy last show. And now suitcases are packed and neoangin is ready to rise from the grave with shows next week in Nantes and Bordeaux and the week after in Budapest. More soon....

B-B-B-Bingo

That was a busy September for Mister Neoangin. A lot of traveling in Europe and funny situations everywhere. During my surprise exhibition at the superb Berlin-festival, a picture got stolen off the wall. In Cologne at "Cityleaks-festival" i had to wait 3 hours for the paint to do my livepainting and when it finally arrived , almost everbody had left home. Thank god, i didn't waste a minute and played Foxy Bingo while waiting and won enough to invite everybody to a soda. Luckily when i did the concert at the curch a few days later the place was so packed that it completely curbed the big bad reverb. Funny moments with Anxieteam shows as well: for the gig at artyfarty gallery we had to do a “silent disco” gig with everybody in the audience wearing headphones, of course it all ended in a big mess. In compensation we played our set in zürich twice, because running out of songs and the people wanted more. Of course the new ANXIETEAM postcardalbum with downloadable songs didn't arrive in time for the tour, but now it's here and it looks beautiful. Shows to come: Anxieteam will play the Pictoplasma afterconference party in New York on Nov 5. and Neoangin will do a special Europetour in December, playing mainly towns that begin with a B like Budapest, Bordeaux, Basel and Berlin to name a few! To get you in the mood for the “B”ecember-tour watch this little video i made on a rainy day in Brooklyn to my song “Bartleby”

busy in the analog world

after hot but introspective summerdays in new york I am almost on the way for 2 busy weks in europe. this weekend will bring Neoangin to Nürnberg-Fürth, where i am happy to join the famous Badstrassenfestival and also will meet with my old mate Fehmi again. On sunday Neoangin will join the Theaterfestival in Mainz.

new york trilogy

after Neoangin played the Goetheinstitute summerfest in Moscow in June, i returned to New york to pick up activities with my second band Anxieteam. and not too bad i have to admit. we have a couple of nice new songs and are about to finish our first album. In September a postcardbook will be released as an appetizer, titled " i think i miss you". It has downloadcodes on each postcard, and will be released on hello thor, it's going to be available in severeal recordstores and at our exhibitions in cologne and zurich that jon and i are having together in september. and for new yorkers theres a couple of shows in august and we promise that they are all going to be different. For our show in Pianos on Aug 17 we expect Prof Thalhofer to join us with his mindblowing videoshow...

Me and the anti-establishment

Finally Neoangin is on the road again... The show last saturday at Lupita wasn't too bad and Yaneq really showed me how to heat up the mood. Tomorrow its Heidelberg for a last goodbye to one of my favorite Clubs and audiences "Villa Nachttanz". Saturday its Munich, and next week it will be Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. Saturday you can find me in Bamberg doing a new Soundtrack to " Das Cabinet des Dr Cagligari " - a masterpiece of German expression and on Sunday i return to Berlin for the Finissage of my exhibition, decently titeled " Me and the ANTI-Establishment". Join me and friends Chris Imler, Nova Huta, Candy Hank and Jens Friebe for a night of no regrets.

old is the new young

i admit it.. for quite a while this homepage wasn't the place where you read it first....no mentioning of my big " almost-retrospective" exhibition in Berlin, no touting the horn for my splendid new A3 posterbook that just came out and also no mentioning of my first russia tour in 2 years and why? just because i was a little bit too busy travelling around to update my homepage once in a while...but, it's not too late, the exhibition is still up till end of may, there might be another russia tour and the book, my friends, you have to see it to understand my excitement, and here's the good news: if you are somewhere near Berlin there is a perfect moment to do so: join me and my smart and friendly publishers, the one and only Onkel and Onkel for a free Neoangin surprise show at La Lupita eV in Skalitzer str 135a as part of the lange Buchnacht on May 14. there will also be a talk with Berlins sharpest tongue Yanec and if the mood is right we will even do a song or 2 together. friends, don't let me down

join the old school

neoangin is back into action and the next weeks will be tough ones. sat April 2nd i will have an opening in Hamburg at one of my favorite places Feinkunst Krüger mysteriosly titled " the prison of meaning" . A week later, on april 9 i will be in Stuttgart to open "Mess is more". Both exhibitions with brandnew works, and a prerelease of a new A3 sized Posterbook "me & the establishment"." back to the oldschool" will be the musical theme for both openings: I just recently found a small dusty box with 10 year old Minidisks and songs on it that i thought i had lost years ago ... join me for some real NEOANGIN old school!

i want you back in my life

only regular visitors may have noticed but it was very quiet here for a while. It was obvious that i needed a break with neoangin. first of all, i was very, very exhausted after my last tour in november, it wasn't bad at all but for sure it was crossing the country one time too often. then i am playing in this new band ANXIETEAM, wich has been mentioned a couple of times here and it turned out that this new band is a little bit jealous about any neoangin activity. and finally, i have to admit i was disappointed with the poor reactions on my last album in the press. i think journalists just don't like me, maybe i don't like them too. so for a while i thought this is it, time to quit, but then after a while some of you people start writing and inviting me for shows and asking what i am doing and suddenly the funny little melodies are coming back and so do i. next sunday there will be a last show with ANXIETEAM and then i will cross the ocean towards berlin and i have some big plans. come back here to find out more, i want to write a news every week now....promise

who is afraid of friendly capitalism!!!

friday Nov 5 is the big day for me. the notorious friendly capitalism lounge is returning to berlin for another night of art and music extravaganza. I am very happy that all my local favorites are playing on the same party. Masha Qrella ,Kissogram, Quioquio, Warren Suicide with the support of a string quartet. Krach der Roboter dressed in Robotcostumes and Frenchman Debmaster with the latest in weird sound research. not to forget a spectacular exhibition, Skewville from Brooklyn, Sammy Stein from Paris and oh logo from Cologne with a money ironing performance just to name a few.... and who knows, maybe here will be a neoangin-surprise show as well.... come and see
