BERLIN - APRIL 2013

 

This trip had events almost every single day. Even performed at one myself. But there was still a few cozy moments to enjoy great company.

Liz Kosack (with Kevin Norton) concert at "Visual Aid" exhibition at Malzfabrik. Some amazing synth playing by Liz, as well as beautiful visuals... and that mask! Wow.

 

A bit of street art.

 

It's definitely not the solution for anything - for anybody else than a greedy few.

 

Suckaaa'!

 

Back for sushi again at Zossenerstrasse. Always good.

 

A substational dinner at "The Greek" in Marheinekenplatz Markthalle.

 

A rare view of the fella shooing all these photos.

 

A cozy evening in the Chain/John home with Thorkild and Zelda Panda listening to 7-inches and playing a bit of guitar.

 

Thorkild dj'ing a bit on the travel grammophone.

 

Anything good in the 7-inch stash? Of course!

 

Bowie makes "Low", so Lowe makes "Bowi". Ha! This one has a really swinging b-side... "Shake That Rat".

 

It got late.

 

Recording a bit of the dj'ing. Yelling at the needling, so it picks up the sound.

 

View from Viktoriapark.

 

Sister Chain & Brother John supporting Lene Lovich - but not when I am in Berlin. Dang!

 

Le chef!

 

Always nice to be around people never too shy to pose a bit for the camera.

 

Best as black and white?

 

Getting closer.

 

"Alter Schwede!" Swedish and German poetry night at Ausland.

 

Invited by Zelda Panda - who as always delivered a magic dj set.

 

More reading.

 

And some strange sounds.
