2-15 September
Very short today because chaos and friends!
A few links: https://www.schalltaucherin.com/ because she’s on to a lot of stuff some of which we didn’t have the time to integrate into our newsletter this time (jazz and experimental mostly) – https://unsafeandsounds.com/ because we listed all of it and are very much going but the programme definitely deserves a closer look – https://www.wienwoche.org/en because this arts+activism festival looks really cool, while largely (only largely! see below) beyond the remit of our music newsletter it does feel right up our alley.
Also we missed to promote (I think?) and even go to yesterday’s Palestine solidarity gig, a development that we of course welcome, given it stands for more movement in the indie scene to come – although there has been some controversy about the messaging (a bit liberal? The writers of this blog might get into these discussions on the streets and on other accounts but not here, not right now), and also a member of Kneecap is plausibly a rapist and kind of no one is saying it? In other news, the solidarity gig a week before that was coming much more from the experimental & Palestinian corners seemed to be quite a success, and you can also listen to all of it back on Mixcloud!
Also there’s this brilliant Kode9 + DJ Haram + many of our local baddies lineup on 17 October, don’t miss!
Now for the upcoming gigs…
