We got a new website! It was time to leave WordPress behind, so no more ads that will benefit transphobe tech bros. Probably we’ll keep on tweaking and twisting the dials on here and change the layout a bit but the URL laermletter.at will stay in place. We also moved our mailing list and so did all the subscribers. Note that the e-mails now only contain a notification of the post (including our beloved cover images), so always check the website to stay up-to-date. More good things to come soon… But now for the actual post:

(a day late)… This fine ides of march we remembered the day a small group of friends got together and made history. The lesson we should take with us is that through the power of friendship all things are possible and that if you have a problem that won’t go away you should try stabbing it 23 times with your friends (I’m not sure if wearing a toga is required but you should do so just in case). Sic semper tyrannis and happy ~~stabbing~~ march!

With their unorthodox instrumentation of trumpet, bass clarinet and electric guitar, they managed to create a strangely danceable, genre-defiant music, evoking a dislocated and pulverized version of club culture and noise music, played on amplified instruments.
