Chumbawamba sind eines jener wenigen lebenden Beispiele dafür, daß sich Kommerz und politische Agitation nicht notwendigerweise ausschließen müssen. Im Schafspelz kommen die Wölfe der Chumbawamba’schen Hitsingles daher%3B so der 93er Durchbruchs-Megahit „Timebomb“ oder aber „Tubthumper“, namensgebender Opener und Singelauskoppelung aus dem aktuellen Album. Chumbawamba haben es mittlerweile geschafft, schaffen es mittlerweile auch musikalisch, mühelos scheinbar…
September ’67 is a female duo from Virginia. Shannon and Kristin play sweet, enchanting pop music and appear onstage only with electric guitar and drums – which is kind of unusual. Plus they created the phrase „We need more Bossa Nova in our lives“ which I borrowed from them to use in the Smoke City…
Subcircus are a new band which is quite unlike any other. Being it for the fact that they consist of two englishmen and two danishmen or because their music doesn’t sound like any of those. Their show at the Alternatent of Rock am Ring went over quite well – there seemed to be the usual…
Finally I’d got to meet Dean Wareham and Sean Eden of Luna in a place most appropriate for this band: At the Chelsea (in Cologne, though – but nobody’s perfect.).

It’s been some time since we had our weekly encounters with Salad. More or less accidentally we had the chance to catch up on the latest news. We talked with Marijne over the phone.

Since Smoke City are a new band, I asked them about the band’s history – how they came together, how it happened and stuff.Marc: We’ve been together for a year and a half now. Me and Nina for a longer time. We’re both from London. We met Chris through a DJ called Patrick Forge and…
The tension was great. What could there be after the Stone Roses? Many were guessing that guitar-player John would be the only one with enough creativity to pull something off on his own. The debut album of the Seahorses proves them right so far. Without dwelling on the matter of the Stone Roses too much,…
Fluffy is my kind of All-Girl-Band. Not (only) for the obvious reasons, though. Because Fluffy kick ass – musically speaking. They are a damned fine rockband. Period. However, they seemed to have had their share of the more „obvious“ encounters, because they seemed to be a little bit too defensive, constantly opposing questions I hadn’t…
Spätestens seit der Hitsingle „You’re Gorgeous“ dürfte babybird allen bekannt sein, und wer noch mehr über diese Band erfahren möchte, sollte jetzt weiterlesen…On your latest album, there are a lot of different styles of music, and did you put any effort in creating a specific order of songs for this record? I’m asking this ‚cause…
