Pankow, Tara in Tibet live // Herzschlag

PANKOW (IT) Pankow, founded in Florence back in 1981, are one of the very first electronic/industrial acts coming out from Italy. The founding member Maurizio FM Fasolo and his five co-band members at that time created sounds inspired by the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and early Kraftwerk. After various line-up changes and the arrival of charismatic lead-singer and poet Alex Spalck, the project started to become noted also abroad and a first live-appearance in Berlin in 1984 marked the start of a long ongoing and successful career for the band. Following a few cassette-releases and compilation appearances, Kindergarten Records - in collaboration with Polygram - released a first 4-tracks EP in 1984, that included the first more accessible, EBM-Electro-like tracks (even though the term 'EBM' was not 'invented' by that time...): songs like 'God's Deneuve' and 'Wodkachaos' became major hits in Italy. The first LP came in 1987 on Contempo Records, and was produced by Adrian Sherwood. Since 2016 Pankow started to collaborate with the Canadian label Artoffact by releasing their first official cassette ("Throw out Rite", 1984) and a 10 "vinyl (Times) with the first songs released only in some Italian compilations before and a couple unpublished ones. The band is currently active and based in France/Belgium with the frontman singer Bram Declercq. https://www.facebook.com/pankowband/ http://www.pankow.co.uk https://pankow.bandcamp.com/ TARA IN TIBET (IT) Berlin-based Tara in Tibet is a project of Alessio de Felice, co-runner of label She Lost Kontrol records and owner of Last Europa Kiss records. His perfomances are waving between noise and groovy industrial, with a touch of esoterism. Highly recommended for fans of occult sex parties, Italian police movies and dirty raw esthetics. https://lasteuropakiss.bandcamp.com/ https://clandestinerecords.bandcamp.com/album/spirit-violence TIQ TIQ is a minimal-synth party loved and supported by different alternative scenes. DJ-sets are rigid, cold, rough-edge, blind-alley and the drum machine beats always like a metronome. No matter if the sound comes from the past, the present or the future, we are more and more devoted to select the best minimal-synth-wave music, so called "quadratic wave". Quadratic-wave is a word game and a concept from sound physics too, but the best way to catch it is to dance it, and the best way to dance it is by being concentrated and confined in a quadrangle as Die Tödlich Doris sang in their song Tanz im Quadrat: "Wir tanzen im Viereck, wir tanzen konzentriert". https://www.mixcloud.com/DJNEUEK/ https://www.facebook.com/tiqberlinquadraticwave/   FB EVENT
