music magazine & concert calendar number two march 2016 free
E D I TOR IA L Ihr lest die zweite Ausgabe von The Chop. Glatter. Besser ausgearbeitet. Mit Finesse, Reiz und einem Professionalitätsgrad, der den New Yorker wie eine Boulevardzeitung aussehen lässt. Okay, wir haben günstige Cocktails auf einer Privatparty verkauft um diese Ausgabe finanzieren zu können, aber das Ergebnis? Kaviar! Wenn ihr so in eurer privaten
Hausbibliothek sitzt und bei gedämmten Licht an eurem Cognac nippt, weiß ich was ihr denkt: “Was bringt eine solch’ hochwertige Ästhetik der lokalen, unabhängigen Musikszene? Hätte das Geld nicht besser für richtigen Inhalt eingesetzt werden sollen, anstatt für den Druck auf Papier aus bedrohtem Rhinozeroshorn? Waren nicht schon 2/3 des ersten Editorials ein Scherz?” The Chop ist umsonst. Das Magazin wurde nicht aus Rhinozeroshorn gemacht, es sammelt für euch Neuigkeiten aus der lokalen Musikszene. Wir stellen diesmal zwei Bands vor, die zusammen auf Tour sind, dazu gibt’s einen Artikel über einen der wichtigsten Rockclubs in Berlin, und in unserer Gastkolumne geht es voll und ganz ums Lesen. Nehmt alles mit aus The Chop, was ihr könnt, und unterstützt eure lokale Musikszene. XOXOXO
You’re reading the second issue of The Chop. Sleeker. More refined. With finesse, allure, and a degree of professionality that makes The New Yorker look like some ragtag piece of smut. Sure we sold cheep booze at a house party to pay for this issue, but the final product? Caviar.
And as you sit there in your dim-lit den sipping cognac, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Is such a cultivated aesthetic really congruous with helping the independent music community? Wouldn’t the money be better spent on content rather than printing with paper made from endangered rhinoceros horns? Wasn’t the first two-thirds of the previous editorial also a joke?” The Chop is free. It’s not made out of rhinoceros. It tells you about all the happenings in this month’s music scene. We have two featured bands who tour together, an article on one of Berlin’s quintessential rock venues, and our guest article this week is all about reading. So read the shit out of this free newspaper and support your local music scene. Thugs and Kisses,

Q&A
Interview with “Die letzte Metro” von Yves Fontanille und Olivier Bernet by Yannis Trouinard.
Hallo Yves, erzähl mal, was ist “Die letzte Metro”? Olivier und ich haben dieses Projekt 2014 als Sendung bzw. Podcast für das Webradio Gramofon FM erdacht. Die Idee ist, verschiedene Konzerte in Berlin aufzunehmen. Das kombinieren wir mit selbstorganisierten Events im Urban Spree in Friedrichshain..
wir behalten die Einnahmen der Show. Es ist besonders für kleine Bands eine gute Gelegenheit, einen Auftritt und dazu eine Aufnahme zu bekommen. Wie viele Aufnahmen habt ihr bis jetzt gemacht? Auf unserer Bandcamp-Seite haben wir eine Auswahl von 17 Aufnahmen und einem Sampler.
Wie oft macht ihr dort Konzerte?
Hast du ein paar Favoriten?
Unregelmäßig, aber wenn viel los ist, veranstalten wir jeden Donnerstag ein Konzert. Der Deal ist so: Wir bieten der Band an, drei Tage dort aufzunehmen und
Ja, klar! Zum Beispiel Les Aspirateurs, eine französische Rockabilly-Band aus Braunschweig. Außerdem kann ich The Intelligence und Cavern of Antimatter, eine lokale Krautrockband, sehr empfehlen.
Was habt ihr 2016 noch vor? Wir fangen am 17. März die zweite Konzertreihe des Jahres an, mit Tonia Hardings, einer lokalen Punkband. Wir werden uns auch für eine Förderung beim Musicboard bewerben, weil wir uns in Tonproduktion weiterbilden möchten.
Mehr infos über “Die letzte Metro” findet ihr auf Bandcamp & Facebook.
MOLDE & DWARPHS Interview by Luise Vörkel
Molde (Alex and Denes) and Dwarphs (Jan and Martin) have a lot in common. Both projects consist of two people – a guitarist and a drummer. They merge elements from postrock, hardcore and indie rock into highly energetic performances. All of the guys started out in small towns. They’ve shared a lot of stages and - last but not least – Dwarphs and Molde are really good friends. Zuerst einmal: Was verbindet Dwarphs and Molde? M: Eine sozialistische Prägung, Kleinstadtmusik, und Rock. Das sind für mich so die Wurzeln. Aus einer Gegend zu kommen, wo nicht so viel geht, Bock haben, Musik zu machen, und das dann auch zu machen. Und Freundschaft natürlich. Wir haben alle schon immer unseren eigenen Scheiß gemacht, aber irgendeinen Austausch braucht man. Wie hat Molde begonnen? A: Denes und ich kommen ungefähr aus der gleichen Ecke, aus dem ElbeElster-Kreis. Wir sind mal zusammen nach Norwegen in den Urlaub gefahren und haben dort erstmal nur mit Akustikgitarre die Band gegründet. Der Ort, in dem wir dort gelandet sind, heißt Molde. D: In Herzberg sind wir dann in den Proberaum und da hat sich das alles intuitiv ergeben. Erst war ich an der Gitarre und Alex am Schlagzeug, aber das haben wir schnell gewechselt. Und wie kam’s zu Dwarphs? M: Jan und ich haben uns in Berlin kennengelernt und hatten mit fünf anderen die Idee, eine Supergroup zu gründen. Das war aber ein bisschen stressig – allein Probentermine auszumachen. Dann habe ich mit Jan so Rhythmusübungen ausprobiert. Er musste dann für seine Schule eine Prüfung spielen, dafür haben wir in zwei Tagen drei Lieder geschrieben. Und unser erstes richtiges Konzert Anfang 2014 haben wir mit Molde gespielt. Würdet ihr sagen, ihr habt eine technische Herangehensweise? M: Für mich ist das nicht technisch, eher intuitiv. So eine Konversation. Ich spiele Rhythmen, die ich mag, die mir in den Kopf kommen. J: The technical aspect of our music comes from playing around with things we find challenging. We find a way to play games with each other. We try things that we can’t initially do and we figure out how we can bring ourselves to do them.
„Wir haben alle schon immer unseren eigenen Scheiß gemacht, aber irgendeinen Austausch braucht man.“ Gibt’s in euren Bands Platz für ein drittes Instrument? D: Wir hatten das schon, mal einen Synthesizer, früher hatte ich mal ein Glockenspiel. Da kommt immer was hinzu. A: Ich finde, das so ein Effektgerät auch immer stark mitprägt. Ich frag mich immer, „Welcher Effekt wäre jetzt wieder dran?“. Auf der Bühne habe ich so um die 13 Pedale dabei. M: Alex kann damit gut über seinen zweiten Amp den Zufall steuern. Dwarphs könnten sich auch ein drittes Instrument vorstellen, ganz viele sogar, aber wir wollen in der Zweier-Konstellation bleiben, weil das so spontan und direkt klappt. Ihr macht zusammen das FlennenKollektiv, was passiert da? M: Denes und ich hatten irgendwann den Plan, zusammen ein Heft über all die Bands in unserem Freundeskreis und dazu ein Konzert zu machen. D: Jetzt sind wir recht viele. Wir machen auch Sampler und Magazine. M: Es geht bei Flennen eigentlich hauptsächlich darum, gute Konzerte zu machen. Aber das ist auch nicht so einfach mit den Clubs in Berlin. Seitdem das Antje Oeklesund geschlossen hat, wo die Organisation ganz entspannt klappte, haben wir noch nichts Vergleichbares gefunden. Demnächst geht ihr wieder gemeinsam auf Tour. Was schätzt ihr an der Kombination? A: Ich mag so eine gewisse Gesprächskultur bei uns. Man erfährt immer mehr
über sich selbst und über die anderen, wenn man gemeinsam unterwegs ist. J: Touring together with Molde is easy, really pleasant, a growing experience. M: Wir arbeiten gut zusammen, weil wir uns gut verstehen. Und haben auch immer gute Witze! D: Familienausflug könnte man dazu sagen. Und was habt ihr dieses Jahr sonst noch so vor? A: Möglichst viele neue Lieder mit Molde schreiben. D: ..und irgendwann eine Platte. J: Maybe a little split?! M: Dwarphs gehen auf Tour, wir bringen im September auf Mikrokleinstgarten eine Platte raus. Dort haben auch Molde veröffentlicht. Und zum Album gibt’s dann wahrscheinlich auch ein Brettspiel, das war meine Abschlussarbeit. D: Vielleicht können wir ja auch mal bei Flennen eine Platte rausbringen. Kassetten haben wir ja auch schon gemacht. A/M: Ja, das habe ich mir auch schon gedacht.

FEATURED SHOWS by Barry Cliffe
Negative Space + Pretty Hurts* + Cult Values* March 3rd – Schokoladen
Laetitia Sadier + Nicholas Krgovich March 17th – ACUD
> Little League brings yet another night of excellent punk to Schokoladen along with fledgling Berliner punk label Grave Imprint. Negative Space from England celebrate a second pressing of their “Demo” cassette and it’s sure to go down well as they reference classic punk bands such as Gang of Four. Support is from the unstoppable Pretty Hurts whose set is a viciously awesome and rarely longer than 20 minutes punk steamtrain. Cult Values opens things up with their equally formidable post-punk sound.
Batsch + Tarentatec March 16th – Antje Öklesund
Yoga* + Sfir* + Shy* March 11th –Marie Antoinette
> Last September Cranky Booking invited 8 bands along to Antje Öklesund to pay homage to this most beloved of Berlin’s live venues under the banner Cranky Loves Antje. The idea was simple yet ambitious : each band plays four songs and everything would be recorded live to be released as a one-off tape and a love-letter to the venue itself. It worked out perfectly, with a full house witnessing a truly special night showcasing all that is good about the venue and the thriving live music scene in Berlin. The tape in a limited edition sees it’s release via local label Späti Palace with local kids Yoga, Sfir, and Shy providing an excellent lineup of indie and post-punk sounds. There will also be a screening of a short documentary film of the goings on of that night last autumn.
SO36
> Laetitia Sadier pays Berlin another visit and who could tire of this lady. As singer and co-driving force behind the legendary Stereolab, her solo albums have continued on that stellar trajectory, not breaking new ground musically, but challenging the listener simultaneously with bolder songwriting. The cosmic sound is still there and you won’t be disappointed by the live show. Don’t miss this one. > Sadier’s and Krgovich’s backing band, Batsch, as luck would have it, play their Berlin debut the day before at the very lovely Antje Öklesund. Lubomy Melnyk March 21st – Roter Salon
> Lubomy Melnyk is a Ukrainian pianist and composer who through his development of a technique named “continuous music” has slowly began to earn critical acclaim through album releases on modern classical label Erased Tapes. Although he is 67 years old, Melnyk’s playing is something to behold in a live setting; all high-speed playing and a storm of some of the most beautiful piano music you have ever heard. You probably won’t catch him in such an intimate venue as this again as his reputation begins to grow, so get along and witness something special.
by Stuart Braun
When the storied punk venue SO36 opened on Oranienstrasse, Kreuzberg, in 1978, they put on a two day party to ironically celebrate the building of the Berlin Wall. Iggy and Bowie were there, mingling with the musical and artistic insurrectionists (a young Blixa Bargeld among them) that adopted the venue and soon birthed a nihilistic sound that became known as The Berlin Disease. The infamous artist Martin Kippenberger soon took command of SO36, infusing it with new wave bands, film, art and performances before the hardcore punk regulars stole his takings and forced him to move on - that was before he made millions and drank himself to death. In ‘82, SO36 hosted Berlin’s first Atonal experimental music festival (running again after a long hiatus), where Einstürzende Neubauten played with the likes of Psychic TV, a milieu well-documented in BMovie: Lust and Sound in West Berlin.
The Dead Kennedy’s also played SO36 in the ‘80s before anarchist street riots, often sparked from the venue, caused the owners to be evicted. Reopened after the Wall fell, SO36 rekindled its role as subcultural trailblazer, welcoming both the techno and the transgender/queer scene alongside the angry punks. The Gayhane parties, happening on the ‘homo-oriental’ dance floor since the late ‘90s, sees Turkish and Arabic transgender performers let loose to Arabic and Hebrew beats. Nearly 40 year later, the venue is still welcoming outsiders and on February 23 threw a “Welcome to Kreuzberg” party for refugees - among the performers were post-rock Syrian band of exiles, Khebez Dawle. On March 28, SO36 will celebrate the launch of the book SO36 – von 1978 bis heute, which graphically tells the near 40-year story of this iconic Berlin institution. Living proof that punk’s not dead

STARLESS NIGHTS by Crunkle Scran
Berlin. What a town. “So poor, so sexy” as they say in these parts. This swamp of a city, this Berlin, right smack dab in the center of the 20th century. Politics, war, scandal, kunst, “history.” But hey, that was a century ago, and the way time’s moving these days might as well be two, if not three millennia. This goddamn metropolis, 3+ million strong, stuck with its own past, trying so desperately to accommodate for what was, now that it’s in what is, currently plagued with kids trying to articulate what will be. These kids in this city, squeakin’ their way down Sonnenallee with fresh white NBs, their black on black on black, disappearing in the cough-smog of that shisha joint, reappearing next Tuesday. These futurist kids from the future. Maybe they’re Swedish. Maybe they’re Canadian. Either way you swiped right, and they certainly did not return the favor since they’re too into minimal-housetechnoanarcho-futurism to recognize anything that isn’t dressed in black on black on black on NB as a potential mate. This city, these kids; so political, so nihilistic, so utopian, so down to party because it’s the end of the world, and denouncing our humanism is the purest route through which we can still lay claim to our humanness. Escapism, through and through. So poor. So sexy.
Those clubs in this city filled with these kids, ripe with egalitarianism and what some call “dancing”, 7 nights a week. These kids in this city, praising their faceless DJ demigods, disconnected from any true human interaction because we’re currently post-human. Meet me in the darkroom and be sure to wear black; I don’t want to see you and you don’t want to see the DJ (live! wow!) – nobody really wants to see anybody, and nobody really can, since nobody really exists in the club.
system that is contemporary capitalism in order to “take advantage of Berlin’s cheap rent/art scene(!)”, while at the same time only perpetuating the same brand of gentrification that initially drove “us” away from where “we” once were - or in other words most certainly the target demographic of this here newspaper) don’t deny pop from our lives, the facelessness of this city’s cultural production is really quite astonishing.
Sometimes I really can’t stand this city.
This city needs the egotistical bombast of a hometown hero too big for this fishbowl. This city, these kids, these clubs, need to stop forgetting their problems in the bleak abyss and start projecting them onto a martyr-saint of shameless spectacle. Idolatry, people. Fantasy. Not harsh realism. We still have our bodies. We still have our asses. The future is in the future, so let’s not rush. It’s 2016, year of the popstar. There’s nowhere to run to anymore. Let’s stop escaping and start creating. Old models are meant to be reused, after all.
Sometimes I think - and, heck, this may be crazy - this city needs to shamelessly shake its ass with all eyes and ears open, focused on a distant figure that captivates, seduces, pushes, and pulls. I don’t want to lose myself in the club, not to all those booms and bips and questionable powders - especially since, let’s be honest, getting in is hard enough. No. I want to find myself. I want to be saved. Saved by a pop star. Saved by the embodiment of the woes of our post-capitalist world. Though many of us (and by “us” I mean the small transnational “community” of overeducated and most likely underemployed 20- to 30-somethings who have relocated to Berlin to escape the prospect/reality of participating in the violent

26th March – IndieBookDay 2016
This is indie and therefore abstract and has no exact place or time. Here’s the plan: you go to a bookshop, any bookshop of your choice. Nope, not amazon.de. No, not Thalia. A sexy bookshop where the owner looks really tense and on the verge of bankruptcy/a nervous breakdown. You know?* You turn an attractive looking book over to the reverse to check out the logo. Does it look like a book put together by a small, independent, hopefully semiprogressive publishing house? Buy that bad boy. Slap down a thick wad of cash on the counter. Don’t even ask for change. Goddammit, the woman behind the counter probably hasn’t eaten in a few days, she’s in the book racket. Exit. Read. Choke back that ooze of self-satisfaction, you’re not, like, saving lives here. You’re not a brain surgeon or something. But you successfully completed your tiny contribution towards making the world a better place.
*On a barely related sidenote, I was recently reading this article on The Awl about a sweet indie bookshop in New York and they actually listed the owner’s name and you could see him in the picture and everything. He looked like your average hepcat mid-twentysomething, except, like, 100 x tenser, all his limbs at right angles. And then I googled his name for kicks because, Google rabbithole**, and one of the first results was a newspaper article about him getting fined a hundred bucks for contempt of court because he stood up in someone else’s case and screamed something before flouncing out of a courtroom. I feel like running an adorable indie bookstore leads you to this level of highly-strung. There’s something engaging here, right? Something about the discrepancy between twee-dream-life career and real-life stress. ** “How can I open my own adorable secondhand bookstore? How did this tiny manchild do it?” Sophie Atkinson is the founder of the Berlin-based book cult Don’t Tell Your Mother and is also a co-founder of Daddy, a humour/culture magazine that will change your entire life as you know it.
