Due to a small communication problem, we forgot to put Audiobomber on our flyer. Sorry! We updatet the flyer, you can see the new version on the Zwischenstromball 2007 page.
You should know Audiobomber, aka Alex Jöchtl, from his other bands like Wok, Joke or the Smiling Buddhas and his cooperations with Bruckmayr:
If the stage is too small for two drumsets or the changeovertimes too tight prefering to play with visuals and totaly freak out while sitting like a buddha i will give you the volle breitseite out of the laderaum!
More information on Audiobombers webpage or his myspace site.

As you know, the spanish musician Cee Mari Posa will play at the Zwischenstromball, so we thought, you would like some more information about her:
CEE MARi POSA Barcelona
deep/pure/wild
Earthgrooves begin to vibrate, when Cee Mari Posa spreads her wings on stage. She revolves like the wind, touches the pure life and is yearning for love. The timbre of her voice reflects the facets of her character, yet wild, yet attractive, yet soft.
A bewildered woman who will surprise the crowd with her fantástico plástico stage performance.
¡UN CASO SPEZIELL!
You can find even more information and oncoming dates on her myspace page.

One of Backlabs primary goals is to support young artists, and so we are pleased to announce that we will exhibit recent works of Sandra Birklbauer at the Zwischenstromball 2007.
Blicke erzählen Geschichten, Geschichten vom Leben und genau diese Geschichten möchte die junge Fotografin Sandra Birklbauer auf eine künstlerische Art und Weise einfangen und weitergeben. Es geht nicht nur darum Bilder anzusehen, sondern vielmehr darum ihnen zuzuhören und zu verstehen was sie einem sagen möchten. In ihren Fotografien findet man eine geballte Ladung an Emotionen und Gefühlen, sie vermitteln eine Stimmung die einem in den Bann zieht, solange man sich Zeit nimmt, einen kurzen Moment innehält und die Bilder einfach sprechen lässt.
Take a look at this small selection of her portfolio:

Not a complete stranger to loyal Zwischenstrom-visitors should be:
IMPEROMON (Temp~ Records, Austria)
Schräg, laut, verspielt und nicht von dieser Welt…. Der Pokemon passt in keine Schublade und will da auch nicht rein.
Bekannte Songs werden gnadenlos vermischt, verzerrt und unkenntlich gemacht bis nur noch eine Idee des alten überbleibt und der Hauch einer Struktur. Er singt drüber, drunter und hinein, mischt und werkt dass es eine wahre Freude ist.
Orient und Okzident treffen sich auf einen Plausch, Techno und Pop schließen Freundschaft und der vertraute Schlager mischt sich ein…der Gigolo bereitet Freunde – Live eine Sensation, schnell, süß, kraftvoll und immer für eine Überraschung gut.
Seit der Gründung von Temp~ Records, 1993, ist er das Mastermind, der Manager. Bekannt und beliebt, stromauf- und abwärts – als Imperomon macht Georg Titz seit 2003 Musik. Er kam vom Punk und hat die Wurzeln nicht vergessen, das Rohe, das laute – den wohltemperierten Krach – systematisch zum Untertan gemacht.
Zu hören auf MySpace oder auf der diesjährigen Temp~Festival Compilation, die zum Gratis-Download auf: www.temp-records.net/festival bereit steht.

Directly from the United Kingdom, Jon Kennedy will join us:
Direkt aus Großbritannien wird uns Jon Kennedy besuchen:
Jon Kennedy (Grand Central/Tru Thoughts, UK)
Jon Kennedy is a drummer and electronic musician who was born in Dukinfield, Stockport, England. He was discovered in 2000 when he passed a demo CD to Ninja Tune artist Mr Scruff. Scruff played tracks from the CD soon after on his “Unfold” radio show on Brighton’s Juice 107.2. Brighton-based Tru Thoughts independent record label contacted Kennedy on hearing the tracks and signed him. Having recorded in Mr Scruff’s Stockport studio, Kennedy now lives and records in Bristol, and regularly plays in both Bristol and London.
His first three 12″ singles, and his debut album, We’re Just Waiting For You Now were released between 2001 and 2002 on Tru Thoughts. In 2002, Kennedy joined Grand Central Records, releasing his second album in 2003, to universal acclaim. The album featured collaborations with new label-mates Kate Rogers and Aim, whom he also toured with. His third album, “Useless Wooden Toys” was released in 2005, on which he performed vocals on several tracks.
As a live act, he performs with a six piece band and plays drums himself. The rest of the live band is made up of Dan Coggins on guitar, Ben Thomas on bass, Naomi Hart on keyboard, Sarah Scott on vocals and Bernard Moss of Pork Recordings on flute and alto sax.
Kennedy has also recorded under the aliases 777 and KRS Jon.
“It’s a very strange feeling when you first write a track that you would actually listen to yourself. [...] It means you don’t have to buy music anymore. So that’s my aim – to save me money. I don’t aim to be rich or super-famous. I only want to be able to eat and survive comfortably. Rents are high and I get so hungry sometimes… I also want free stickers.”
Kennedy is currently working on various remix projects, including the soundtrack of the cult British film Withnail and I. His fourth solo album was due for release in the summer of 2006, but has been delayed. In the meantime, he has been asked to remix a track and produce the forthcoming album by Senser.
In 2007, Kennedy started his own record label, The Jon Kennedy Federation. His first release on the new label is a 12″ EP entitled Demons.

We announce the first headliner for this years Zwischenstromball:
“hot and steamy disco-techno dudes”
Straight out of Austrias “stahlstadt” linz come these four gentlemen with a truck full of loaded weapons, aiming at your ears, hearts and minds. Forget everything you heard about electronic pop music and open wide to recieve an ultimate mix of petshopboys-like eurodisco sound, with a sexy touch of amanda lear, blendend with harsh “pansonical” technobasskillertrax and vocals that make you cry…
Wipeout are:
Didi Bruckmayr

With bands like Monochrome Bleu and Josef K. Noyce he played shows all over europe an did several US-tours.

We can proudly announce our first booking for the Zwischenstromball 2007:
Stier
Stier began to produce music in his bedroom back in 2001, and began to release his tracks for free in 2006 on his own homepage stier.cc. For starters, we can recommend you to download his three latest albums “Maloch”, “Knall I” and”Knall II” – you can find them under “music”.
Today, he is living in Austria, playing mainly in small clubs, where he can experiment with the crowd and the reception of his music. His ignorance of other electronic music gave him the opportunity to develop a very unique style, free of influences in terms of song writing and composition. This results in an very broad spectrum, going from ambient to techno. On stage, he relies on his mesmerizing appearance using manually operated lights and his very own dancing performance.
