Last Call For Disco

March 30, 2006 on 9:49 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Music |

It’s an appealing name for a band, isn’t it? Four young men from Berlin performed yesterday at the semi-regular “LoFi Lounge” at Schokoladen, Ackerstraße, organized by Kitty.

(By the way: If the guys from Schokoladen could not continue with their concerts due to a more expensive hire contract, it would be a shame. Great location for new music, always!)

Around 20h, I passed by and heard the driving beat from inside, the guys did their soundcheck. I liked it and their name “Last Call For Disco”, and since it is only five minutes from my flat I went later to see their concert.

With no contract yet, they are doing it right: Playing a lot of shows, supported by a stylish website and also a profile on MySpace - all sorts of promoting the music.

It was a nice concert. Lively, with a glamorous and charismatic singer and some cool hooks, always driven by a steady disco-rock beat. A good show, everybody had a good time.

But I could tell, they haven’t been playing long together. As singer Jake told me later, it has only been a couple of months.
The songs are still quite alike and, honestly, sound pretty much like Franz Ferdinand (at least, I thought so when I took the movie..)

To sum it up: They did a really good performance and already have some cool ideas. In my opinion, there’s a lot of potential.
Good luck, guys!! Their garden barbecues are also famous..

oh i see.
interesting.
the name is specially cool.

in any case,
I just got home from clubbing,
it is 7,27am now and I am not really tired. I could take my folder and books and go to university (after 4 months not attending to any of the lectures, how cool is that)

oh well.
so the night was sort of just ok.
I met some stupid and silly men.
I had to say far too many times “no, i dont want to dance with you, leave me alone. no i am not going to kiss you, now please get the hell out of here” und so und so und so.

sadly, at the end of the night (or at the beginning of the morning, it is all about perspective) we found out Carla have had lost her ticket for the locker (or guardarropia)
we went straight directly to ask for her stuff but her jacket and bag was already gone with the fucking bastard bitch that found my girl’s number/ticket.

cell,
credit cards,
money,
scarf,
home’s keys,
camera with amazing pictures taken that night,
jacket with history,
and several personal stuff that now is so gone she could just say that person has not good karma at all.

all i could do was to hold her in my arms,
caress her,
take her home and wait until her roomate would open the door,
and nodd and smile to every comment she would say, as a memory of everything that was inside of that beautiful purse.

It is sad.
i cannot believe how people this mean and with oh so bad intentions can exist.
why a person would do that.
it would not even cross my mind to stole somebody’s life.
because she has way too much feelings put on that purse and on that jacket.

it is painful.
but still,
everything in this life is in constantly change.
we do not belong to anything, we do not own a thing.

i remember when i got robbed.
all i could think about was not about my cell, my cd player nor my expensive stuff but the messages on my cell, all the meaning and memories they had.

materialism should not have a place in this world.
i am happy i realized i do not need so much to feel fine.
i need myself,
pants,
a comfi tshirt and trainers,
i need water,
i need some sleep,
if i an have the chance i would read and have tea,
oh and by the way, I need you.

but i try not to put too much enthusiasm in material stuff you know. because you never know who and when is going to steal it….
so, in the meantime and hoping nothing bad would happen, i would protect myself by being distant and cold and yet feeling the good feelings in my skin.

attachment is dangerous for your health.

Saw Last Call for Disco in Berlin supporting Dirty Pretty Things - this band are something else -they had the whole club rocking from the start. Fantastic to see them on the web little is better than nothing, but I have no doubt that they will be huge from this year on - I would watch them closely
