Shantel is coming to WUK on September 1. We’ve been there, we’ve done that, we even got a T-shirt – but we can always dance with Shantel again and again and again…

Toilet restructuring
Europe is in a crisis. National and municipal budgets have to be trimmed. At the same time, consumers have to encouraged to spend, in order to get the economy started again. The city of Munich is leading the charge against wasteful spending and in support of consumer expenditure: they are closing a number of public toilets. Why finance public infrastructure from the taxpayer’s purse if some company could make a profit from public digestion?
Christoph & Lollo seem to be so impressed by this initiative that they give a couple of gigs (for free – they have not understood the whole point) to bid farewell to these soon-to-be non-public toilets. They even have a song dedicated to this issue. If you happen to be in Munich on July 2, please pay tribute to these institutions of public relief.
For more information, please visit the website of Protest in München. For other events featuring Christoph & Lollo in the coming months, visit their website.
Start wearing purple…
…because Gogol Bordello is coming to town. August 15, Arena Wien – what else is there to say?
Oh yeah, there might be some pre- or after-party at der gelbe Salon (or possibly both). Bring Sally if you can.

A colourful bird
My personal discovery of yesterday’s “Burg in Concert” gig of ”Element of Crime & Friends”(see post at dgS) was Maike Rosa Vogel. I wouldn’t quite agree with the philosophic subtext of her songs – a tad too much of fate. But I have to admit, it’s girlie-”Weltschmerz” at its finest!
Find out more on www.maikerosavogel.com! And by the way, her new album “Unvollkommen” will be released on April 8… Plus she will be on tour with Element of Crime in the next months across Germany. No other appearance in Austria, though, as far as I know…
Element of Burgtheater
German poetic pop at the Burgtheater in Vienna – that is indeed a lot of contradiction in only 8 words… Anyway, Element of Crime will play a gig at the Burgtheater next Thursday (March 17). It seems to be sold out, but who wants to listen to a gig seated anyway. Good thing for those who were too late to buy tickets – FM4 will be broadcasting live, starting at 7 pm.
