What I'm up to tonight...
Electromantic Night - "Schwarze Romantik"
Bands: Planning to Rock (dj set) & Nova Heart (Live)
Date: Friday 2nd November
Location: The Städel Museum , Frankfurt
The Städel museum is one of my favourite buildings in Frankfurt, always housing innovative artist and cultural works. Imagine my excitment at the combination of both Art and Electro music...
Tonights event: Electromantic Nacht mit Nova Heart
is almost to exciting to bare!
Dubbed as the "Queen of Beijing Rock" or "Blondie of China" Helen,
born in Beijng and raised in the US and Canada, has been a staple in the
Chinese music scene since she moved back from Los Angeles to Beijing in
2002. Hired as VJ for MTV China. In 2004 she founded Ziyo one
of Chinas longest running and most popular indie bands (later becoming
Free the Birds in 2010 after changing musical directions). In 2007 she
co-found the seminal Chinese electronic group Pet Conspiracy. Within the
next three years she sang the theme song for Hollywood blockbuster The
Mummy III, won several of the most prestigious Chinese Music Awards
(Midi & Chinese Music Awards), hosted the Vice Creators Project,
co-found FakeMusicMedia and toured Europe three times -- a fact that
until this day very few chinese bands have achieved.
Upon
culmination of her final whirlwind European tour as front-woman of Pet
Conspiracy 宠物同谋 in fall 2010, Helen quit the band and, took a few days
off in Istanbul to prepare the next steps for Free the Birds自游.
But
the powers of the city had different plans...One fateful night, a chance encounter with Roman
electronic-cowboy Rodion (Gomma Records) gave birth to NOVA HEART.

A sinister disco beat, buried under haunting
soundscapes make it sound as if naked ghosts were dancing
under a mirrorball.
And oh yes, this is exactly where I will be rocking my favourite black vintage lace frock and strutting my stuff. (Plus admiring the artwork obvs).
Come join in the fun...
Tonight from 8pm -tickets available on the door.
