MeoW

PROGRAMM

MeoW – das ist mit der türkischen Sängerin Cansu Tanrikulu, dem norwegischen E-Bassisten Dan Peter Sundlund, der amerikanischen Keyboarderin Liz Kosack und vor allem dem amerikanischen, inzwischen auch an der Spree als Wahlberliner lebenden Drummer Jim Black die ultimative transnationale Zusammenführung radikaler Elemente im Geiste von "zerbrochenen Metal-Grooves wie Hiphop und Electronica, Free-Jazz-Explosionen eingeschlossen." (Gregor Dotzauer, Der Tagesspiegel)

MeoW "isses, spits, shrieks and laments." (Henning Bolte, All About Jazz)

Und in der Selbstbeschreibung klingt MeoW wie folgt: "Oscar, that slink of a chique feline brother, is one heavy cat. With each graceful step, the soft tips of his ample manehairs ripple and sway like a hot grassy field in Ankara in a stiff summer breeze in a really nice sort of way if you like that kind of imagery, and he does, those are the same golden digs of his kittenhood. When this swanky big boy runs, he’s not inclined to stop. A solitary fellow, he plays it cool, though sometimes in the shade of the evening, a lonely cat seems to peer out from those come-hither eyes. Oscar once fell asleep next to a shipping container and ended up in Pireas, Greece, where he became active in a colorful underworld dealing in rare avian specimens, and promoting free jazz at shifty venues. Under an International Red Alert for Vicious Predator accused of heavy birding, Oscar fled his home ottoman, got himself a lovely gentleman collar, and made his way to Germany. Now based in Berlin, he’s more into the furr-improvising aggressive groom metal scene, and has never looked back. He detests programmatic music and cat puns. he cat stand it. MEOW, he protests. MEOW MEOOWWW!! desist! mrrrrraAAAAAAEEEOOUUU!! the caterwauls echo from windsor terrace to trondheim …."

Erstmals losgelassen werden die "Cats" nunmehr in Graz bei "open music"!
