  1. Just to mention;

     

     

    OFFICIAL: Want to win an EXCLUSIVE VIP 10 min meet & greet with the band & awesome prizes? Join the OFFICIAL UPLIFT SPICE street team now & enter the contest!!!!

     

    Linkage: https://upliftspice.jammer.fm

     

    This seems to be purely based on Facebook-shares so if you don't like facebook you'd better stay away - but if you don't mind sharing stuff over there (which is the purpose of a good street-team regarding online-promo anyways) this is a good chance to win the VIP-status for free...


  2. Well, the tour already started a few days ago... I wonder why nobody is posting this stuff *sigh*. Guess I can't let this be the case as I really love these guys (sorry for being late here - I'm busy atm). Sadly Rika (the bassist) left the band in the meantime but I guess they're good enough even as a duo (drummer is either support-member or drum-machine - since the tour is named "2 do what 2 fetch" I guess it's a drum-machine/computer this time). I've seen them like 6 times already over the years and it was always a great experience (they're even one of the first japanese bands I've seen live)!

  3. but my favourite is Cryptography, I'd love to learn about it more and maybe someday get a work connected with it

     

    You should start with Bitcoin Mining or Crypto Currency in general then - really interesting field to get immersed in!

    (I'm a small-scale Bitcoin Miner myself, it's quite addicting :P)

     

    Oh, and welcome to mh btw! =)

  5. As I'm not a gamer I wouldn't call my laptops "RIG's" but in a sense they still are as I use them for work, for messing around with various Soft- and Hardware, and also for info- and entertainment. The Specs are pretty ok for my usage-scenario (480Gb SSD on the main machine, 2.75 TB external dive space, a few Antminer U1/U2+ for Bitcoin mining)... Overall I'm pretty happy. I'm running on used hardware most of the time since it saves a lot of money but still is good enough for me (and I have the skills to repair and outfit/upgrade most of the stuff myself), the older MBP is a model from 2006, the newer one a model from 2008...

    And yeah; you can clearly see I'm totally not a geek/Nerd whatever... ;p

  6. I don't have the setlist from Vienna, sorry... Maybe it will be released soon, maybe not.

    Just take a look at the one from Poland - they seem to play all of these songs and just shuffle around the order a bit.

    If it's not one of my favorite bands I usually don't take so much care about the setlist to be honest.

     

    Autographs after the concert are accessible to all visitors btw (as always; official merch only).

    Pictures together with the band are VIP exclusive...

     

    Another thing to mention: the concert started about 1 hour later then announced, this was the case for Berlin also... maybe this will get better with more dates but just to mention it (it had nothing to do with technical or venue-staff, the band just arrived later then expected).


  7. Show in Vienna was pretty nice! These guys are really friendly and easygoing... The music is more in the uplifting, fun and happy side - good to shake your hands to. I also want to mention the 2 nice japanese girls who are following all concerts of the tour - they do some crazy dancing and are a pleasure to watch dance-routine and even headbang-wise... feel free to talk to them, they seem shy but are happy about it :)

    If you still haven't decided - I'd say you can't really go wrong with this concert :)


  8. no video this time (you guys could really contribute more here... I feel so lost :P)...

     

    I just wanted to mention that SWIM SWEET UNDER SHALLOW released their 3rd Single as a FREE DOWNLOAD!

    It's nice, laid back stuff with female and dual vocals... Simple but good, I like their stuff so just grab it while it's there.

     

    2 of the songs are already on their 1st album, the 3rd track is a new one I guess.

    So maybe this is more for people who didn't know them until now.

  9. LOKA are coming back already this summer!

    So who've missed them last year or liked the show there's another chance to see them.

  11. Babel, a project with the singer of 'Lost in the Fog' (check them out if you like this one) just put up a new MV on Youtube a few days ago… It's really really soothing and nice stuff, can't explain the genre - just give it a try. The special thing about Nene (the singer - a girl) is that she uses a made up language - but nonetheless it fits this music-style pretty well so I don't care about those "lyrics" in her works (others have done similar stuff before) :P

     

    Babel - Holy Day

     

    PS: I don't want to be the only one posting here… D:

    tune in plz, I know there are more Indie-lovers around here, no need to hide! =)


  12. zakonekotower released their 2nd mini album a week ago and put up a trailer on Soundcloud yesterday...

    short but good enough to get an impression, the album is available on iTunes (info: http://zakonekotower.com).

     

    『杳として』trailer / Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/zakonekotower/koyghuv5pfr7

     

     

    and zekkai kujira released their 1st demo recently... good enough for my list to watch out for in future.


  13. and then there are PVs with all cutesy images and music where you'd never expect what happens later on...

    this one would be a good example (the fun starts at around minute 2:00 if you can't stand the happy part);

     

    Oishiihanashi - Pink Fluffy Monster


  14. another good hint for strange PV's are HIFANA... they have these crazy animated PV's with unique characters. But it matches their music style perfectly so I see it in a good way - it's very nice stuff actually. I can see why some people might find it strange tho.

     

    HIFANA - Hanabeam

     

    HIFANA - WAMONO


  15. oh, I love Kiiiiiii actually! I know them for quite a while, they have this nice artsy and child-like approach - but I think I get it, so I don't consider it strange - I see it as a sub-genre (other artists in pico pop or minimal electronica also do similar things as far as I remember)...

     

    but then I found this here where I'm not too sure about the intent... it is compareable to Kiiiiiii at some point I guess...
