"Had Herpes? I now and then. Was not a good experience!" Today everything is different. Promised.
"we danced until the end / to the heartbeat of the best music / every night every day / We almost thought it would be a victory." (Missing colors, "that was years ago)
all about. Everything. I stand around and marvel at just dull. About what happened there. About the frictional heat in the audience. The twitching bodies. The punks. The girls. Over those who do not have enough to get the beer, and again each load. And on, still giggling over the name of the band: ".! herpes I had ever Was not a good experience," Today everything is different promise The first bass note of the space between the stage melts.. and dance floor. getting smaller. disappear. It will zugeprostet hurry before the first squeal of sneakers audible on the floor of a dance. Superimposed on these first steps in the hall of herpes and their hysterical spooky Artpunk, who note in order to note peeled off the pit and again and again at 30 years of music history by scarring after Punk: From Devo the reduction in the false color the equation of banality and policies of the new German wave, the irony. Herpes verwuseln these elements Come From The Kiss ten songs that are so urgent, therefore, as if you had been waiting on them. With the wrong colors and 1000 robota you share now the same label (wallpaper), and then you will certainly be very proud. For the former, and that you should certainly understand that as a compliment, herpes may even step in as support.
herpes have so magnificently positioned for 2010. And yet, you can see from this whole label internal fertilization and from the increasing wind, sail with the Berlin on the Spree river to the ocean, so all this excitement not unfounded. On wallpaper flowers of a plant that is badly yearns for a larger pot. Because it all fits: the PR stunt by the name, connected to, all the metaphors throughout infection, which can be beautifully packed in sets and, ultimately, the powerful songs.
Less is more. And better.
makes sense, the musical approach of herpes. This revolves around the Pole reduction and compaction. A trick which even Devo have learned from punk and Dadaism and refined further. Well, that still works today. Yet while Devo have raised the minimalism the only valid principle, is to shorten herpes just a set piece of a larger whole and acts as a balanced concrete surface for the hysterical verbiage of florian pühs who knows how to combine intelligence and banality in a congenial manner. Pühs embeds misused live philosophical phrases in sentences that have no fear of clichés or environment. And though lines like "The fridge is empty / and I'll take everything serious' ( scattered ) in the first moment the rhyme-you-or I-Hau-out button will bring to light up, so right, these phrases in the musical context. For what is left over from this reduction is the essence into which no meta-level everything can move. What should be said is said. As clearly as possible.
elsewhere is exactly the opposite of the case. While synthesizers and bass sounds the same always give of themselves and by no means boring, it creates Pühs to talk into a rage and gets the post-modern for about two minutes to return to its rightful place. How therefore act hastily assembled collage pieces of the Berlin-herpes ( on a Sunday in August , gallery , Very Berlin), facing the the banal to the political. The one knows, of course, the Golden Lemon or Peter Hein , but Herpes preserve here their own language, without going through as a cheap imitator.
