First feature of this years Haldern Pop bands:

Today: Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires

Its late in the evening, the sun is going down, we all enter the Spiegeltent and we have some cool music to listen to.

Enter:

Charles Bradley (born 1948, Gainesville, Florida), commonly referred to as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul",
is a funk/soul/R&B singer signed to the Daptone Records label under the Dunham Records division.
His performances and recording style are consistent with Daptone's revivalist approach,
celebrating the feel of funk and soul music from the 1960s and 1970s.
One review stated that Bradley "echoes the evocative delivery of Otis Redding".

The World (Is Going Up In Flames)

Charles released his debut album “No Time For Dreaming” in 2011 at the age of 62.
Can you believe that?

Before his musical career he had hard times: no jobs, no money, no home.
This is reflected in his lyrics.

“This world
is going up in flames
and nobody
wanna take the blame
don't tell me
how to live my life
when you
never felt the pain”

Why Is It So Hard?

And never forget: The golden rule is LOVE!

Golden Rule

See you all in the Spiegeltent!!!

Aloha hey Welt da draussen,

Heute nur ein kurzer Beitrag da in einem Internetcafe verfasst.

Am Montag hatten wir die Freude "Band Of Skulls" live im Gleis 22 in Münster zu erleben.

Sweet Sour

Tja und was soll ich sagen: It blew me away.

Die Intensität mit der die drei ans Werk gingen, der harmonische und elektrisierende Gesang von Russell Marsden und Emma Richardson und der Sog ihrer genialen Songs erzeugten eine intime, intensive Atmpshäre.

The Devil Takes Care Of His Own

Wenn ihr die Chance haben solltet sie live zu sehen: hingehen, hingehen, hingehen.

Fires

Ah yes and for everyone with english mother tongue: Go and see the "Band Of Skull"!!!

Why? See:

I feel the drums of my tribe
beating away in me

they are a hard long scream
a ghoul gangrene

i nibble stones for bread
yell no amen for me

they are this night
all just breaking glass

drums, i write you from afar
hear my pounding heart

“Wopko Jensma”


"And So I Watch You From Afar" are a three-piece instrumental post-rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band consists of Rory Friers on guitar, Johnny Adger on bass and Chris Wee on drums. They write largely instrumental music with group vocals in parts; Rory writes a lot of the music, but they arrange and contribute to these songs in the rehearsal room as a three-piece to make them into finished ASIWYFA songs; it is an ever-changing process.

At the end of August 2011 one of the four founding members, Tony Wright, left ASIWYFA and now plays music in his solo project VerseChorusVerse.

They released two albums:

The one from 2009 was self-titled and contained great songs such as

Set Guitars To Kill

or

S is for Salamander

In 2011 they launched their album “Gangs”, which could enter the Irish charts, including songs like

BEAUTIFULUNIVERSEMASTERCHAMPION

or

Search:Party:Animal

They continue to play gigs all over the planet and their fan base is growing fast. You could join them. Enjoy and let us know.

And don’t forget:

If it ain't broke... break it
