VELVET CONDOM Self Injury / Kalter Lippenstift

 

STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 freut sich, eine unserer Berliner Lieblingsbands, die aus Frankreich kommende Wave-Pop-Shoegaze-Band VELVET CONDOM bei unserem Berlin Fashion Week-Sommerfest am 6. Juli 2013 im wundervollen Garten des CHALET Clubs in Kreuzberg begrüßen zu können!

STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 is happy to announce one of our favourite Berlin based bands (originally from France) for our Berlin Fashion Week summer party on the 6th of July 2013 in the wonderful garden of the CHALET Club in Kreuzberg:

VELVET CONDOM
Wave-Pop-Shoegaze

Velvet Condom by Johanna Marie Bodeux

Hier ihr phantastischer Klassiker "Self Injury" von ihrem 2007 in Straßburg aufgenommenen Album "Safe & Elegant" (erschienen 2008 bei Cymbeline/Enfant Terrible):

Here's their fantastic classic "Self Injury" from their 2008 released album "Safe & Elegant" (Cymbeline/Enfant Terrible), recorded already 2007 in Strasbourg / France:

VELVET CONDOM: Self Injury

Ein paar sehr frühe Presse-Stimmen zu ihren ersten Veröffentlichungen /
Some very early press quotes about their first releases:

"This album is hopefully only the first of many more releases, as this is one of the best independent (electro) pop records recently released… This album could well be hottest release for this summer."
(Enfant-terrible.nl)
"This Album has no genre. And it’s all the better for it! It deserves not to be overlooked." (Artrocker)
"BEST UNSIGNED ELECTRO BAND" (Gothic Magazine)
"Mit ihrem Knaller 'Kalter Lippenstift' landeten sie bereits auf jeder einschlägigen Tanzfläche in den Szene-Clubs von London, Paris und Berlin." (stadtmagazin07.de)
"Die Band hat in den vergangenen Jahren beachtliche Erfolge erzielt. Alice und Oberst P. haben mit Songs wie 'Kalter Lippenstift' oder 'Never Ever' nicht nur Tanzflächenknaller geschrieben, sondern glänzten ebenso durch grandiose live Performances. Die 2006 erschiene Debüt EP lief in ganz Europa in einschlägigen Discos und Clubs. Live sind Velvet Condom ein absolutes Muss!"
(Deaf Blind Dumb)

... und hier VELVET CONDOMs großartiger erster Hit, "Kalter Lippenstift" (mit deutschem Text) /
... and here VELVET CONDOM's great first hit, "Kalter Lippenstift" (with German lyrics):

... in the summer garden of CHALET

Die Suche nach einer geeigneten Location für STYLE! IT! TAKES! gehört zu den schwierigsten, bisweilen aber auch interessantesten Aufgaben jeder Veranstaltung. Da es bei uns ja nie langweilig werden soll, habe ich mich - wie bereits am Ende unseres Manifestes angedeutet - für die Juli Fashion Week für ein sommerliches Setting entschieden und im zauberhaften Garten des CHALET Clubs in Kreuzberg einen beinahe magischen Ort für unsere Shows gefunden...

Dreaming of STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 at Chalet Club Garden (May 2013)

Finding a suitable location for STYLE! IT! TAKES! is one of the most difficult, but sometimes also most interesting tasks of every event. Since with us it should never get boring, for the July Berlin Fashion Week I decided on a very summerly setting - as intimated already at the end of our Manifesto - and found an almost magical place for our shows in the enchanting garden of the CHALET club in Kreuzberg...

Der Chalet Club von der Straße aus / The Chalet Club from the street

Letzten Sommer hat sich ein Teil der ehemaligen Bar25-Crew dem 1850 erbauten, denkmalgeschützten Sternenhaus vor dem Schlesischen Tor angenommen (früher war hier das "Heinz Minki") und es zu einer angesagten Kulturstätte umgewandelt.

Chalet is a club owned by former Bar25 crew members. It's housed in the center of Kreuzberg in a 150 year-old building, which "radiates the warm atmosphere of the 19th century."

Der Chalet Club hat sogar eine eigene Bushaltestelle / Chalet Club even got its own bus station (Bus 265 (N65) > S Schöneweide: Heckmannufer)
 It's also close both from U 1 Schlesisches Tor and S 41/42 Treptower Park (located in the middle of these stations)

Everything fashion bloggers need... great music, tobacco, beer, a cigarette holder, whiskey, a diary, a camera and - a pond! (^.^)
