Cassandra by NÄD MIKA

★ Part VII of the series of articles for STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4 with the topic "Re-Thinking PUNK!".
This article refers to the sub-topic "Androgyny / Fetish / Queerness" again (Part 2).

"Cassandra is never the same..."

In December last year, NÄD MIKA produced a music video for her amazing & wonderful song "Cassandra" (from her gorgeous new album "Liebling Bang Bang"). Professional TV-filmer Katha Gramke filmed several days during extremely heavy weather in different in- and outside locations in Berlin and also in Brandenburg in a very nice enchanted area. Containing nearly everything from scenes in an old castle over a misty and rainy lake to BDSM-scenes with a nude model and nightly cold Berlin street scenes, the several hours of film material have been cutted now by same-professional film cutter Susi Hecht and will be presented for the first time in public and exclusively in the uncensored (!) version at STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4 on 17th of January at Urban Spree (Berlin-Friedrichshain)!!! ♥

Here you already can listen to this great song (opens in new tab):

The "Cassandra"-Video includes more hidden and not so hidden links to our STYLE! IT! TAKES! project than you ever could count... it's amazing!!! Thanx so much, Näd, Katha, Susi & Anita!!!

Video will be screened two times that night, around 22.30 h and around midnight! ♥

"... in the flashing light - oh, your skirt is bright..."

After midnight, NÄD MIKA will perform an amazing record release show of her magnificent "LIEBLING BANG BANG" album, wearing a breathtaking outfit by WUNSCHGESTÖBER fashion designs and coming with her saucy & cheeky dancer ANITA...

LATER HOURS with POPSIMONOVA, ZARKOFF & DJs

Magenta in a dress by KNOTH KOUTURE introducing POPSIMONOVA at

Style! It! Takes! @ .HBC on July 7, 2012

      

Here you can listen to one of my favourite POPSIMONOVA songs and read the lyrics.
She performed this amazing song live at this very special Night of Fashion, Performances & Music.

POPSIMONOVA

Falling Down Tonight

Tonight, stars are falling down tonight

Tonight, satellites are crashing down…

Tonight you come and take me with you

I dress grey hair

I wear green eyes

We walk in silence

Empty road

Listen to trains

Explosions inside

I don't have any words for you

Shine in my eyes tell you all

We’re broken inside

Stars – falling down tonight

Satellites – crashing down…

All around us is a part of us

All around us is a part of us

All around us is a part of us

No outside – there is no inside

No outside – no inside

All around us – part of us

POPSIMONOVA on 7th of July 2012 @ STYLE! IT! TAKES! @ .HBC Berlin

POPSIMONOVA creates her own dresses, she wears fashion design made by herself: LANA JASTREVSKI. Phantastic!!! ♥

Take me for a walk on the skyscrapers

Take me for a walk

Grey city

Steel city

Dead city

We left our knowledge in childhood

In dark hallways – street corners

We don’t search

For a way out

Take me for a walk on the skyscrapers

Take me for a walk

Stars are falling down tonight
Satellites are crashing down…
And we are – falling down tonight

Popsimonova after the show in her great blue dress and one of our nice guests, the musician C-drik

We walk in silence
Empty road
Listen to trains
Explosions (illusions) inside

I don't have any words for you
Shine in my eyes tell you all
We’re broken inside

ZARKOFF at his 2nd show during the night.
He had already opened the night with CLEA CUTTHROAT dancing and performing FRÄULEIN KINK.

All around us is a part of us
All around us is a part of us

All around us it’s a part of us

ZARKOFF live @ .HBC Berlin

No outside – there is no inside

No outside – no inside

 

DJ ERIC VAN WONTERGHEM

We left our knowledge in childhood

In dark hallways – street corners

We’re prisoned in our own freedom

 

Take me for a walk on the skyscrapers

Take me for a walk

Grey city

Steel city

Dead city

Party: C-drik (left) and NORA BELOW (right)

Stars are falling down tonight

Satellites are falling down tonight

We are – falling down tonight

Shine in my eyes tell you all

We are broken inside

We don’t search for a way out

POPSIMONOVA

Popsimonova

STYLE! IT! TAKES! A specific night of fashion, performances & music

6th of July 2012 - Berlin City @ HBC near Alexanderplatz

POPSIMONOVA is an amazing Electro / Industrial / Techno act from Zagreb / Croatia performing live at the STYLE! IT! TAKES! - Event in Berlin this summer.

She is also creating fabulous fashion designs.

*

POPSIMONOVA started as one of the founding members of the female electro band Dekolaz in Croatia around 2006. After their break up in 2008, she started her new solo project called "Popsimonova", providing a powerful live act and clearly touching doors of the first age of the classic EBM and cult underground electronics. Lana has the sexiest voice and vocal style I've heard in electronic music in ages. Her songs are as vibrating and flickering as a night out in big city nightlife. She never stops and has a wild and lovely attitude.

She's got the style it takes...

*

POPSIMONOVA performed many live shows in most of Europe and in South America.
