If you guys did happen to make it to the USA, do you think you'd be able to make a quick stop across the border to Toronto?

This might not be fully in our hands, but we’ll try to make that happen. Natascha really wants to go; as a result of her huge Weakerthans fandom, she tends to rave about Canada quite a bit.

Hopefully we can make this whole thing work out in 2014.

One crappy cellphone picture of RIKA supporting Francis International Airport, 14 May 2013, WUK Vienna

While this looks like a screenshot from a dreamy 80s synthpop music video, it is actually a photo of 3/4 of Rika (and 1/2 of Sweet Sweet Moon in the background).

Seriously, you guys, Rika are one of those very few bands that you can go see over and over again and their songs become better and more magical with every listen.

Good times! It looks like I’m wearing a tin foil shirt in this picture. Trippy.

Plus: FIA killed it, check out their new album if you haven’t already.

Could you release your LP on google play / google music somehow?

I can’t even access Google Play without Google asking for my nonexistent credit card data, so if it’s not already on there, probably not. I might ask our label/distribution about it. You can always check out our Bandcamp, or iTunes/Amazon etc., if that is an option.

Count Your Lucky Stars: CYLS 50th release EXTRAVAGANZA!:

cylsrecords:

We have been waiting and planning this day for what seems like years now, and the time is finally here! It’s hard to believe we have been a label for 7 years, and we never expected we would even put out 15 records, let alone 50+ (Technically, we are probably closer to 60 already). But here we are…

CYLS goin’ HAM. read the whole thing.

Count Your Lucky Stars: Album Review: Rika - How To Draw a River, Step By Step

Count Your Lucky Stars: Album Review: Rika - How To Draw a River, Step By Step:

already-heardmusic:

Rika are an Austrian band, singing in English, and sounding as though they were playing in Midwest America fifteen years ago. Frankly, it’s a winning combination. There’s a lot more to Rika than location and influence, however. ‘How to Draw a River, Step by Step’…

walzerkoenig: Naked Lunch - At The Lovecourt There are...

Naked Lunch - At The Lovecourt

There are remarkably many shots of bums and remarkably few couples making out for a concert. There are close-ups of concert photographers and people who play in other bands that are amazing.

And for the first time, I am sort of relieved I couldn’t go; I have the suspicion that my concert face is the worst and I certainly don’t want anyone to capture it.

our drummer’s concert face:

1) what´s your favourite place to hang out? 2)where would you like to play a concet 3) what would be your favourite band to play as a support 4) your favourite pet 5) is it possible to have a pet cow? 6) favourite movie 7) worst movie 8) eternity

1. Home.

2. I’d like to tour the US, which probably won’t be happening anytime soon. Other than that, i don’t really care where we play as long as it’s fun.

3. Playing with bands we’re friends with usually makes for the best evenings, so our show with FIA should be fun times. Other than that, Lil B. Or Fleetwood Mac.

4. Brösel, see three posts down.

5. I googled “pet cow” and this image came up:

YES.

6. I’m not really big on movies. I enjoyed Ulrich Seidl’s Paradies trilogy recently. I watched this one a zillion times when i was a kid (somehow came to mind right now). Also, Asterix Conquers Rome was on TV last weekend, and the scene where Obelix eats all the meals from the cook of the Titans is an all-time classic.

7. This.

8. ∞

If E!E! end up touring Australia, you guys should come too!

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:21:20 +0200

When are they touring Australia? I would love to, but we won’t be able to tour anywhere outside Europe until next year and even then a US tour is our first priority. We also have to get Nasch to board a plane without tripping out first!

what's this?

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:08:58 +0200

What’s what? That’s that.

We want more pictures of your sweet little mascot! :)
