<p>On July 24th Atari Teenage Riot suddenly took over the mainstage at FUSION FESTIVAL near Berlin, Germany.</p>
<p>The crowd smashed the barriers and invaded the stage during the song &#8220;Revolution Action&#8221;.</p>
<p>Director Zan Lyons was able to capture what was happening on camera.</p>
<p>Alec Empire:&#8221; It was surreal! Totally amazing crowd! Nothing got broke, nobody got hurt! Fusion Festival is a great event. There is no corporate sponsorship, it is politically charged as well. The alternative is possible, we just have to make it become real! We make music so people participate and join in&#8230;we don&#8217;t want people to just consume that stuff in a passive way&#8230; so of course for us playing Fusion in 2010 was mindblowing!&#8221;</p>

<p>we are partying in Amsterdam tonight. having a great time. not these dumb drink yourself stupid so you forget times, it&#8217;s more like we met so many supporters again, people who really care&#8230;and after months of recording for films this just feels great!</p>
<p>on the way to here I read this German article about how &#8220;young people&#8221; don&#8217;t care about politics anymore and that whole blah. Well, I have seen the exact difference &#8230;and not only at our shows, the G20 rallys, Mayday&#8230;Heard &#8220;Chaostage&#8221; Berlin Premiere was sold out in minutes.</p>
<p>To the fifty year olds who try to analyze what&#8217;s happening: the new codes are different, they are more complex. A t-shirt doesn&#8217;t mean much if you don&#8217;t know the person who wears it. We are in disguise.</p>
<p>Will post more soon.</p>
<p>Never give up the fight,</p>
<p>Alec</p>

<p>we can only comment&#8230;if you give enough monkeys a laptop, the chance is very high that at some point a justice album comes out of that. it was always deeply disturbing that the only good track was the one with SMD&#8230;..and they even ran that in their shows&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<h2>IM NEBEL DAHEIM</h2>
<p>Text: Andreas Richter , Photo: Christoph Voy</p>
<p><strong>Indian Jewelry</strong></p>
<p>Als es mit Indian Jewelry los ging ? die immer nur offizi?sen Quellen deuten auf 2002 ? da gab es Indian Jewelry noch gar nicht. Zu Beginn war es eine Reinkarnationsmaschine irgendwo in Houston, Texas, deren immer wieder wechselnde Namen nur leidlich dokumentiert sind und deren immer wieder wechselnden Mitglieder bis dato lange Listen f?llen. Als Indian Jewelrys unmittelbarer Vorl?ufer gelten <strong>NTX+ELECTRIC</strong>, als Ursprung der Swarm of Angels.</p>
<p>Halt! Mein Fehler. Der Chronologisierungswahn ist die schlimmste Charakterschw?che dessen, was gerne als Popjournalismus wahrgenommen werden m?chte. Und dann auch noch als Einstieg! Unverzeihlich. Insbesondere hier, denn tats?chlich geht die Geschichte von Indian Jewelry zur?ck bis zur Entstehung des Universums. Vermutlich sogar noch weiter, aber diese Gedankenleistung, das hat uns die Band anvertraut, soll das n?chste Album ausmachen, die m?ssen wir an dieser Stelle nicht auf uns nehmen.<br />
Bleiben wir bei den Fakten. Es gibt keine. <strong>Indian Jewelrys geistige Essenz ist die versuchte Antithese zu Warhols ?15 Minuten?-Prognose und deren gegenw?rtige Ausw?chse. Wir reden hier von den Pr?zedenzf?llen einer positivistisch polternden Realit?t der Ruhmverteilung.</strong> Wenn also die Tankwarte oder Handyverk?ufer mit ihren ungeschulten, aber irgendwie so richtig ber?hrend klingenden Stimmvolumen mit Close-up auf die gern mannigfaltig vorhandenen k?rperlichen und geistigen Gebrechen ?ffentlichkeitswirksam durch die Konzerts?le und Prominenz-Abdeckereien gepeitscht werden. Und zwar so ?ffentlichkeitswirksam, dass es sogar die noch Minderbemittelteren mitbekommen. Denn auch wenn es dir rundum beschissen geht, keep the dream alive!</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WH9hGgfp0uQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WH9hGgfp0uQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Weil, den kann dir keiner nehmen und wer wei?, vielleicht blinzelt Gott dich als n?chstes an, doch selbst wenn du es nur bis in den Recall schaffst, um die Urheber- und Verwertungsrechte k?mmern wir uns in jedem Fall, dort einmal kurz unterschreiben bitte, danke.<br />
In der Realit?t Indian Jewelrys ist jeder gleich unpopul?r und noch nicht mal die im Kollektiv akkumulierte Unpopularit?t greift nach den Sternen. Hier haben wir eine ma?gebliche Abgrenzung zu solchen spektakul?ren, zentral dirigierten Massenaufl?ufen wie Arcade Fire, Polyphonic Spree oder Bright Eyes, die in jedem ihrer choralen Hooks nach dem Feuilleton kr?hen.</p>
<p>Das Kollektiv Indian Jewelry funktioniert eher wie eine demokratisch organisierte, nichtentgleiste Variante der Manson-Family. In ihrem richtungslosen Ideologiebrei arbeiten ausreichend gutm?tige Hippiemotive, um sich selbst glaubw?rdig als Medium einer woher auch immer r?hrenden Energie zu verkaufen. Man darf auf den Kosmos tippen, vielleicht auch auf Libido oder die Abgr?nde der Existenz. Woher das alles kommt, in den Liedern von Indian Jewelry, ist nat?rlich nicht egal, aber wer m?chte da schon seinen Finger darauf legen. Die Band selbst ja am allerwenigsten. Von deren Seite gibt es noch nicht einmal Konzessionen in Richtung einer nachvollziehbaren Aufgabenverteilung. Niemand ist an ein Instrument gebunden, die Vitalit?t des Bandk?rpers generiert sich aus st?ndiger Neuordnung in der Horizontalen. Erfreulicherweise materialisieren sich die mystischen Str?me durch den Bandk?rper als Noise-zerfurchte Romantik, als h?chstes aller Shoegaze-Gef?hle und als geheimnisvoll vernebelte Tribal-Regression.</p>
<p>Das gerade aktuelle Album ?Free Gold? kokettiert mit dem, was die Band gerade nicht ausmacht, gleich auf dem Coverartwork. Mit einer Pyramidenstruktur, die entfernt an die Maslowsche Bed?rfnishierarchie erinnert. Spricht man sie darauf an, bekommt man genau die Unverbindlichkeit als Antwort, die das Wirkungsprinzip der Band wiederherstellt. Es hei?t dann: ? Ein Freund von uns hat das Artwork gemacht. Er hat auch jahrelang in der Band gespielt. Er operiert in einer komplett anderen Welt, deswegen sind wir selber noch nicht dahinter gekommen, was die Pyramide eigentlich bedeuten soll. Es ist eine Frage des Vertrauens. Wenn er meint, es m?sste eine Pyramide aufs Cover, dann glauben wir ihm das.?<br />

<p>Die syntaktische Eindeutigkeit der Zeichen und ihre semantische Uneindeutigkeit sind der Kern ihres Ausdrucks und das wesentliche Mittel ihrer ?sthetischen Inszenierung. Es ist nicht so, dass Indian Jewelry das unwillk?rliche Umherwerfen mit Codes und Slogans und Symbolik erfunden h?tten. Tats?chlich geh?rt das Wegducken unter Ironie-Installationen und das Versteckspiel im Zeichenwald zu den Hauptdisziplinen einer avancierten Hipsterkultur, die sich im Abseitigen auf der richtigen Seite w?hnt, weil ihr f?r die Orientierung im Diesseitigen sowohl die Eier als auch die Kompetenz fehlen. Als ein typisches Beispiel hierf?r sei die ach so provokativ und widerspr?chlich ausgeschm?ckte Myspace-Seite des Yussuf Jerusalem (sic!) empfohlen (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/ridersofallah">www.myspace.com/ridersofallah</a>) &#8211; er tanzt nur auf der Spitze des Eisbergs dieser Kanaillen. Nat?rlich kann man Indian Jewelry in diese Szene der neuen Referenz-ratternden Uneindeutigkeit einordnen, die tats?chlich auch hin und wieder kommerzielle Spitzen ausspuckt. Siehe MGMT.</p>
<p>Nur ist Indian Jewelrys Uneindeutigkeit gefestigter, subtiler und auch pointierter als die der verstiegenen Konkurrenz. So pointiert und verdichtet, dass sich aus der Widerspruchsreibung, es entweder mit einem minuti?s ausget?ftelten Plan oder einer neuen Form von Dada zu tun zu haben, ein absolut einzigartiges Unterhaltungsmoment ergibt. Man h?rt ihnen im Gespr?ch gerne dabei zu, wie sie mit stirnsteifer Miene im Angesicht der aktuellen Rezessionsszenarien die gewaltsame Zerst?rung der M?rkte fordern, wie sie zwei Minuten sp?ter Theorien ?ber die Aufhebungskraft des aus Kreativprozessen gesch?pften geistigen Reichtums hinsichtlich einer realiteren Ebbe im Geldbeutel entwickeln (?Wenn du in unser Haus nach Houston gekommen w?rst, als wir dort das Album aufnahmen, h?ttest du einen Haufen Million?re getroffen, die den ganzen Tag mit einer verdammten Zigarre im Gesicht durch die Gegend laufen.</p>

<p>Ein Album aufzunehmen positioniert dich automatisch ?ber dem Geldadel, wenn du dieses Bild auf menschlichen Reichtum anwendest.?) und wie sie selbst eine originell formulierte Bandbiographie zu einem Vexierbild aus Realit?t, historischen Bez?gen und purem Nonsens ausdeuten. Angeblich seien sie von einem Historiker namens Ted Sands darauf hingewiesen worden, dass es sich bei Indian Jewelry um die Fortsetzung der Meriten einer gleichnamigen, str?flich unbeachteten Band aus den siebziger Jahren handeln w?rde. (<a href="http://www.nowwearefree.com/indianjewelry.html">http://www.nowwearefree.com/indianjewelry.html</a>)</p>
<p>Indian Jewelry treiben ein Spiel aus Legendenbildung, aus selbstinszeniertem Spinal Tap, aus Kontextualisierung in einem Raum des Grotesken und aus leidenschaftlicher Identit?tsverweigerung. Warum sie allerdings in den letzten Jahren in berechenbarer Regelm??igkeit Tontr?ger ver?ffentlichen und das auch noch unter einem fixen Moniker und mit relativ unver?nderlichem Personal, das steht am Ende als die unerkl?rlichste aller Widerspr?chlichkeiten. Vielleicht wollen sie mit all dem ja doch ein wenig Ruhm absch?pfen.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IF YOU CAN&#8217;T MAKE IT IN HERE (BERLIN), YOU CAN MAKE IT EVERYWHERE</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">?Oh man, <strong>Crystal Castles</strong> played a fucking insane show at Maria last night!? A friend of mine, literally hopping up and down with excitement, more or less screamed this in my face recently. In fact, had he been any more switched on I think it might have ended like a scene from Scanners;<strong> I half expected his veins to start bulging and his head to explode.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I thought to myself: ?What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Is he on drugs? Has someone put bleach in his drink or something?? Nope, that was pure, unadulterated glee at having witnessed one of the musical events of the year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, I was at the self same CC gig at <strong>Maria</strong> and quite where the ?fucking insane show? was I have no idea because I?d obviously gone to the toilet when that happened and I?d completely missed it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What I do have a vague memory of is turning up at the venue, asking the girl on the desk if the gig had started (?Yeah, they?re playing their first song now.?), checking my coat in, having a quick pee, buying a beer and by the time I?d got myself a spot to stand and watch the show (this was a Stand And Watch for me, not a dive in and get killed in the melee kind of show) it was flippin? over. Literally. I mean, I?m not that slow but I guess it took me all of fifteen minutes or so to get in, get myself organised and find a suitable vantage point.</p>
<p>OK, maybe fifteen minutes is a slight exaggeration. But we?re probably talking twenty minutes tops. Coat check was quick, toilets were empty, bar was deserted. What took all the time was navigating my way through the seething pit of evil which was the crowd. Now that did take a while?and quite a lot of courage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They were going absolutely bloody insane.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>It was like the Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah or the </strong><strong>Burning of Rome or some such other historical tragedy.</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I wouldn?t have been surprised if, by the time I got through them all to the other side, I emerged completely naked because it felt like my clothes were being squeezed off. Although that wouldn?t necessarily have been a bad thing since my clothes seemed to be drenched with everyone else?s sweat anyway so I stunk to high heaven even though I?d barely moved.</p>
<p><strong>Crystal Castles at Maria were a prime example of the distorted view of reality we end up with when viewed through the kaleidoscope of hype.</strong> I was there, I watched, I heard the songs, I saw the performance and aside from a moderate amount of hip-swinging I permitted myself on Crimewave (which even I have to admit is a mighty choon) I didn?t feel at all inspired to go wild, tear out my hair or smash up the furniture. This was a gig where the atmosphere seemed to have been dumped there right out of the pages of a music magazine?CC brought along their media baggage with them and so did the docile kids in the crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">OK, sorry <strong>Alice and Ethan</strong>, it?s not your fault. CC are an OK band as far as I am concerned but that?s it. They?re OK. Their incessant chiptunery sounds rather unique in today?s musical climate but even that?s been done before and after two or three songs in a row it does rather make you want to stick your head into blender. They?re a cute, stylish duo who the media scooped up and everyone topfriended on Myspace.</p>
<p>If only people could step back and analyse a bit more before eating everything the music press spoon-feeds them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After all the CC show at Maria was a real stinker for the poor saps (or should that be dedicated fans?) who actually bothered to spend money on a ticket. Blink and you?d miss it.<strong> Indeed, I think I have had wanks that lasted longer than CC?s set and in the end were ultimately more satisfying.</strong> And what of the crazy, spazzed out crowd who 10 minutes before had been jumping around like their lives depended on it? Well, as soon as the gig was over they picked up their <strong>American Apparel</strong> hoodies and left. <strong>No come down. No buzz. No remnants of crackling energy because it never existed in the first place.</strong> They?d turned up to Hot Ticket of the Season, done what was expected of them, then went back home to do their homework. As simple, and as pre-meditated, as that. I guess what was important here was not whether you?d had a good time or not, but whether you were there or not.</p>
<p><strong>So how long are CC going to be able to sustain a career built entirely on a wave of anticipation?</strong> After all, once everyone got keyed into the whole CC thing, what they really wanted all these months was an album and that is out ? and a rather predictable affair it is too. So what?s to wait for now? Vol. II? Crystal Castles Remixed? Crystal Castles Unplugged? Crystal Castles Sing Your Favourite Hits from Mary Poppins? Time will tell if they can evolve into something new and remain for the long run as valuable contributors to popular music or if they?re going to burn out and be remembered as nothing more than a vaguely interesting curio. Now that will be something worth seeing.</p>
