Today's Picky Pick: The Marivaux

J'adore!

They name themselves Indie-Rockers from Manchester, but I personally think they are much more than just "indie".
Ok, you might be thinking: "Not another British 'rock' band!", but hey, it's a Picky Pick, so you better listen to their songs. It's worth it.

Their live performances are even greater than their recorded songs. I really, really adore what they are doing.

Genre: Indie Brit-Rock (?! let's invent a new word for their genre)

Today's Picky Pick

Pascal Bonnard

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression”

It’s the nature of the beast: To find a real good Picky Pick, you have to seek for a looooong time. Usually.

But this time -ha!- all I had to do was leave the office and turn left.

What I found is as great as unique, as cool as hot and as rockin’ as rollin’.

Pascal Bonnard, a Freiburg citizen, combines the coolest riffs with a sometimes soothing, sometimes sensationally exciting voice.

And he’s a real rockstar: cool, ambitious and rocking :)

Genre: punky Rock’n’Roll

Explicit Recommendation: Pretty Face

Where to find: Myspace Youtube

Conquerin' the world :)

Unbelievable:

The blog is online for two weeks only and we have fans all over the world already!

Germany, the States, Austria and Spain used to be listed in statistics since the first day.

Recently Canada, Russia, France and Norway showed up, too.

But what really surprised me is the fact Peru (!) is catching up pretty fast.
As it seems there are a lot of people who are interested in music :)

Otravez:
Bienvenido a mi blog!
Me gustaria presentar cantantes sudamericanos. ¿Quien es tu cantante preferido?
¡Enviame un mensaje y avisarme!

Abrazos y saludos de Alemania

Today's Picky Pick: Factory Dolls

Whoa!
This is cool sh**!

These guys are amazing. Barney Stinson would call them "awesome".

You want to know which band I'm talking 'bout?

FACTORY DOLLS

Their sound is kinda Garage/ Punk Rock, but with a great own touch that makes it unbelievably great.
The band exists for only two years (hope, that's correct...they are very stingy when it comes to infos about them).

Explicit recommendation: "Selfish House"

You should have a look at their pages and give them a LIKE:

Today's Picky Pick - MonaMusicGroup

I met these guys in April in LA at Musexpo, a great music summit.
About 500 people were participating, 300 of them artists.


I only remember 5 artists. And the picture these guys burned into my mind is definitely the most vibrant of all.


They are from Miami, but I personally think they should move to Europe. 
This is European electronic sound straight from the East Coast.


If you like their music as much as I do, give them a like on facebook!

Yesterday's picky pick

Yesterday all hell had broken loose over here and -shame on me!- I forgot to post the picky pick...


For all of you who have been waiting, here it is:

The Timmy Rough Band

Timmy 

 Their sound is cool, classic Rock, with a great attitude provided by Timmy.
His voice is really smoky and their songs make me happy everytime I listen to it.


You should have a look at their page: Timmy Rough's myspace profile

They were part of many great tours and supported bands like Molly Hatchet, ZZ TOP, Joe Bonamassa, Black Stone Cherry, etc.

We are currently planning a tour through the States in April/May.


All venue dates will be posted here and on their page as soon as we fixed 'em.

Staff Training

Psychology is getting more and more important in today's businesses.


That's why we are having a psychological coaching this evening.
It's great to be reminded of what I have studied at University...if you haven't heard that stuff for a long time, you are about to forget it.


And what are we learning over here? It's all about trust.


That's what makes a company work effectively and efficiently and what is building great consumer-company-relationships, or -how we would say- artist-manager-relationships.


I can't wait to see how good/ bad we were able to implement the rules into our business behaviour.

W-O-W

It doesn't happen very often...I was speechless!


Now you may ask yourself why...okaaaaay:
Usually, the area where I live (beautiful Black Forest, Germany, Heart of Europe) is not the "place to be" when it comes to great (not good, great!) music...but this time...whoaaaa


www.myspace.com/insidemelinaband


I saw them at their CD-Release Party last Friday and they just blew my mind.

Their CD is packed with great songs that remind me of Creed, Avenged Sevenfold, Limp Bizkit....can't describe it. A new, unique, incomparable sound.


I can't wait to support them! 
They belong to the States and to huge stages!
