BUDOKAN BOYS
Budokan Boys is the weird-music project of composer Jeff T Byrd and vocalist Michael Jeffrey Lee. Formed in New Orleans in 2014, they now live in Berlin and Vienna. They’ve released albums with Tymbal, Baba Vanga, and Ever/Never. Their fierce and darkly-comic live shows combine off-kilter electronics, bizarre narratives, seedy saxophones and squealing slide guitar—each song its own crooked little world. https://budokanboys.club/

E C H O 3
Philipp Nykrin - piano & synth
Beate Wiesinger - bass
Michał Wierzgoń - brums
In diesem Trio werden die Stücke von E C H O BOOMER in ihrer rohesten Form gespielt und in ihrer Essenz durchleuchtet. Als Einstimmung ein Zitat aus dem Song “Independence Day” von Elliott Smith:
Future butterfly
Gonna spend the day higher than high
You’ll be beautiful confusion
Ooh, once I was you
I saw you caught between
All the people out making a scene
And the bright ideal tomorrow
Ooh, don’t go too far, stay who you are

smallforms is a platform and music label for contemporary and experimental forms of music which require an attitude of listening. the monthly series consists of recording sessions in the afternoon and concert/live set in the evening – joining forces with electronic allies, spoken word, spinning tunes or sweet stuff of pop culture that may lead to the underworld (or hell). Team: Alisa Beck (Programm), Gustavo Petek (Programm, Label), Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe (Host).
