Neoangin!

magenta & punisher

its been a weird 2 months of music with shows all over europe! most of all i remember the grand prix du monde in paris, the police stopping the show in berlin , the human puzzle on stage in moscow and the livepainted tattoos at the comicsalon. 2 more shows to come before neoangin is going back to new york to have a little rest: friday i will play at the magenta party in the CMYK club in luzern and saturday at the punisher party in mulhouse. if you live in these areas please join me for the grande finale!

scratchbook is back

Neoangins 2006 album scratchbook was a surprise to many when it got released: it was considered a clever comment on the ongoing agony of musicindustry , DeBug called it a multimedia masterpiece. it was impossible to download it, because it came together with a 120 pages hardcovered book and most important : it wasnt available for a long time. Now a few copies found their way into NEOANGIN Mailorder headquarter and we are giving them away for only 10 euros plus shipping. And ! the first 10 orders get a personal drawing on the first page....

whatever gets you through the night

only 2 weeks after the almost eternal spring tour ended with a 3 hour show finale in nürnberg, neoangin is throwing a party together with long-time party partner fehmi baumbach in the brandnew gallery tristesse in Berlin. we invited friends from everywhere to play, exhibit, show their films and do whatever they want. bands playing are frau kraushaar, schlammpeiziger, manou, neoangin and as very special last minute guest chris imler. desert planet from finland will show their movies, florian thalhofer will introduce his "vergessene fahnen project" and theres a splendid groupexhibition that will will make you want to forget that its boring gallery weekend in berlin.

Happy hobo 2nd place at Platten vor Gericht!

Among other rather interesting reviews, “happy hobo” made second place at the notorious “Platten vor Gericht” in INTRO magazine. don’t know how that happened. I always thought we are not mainstream yet. Find out yourself at the second leg of the springtour. The show in Munich’s Kammerspiele will be filmed by an ARTE camerateam so be prepared for some extra stage activity with audience participation. 8 years ago Neoangin played one of his weirdest show in Flux, Vienna where during a 200 minute set 2 kamikazefighters in cardboad masks did parodies on computergames. Unfortunately I don’t have a foto of this memorable set. Free entry in fluc on april 17 for everybody who brings one…

NEW ALBUM IN RUSSIA

My alltime favorite label BAD TASTE is releasing a new Russian only Neoangin album titeled“ hello jim avignon “. It’s a compilation of their favorite tracks of the last 4 regular albums including some rare and unreleased material as well as the main track from the musical “fever”. To celebrate the release there will be shows in Moscow and St. Petersburg next week

the show must go on

one more day to go and they just announced that the trains will be on strike from tomorrow on...... well. if worse comes to worst they will do the trip on their feet. be prepared when they reach your area. they are back, they are ready, they are neoangin and nova huta. tell your friends, tell everybody: if they miss this splendid extravaganza they ll live to regret. for any special songrequest, send an email to jimavignon@yahoo.com. we probably play everything we have. people in paris, watch out for the man with the 20 faces!

2 new videos ready

Neoangin @ Volksbühne

Jens friebe and neoangin not only share the same drummer but also a very charming webmaster. Now jens has invited neoangin to take part in his revue at the famous german theater Volksbühne in Berlin. Other guest of this spiffy night wil be dessert surprise, a young and wild new wave group and Pluramon . of course jens Friebe himself will play a faboulous finale of his almost 2 month long german tour. this evening is bound to be splendid and not to be missed.

Folge 137

Neoangin will compose the music for the new Radioshow "Folge 137" on Deutschlandradio Kultur. Folge 137 is developed by zentrale intelligenz agentur and is a new magazine that is focussing on obscure fringe-group-themes . Each episode will be independent from the others and appears to be a random pick from a program that has supposedly existed for a long time. The first episode ( with Neoangins music) will be about mediocrity and will be broadcasted on feb 24

GONKI is coming to Brooklyn

for the first time in 4 years Psoy Korolenko and Neoangin will be together on stage to perform the songs of their one and only collaboration album GONKI. Following the weird masterplan of mixing eastern songwriting with western electronics, Psoy and Jim just excanged mp3s. it was a surprise to everyone involved that after these 2 months of obscure production circumstances, Gonki became a classic and has been sold out for a long time. Psoy and Jim will share the stage on Jan 4 in a cute little place called Casanovalounge and so far those 2 experts of wildstyle-improvising havent rehearsed yet. Be surprised....
