Opening Night/Release Party Melodica Compilation #2
Friday 11.11.2011, Lokal e.V.
Max-Brauer-Allee 207, grüne Villa, 5€ at the door.
20:00 - 20:30: Jona Byron (AUS)
Jona Byron has a unique voice that balances somewhere between Grant Lee Phillips, Elliot Smith, and the late Jeff Buckley. But there is no mistaking his lyrical aphorism and his approach to music, which is raw and painfully honest.
20:40 - 21:10: Halla Nor∂fjör∂ (IS)
Icelandic Singer-Songwriter Halla Norðfjörð has already established herself as one of the most prominent newcomers on the Icelandic scene. With a captivating voice that makes you feel like you’re breathing liquid bittersweet love and yearning instead of air, Halla has mesmerized crowds around Iceland, Denmark and Polland with her soulful lyrics, humble stage presence and gentle fingerpicking.
21:20 - 21:50: l.f.singer (HH)
Deeply scandinavian l.f.singer from Hamburg, plays jolly good songs. Mostly sad and melancholic in topic, his songs are performed with the brightest smile and grin, which pretty much portrays the down- and the upside of life and everything. Melancholicious, if you want. Youtube users commented his videos with enlightening statements as: “real nice voice” or “thats the son of my neighbours.” Which he is, by the way. Can he be the son your neighbours too?

22:00 - 22:30: Mijo Biscan (AUS)
Mijo has accrued the respect and adoration of music lovers all over Australia and Europe for his intense live shows. Ranging from the intimate and gently delivered prose in music that will leave you wondering where you just went, to the enlivening, bombastic chant anthems, enough to start any mild riot.
