Space Rock Party, Minden, Papagei, 01-14-2012

Last Saturday Minden saw a psychedelic space rock party at the location 'Papagei' which definitely reminded me of the good old 1970's. Nearly hundred people came together in a pleasant mood and celebrated a special evening, food and drinks for low prices inclusive.

GOLDKANTE opened this inspired event - a trio which plays totally improvised space rock in the vein of Oresund Space Collective in a wider sense, speaking of extended jams featuring a bunch of guitar variations, a unique and fascinating element is that the drummer uses his voice like an additional instrument here and there. They are in the act of producing their debut album.

The experienced space/trance outfit WELTRAUM this time appeared with a reduced line-up (didgeridoo and second guitarist missing) - but surprised with a highly energetic kick-off. Propulsive drums and percussion, a fuzzy guitar, quirky synths - this ultimately impressed the audience. They convince with joy of playing and excellent interaction - so overall this has been an entertaining performance.

	Indeed, thanks! I miss good ol' space rock! Chicago was once considered the "capital of space rock" (early 1970's) with local bands like Stratosled, and constant presence by Amon Duul II etc.!
