VERFREUNDUNGSEFFEKT

Hey hey, so that last post was pretty funny huh? AND i didn't even have to make any of it up... crazy. Although i'm pretty tempted by it, especially the possibility of receiving an email report about what we could be doing to get bigger. One thing we thought of all by ourselves was to get Jen Calleja in the band, you might have seen her at our most recent gigs. So far the response has been "You're much better". So far, so good...

Anyway Jen, whilst she isn't improving our band, likes to keep herself occupied with a plethora of other creative outlets and one of these has been creating and editing a German culture magazine called Verfreundungseffekt (it's a playful pun on the term verfremdungseffekt, coined by Brecht, meaning in very simplified terms as "making strange" or "distancing effect" but also containing the German word for 'friend'. Geddit?). Other members of Sauna Youth and our extended creative family are involved in the contents as well as a load of other fine people. It is finally ready to go and be printed and she has organised an event to celebrate its existence... i'll hand you over to her for the details -

Verfreundungseffekt Magazine – Launch and Exhibition
Heimat Museum, 44 Marlborough Avenue, E8 4JR (close to Haggerston Rail) http://g.co/maps/4p68

Verfreundungseffekt is a German-English language magazine exploring ‘Germanness’ and ‘The Angloamerican’ designed by Joseph Hales and edited by Jen Calleja. The magazine and exhibition assume cultures to be mythologies created by the tourist or the emigrant from another nation, with this perspective raising questions about the performance, idealisation and stereotyping of nationalities, as well as the possibility and problems of translation and comprehension.

Verfreundungseffekt is a more ethnographic record of the modern-day émigrés moving from the UK to Germany/Germany to the UK/America compared to the academic, over-analysed and generalised accounts of a country’s history and culture. The magazine was formed from an appreciation of German culture and language and a wish to help promote it, and will stand as a document of the individuals who move between the world of the German and the world outside of it.

The exhibition will run Friday 24^th February – Sunday 26^th February, with the Magazine launch from 6pm – 9pm on the Friday and a ‘Curator’s Talk’ at 2pm on the Saturday.

BARGIN

For the attention of...... BANDS FROM BRIGHTON !!

For 2012 we’re offering out a BRAND NEW consultancy/advice service...... mainly for unsigned bands and artists.....   See below for details:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s pretty straight forward, we basically come to YOU, ....... we’ll sit down for an informal chat, discuss where the bands at right now, make sense of where you are and then offer out some direction.........

It’s a kinda ‘helping hand’ for bands not sure how to move forwards..........   we can breed a little bit of HOPE, POSITIVITY and DIRECTION into things..........it’s no frills, good solid honest advice to up-and-coming bands that need a bit of guidance.....

We'll email over a report the next day......  like a *summary* of what we talked about and what the band should be doing to get bigger.....

The HOURLY RATE we charge is £50 – and if you take a second hour its half of that, so £25......  so a 2 hour session is £75......  It’s VERY CHEAP and we’re only really covering our costs and time..... (travel is included in the that) .....So it works out about 10 to 15 quid per band-member......  so we’re not out to rip anyone off!  

ALSO...... we don’t do contracts.... and no signing of bullsh’t paperwork....  and all we ask is that the band pay in CASH on the day before the session starts.    Its a simple as that.

Let us know if interested or if you want any more info........CHEERS
