Savetier’s New Wave Journey

Posted on 8th September 201611th September 2021 savetier

July 2016 – finally I could make my dream come true: Travel to Northern Italy and meet all the great bands, about which I have been writing for years, in person. Through these I also got to know other musicians from that region. On July 16th I picked up Cyrene

The Berlin Spirit

Posted on 10th July 201611th September 2021 savetier

While writing these lines, I am on the bus leaving Berlin. I am vividly replaying last week’s highlights in my mind. Am I ready to leave this city, the city and its spirit, behind? No, I am not, never was. Therein lies the lure of Berlin. The city catches you

The Vision of Industrial Progress

Posted on 15th May 201615th May 2016 savetier

Friday the 13th of May 2016 – a date that will write history in Slovakia’s second largest city – at least for the alternative and dark culture. On this date the Kaschau Industrial Gathering took place, the first bigger industrial/ dark music format in Košice.

What happened to… Ronny?

Posted on 28th March 201617th February 2022 savetier

Can you imagine a hybrid between Marlene Dietrich and Annie Lennox? A music between the sounds of the Weimar Republic and synthpop? For a short while such a blend existed, in style as well as in music. Most pioneers of synthpop in the late 70s/early 80s were eager to surround themselves with

Posted on 31st December 201528th September 2021 savetier

Wow! 2015 was a great year for alternative dark music. While spending my New Year’s eve in the German capital of Berlin I managed to compile a solid best-of list for you – not without a little help from my friends – thank you! As there were so many good

European Steampunk outfit Victor Sierra just have released their third full-length album with the title Go for the Strange.

Now that was an awesome weekend in Ljubljana! I met some old friends, drank coffee with my favourite professor – who had taught me many many interesting things about anthropology of popular music and culture during my studies back then – , and attended two amazing concerts. On Friday there

Goodbye, Viva Zwei

Posted on 2nd June 20152nd November 2015 savetier

I don’t know why, but the last night I dreamed about Viva Zwei. 13 years ago the era of the TV-channel faced its closure. With its focus on alternative music and idiosyncratic concepts, Viva Zwei was unique for German – and, supposedly, even international – television. This is a lament to a
