Music: Sister Chain & Brother John and Daniel Colletti

One of the Berlin residents from the Autosport Forums alerted me to a gig in one of the many cafes+bar+clubs in Berlin. So, together with Martin, I decided to go check it out. Intersoup can be described as an Asian cafe+bar, but with a very limited menu (comprising of soups and dumplings). However, the food was very good!

The opening act was a solo Goth guitarist, Daniel Colletti. The lyrics were in German, so can't really comment - but Martin said that it was quite depressing. Well, it was goth music ... Musically, rather unimpressive, but it was interesting to hear live music in a strange language.

The "star act" was a duo that describe their music as Victorian rock, and was described by the venue's flyer as "experimental rock". The duo, an Englishman playing bass or electric guitar, and a woman (who could speak German, not sure if she is German) who was the main vocalist. It was certainly very interesting music, and the lyrics were very cool - some were funny, some were serious ... but all very interesting. I think the closest mainstream act I can think off that they could resemble, would be Björk. Martin was so impressed, that he bought their EP!

Overall, it was a good night of food and music!
