And some news regarding MrMinikBooking:
I've been doing this booking stuff for more than 4 years now and it's been life changing in many ways. Put on some great shows and got involved in VOID Fest, travelled a lot and saw some beautiful cities and countries all over europe, met some fantastic people (which some of became real good friends over the years) and of course - met so many great bands and musicians!
It's always been a hobby i've been doing in my spare time just for bands i really loved. Even though i made some real good connections over the years and all tours worked out well, i've never been able to take the next step and do it more professional.
Well things change and now i'm very happy to announce that from now on there's no more MrMinikBooking - but i won't stop working.
You may have heard of the fantastic tourbooking company named MAGNIFICENT MUSIC based in Berlin (who for example did KADAVAR and THE FLYING EYES Tours last year(s)). We've been in contact for a long time i now got offered to work as a agent for MM!

I'm feeling honoured and really looking forward to put some energy and passion into my "new job" :) Thanks Äxl for your confidence! Let's get it on!

GONGA (Bristol,UK) team up with MrMinik . euro spring tour - taking offers now!

Hello dear Friends,Booker and Promoter,

this time, after quite a long break i can offer you a brandnew brilliant band in my roster - hailing from Bristol in England - massive GONGA!

Formed more than 10 years ago by the brothers Tom and George the instrumental power trio creates heavy riffage stoner and brings a massive and powerfull live show to your venue!

Recommended for Fans of Earthless, TonerLow, BlackBombaim, KarmaToBurn, TheMachine,...

T.Elgie - The Drummer
G.Elgie - Guitarist
Latch - Bassist

Clawing their way out of the dank blackness of their riff research laboratory and hungry for the flesh of new twisted listeners, Gonga bring forth a new offering – a Concrescence.
In the five years since their last outpouring of un-anchored HeavyRock, Transmigration, Gonga managed to lose/fire/upset every bass player in the region. Brothers Thomas (dramatic battery) and George (riff philosophy) having survived war and mental abuse from the outside world found a new phenomenon walking the golden triangle right in front of their (third) eyes; a specialist in detail – you could say a time-stretch professional. And so, Latch self-sacrificed himself to the group before he even joined; the perfect combination of Geezer Butler and Cliff Burton muttering arcane wisdom.
A trinity of Earth forms was instantly created; bull, goat, ram. The strength of the triangle allowed the 3 to set about HeavyRock construction. Without singer the aim became to create aural landscapes for band and listener to use as a launchpad for remote viewing, for mental and spiritual enlightenment and for emotional therapy. One could refer to it as instrumental HeavyRock for the philosophical connoisseur.
Riff research and late night experimentations led the trio into unexplored territories of voiceless riff/rhythm. Years passed and the brew grew strong, as did the urge to commit the aural paintings to vinyl.
Six tracks, two sides - Concrescence, a region of complexity in comparison to its surroundings.
Gonga hail from Bristol, UK. This is their third album. They have toured with Mondo Generator and High On Fire and have performed at DunaJam in Sardinia, Glastonbury and Download Festivals as well as recording a Maida Vale session for Zane Lowe (Radio 1). Their favourite colour is black or green or something probably.

BLUES NEWS - BLUES PILLS CONFIRMED FOR ROADBURN 2013 / FIRST FULL-LENGH

Hello dear fuzzers,

I'm very proud  to announce that one of Swedens finest and again one of MrMiniks jewels called the BLUES PILLS are going to hit the stage at 2013s ROADBURN FESTIVAL!

In addition to this sweet news the band also announced today that they're going to enter the studio and record the eagerly awaited first full-lengh album soon!

THE BEST BLUES MEDICINE COMES FROM SWEDEN! BLUES PILLS CONFIRMED FOR ROADBURN 2013

We’re very pleased to announce that Sweden’s Blues Pills will be making their appearance at Roadburn Festival 2013 on Thursday, April 18 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
After their abrupt departure from Radio Moscow, drummer Cory Berry and bass player Zack Anderson grouped with classical-trained Swedish lead singer Elin Larsson and French guitar player Dorian Sorriaux to form Blues Pills, a dynamic hybrid between blues rock of the 60s and the heavy 70s. Think heavy, driving bass lines, colossal drums and ferocious, riff based, soul-penetrating guitar work, tied together by the incredible soulful voice of Larsson, sometimes singing in her mother tongue, and whose timbre, range and power is reminiscent of Susan Tedeschi and Janis Joplin.
Blues Pills‘ sound is very diverse as shown on Bliss, their 4-track debut for Crusher Records. The band has put lots of emphasis on both dynamics and emotion by bringing out beautiful harmonics, escaping the the typical 12-bar form for Peter Green‘s Fleetwood Mac-inspired melodies and a more progressive Zeppelin-like structure.
With our fondness for Swedish rock (we have invited the likes of Witchcraft, Graveyard, Dead Man, Horisont, Troubled Hourse, Spiders et al to previous festivals) it’s not surprising that Blues Pills are appearing at Roadburn 2013 and not just because they are Swedish…but because they bring out the best heavy 70s inspired rock we have heard in a long time.
Roadburn Festival 2013 will run for four days from Thursday, April 18th to Sunday, April 21st, 2013 (the traditional Afterburner event) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
