YouTube channel created, first video uploaded

The title says it all: I just created a channel on YouTube, called "Stefanie Singh [Sound Kitchen]" (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUcseGQNE4QyLezbXDtckCg). 

The very first video I just uploaded there is the one of U.K. Subs performing "Endangered Species" together with Michael Monroe at "Klubi" in Turku / Finland on 31st January 2014. 

Enjoy! :o)

Next gig: Finntroll / Deathstars European tour rescheduled

So, first of all: My LIVE review about the punk rock event on last week's Friday at "Klubi" here in Turku / Finland with TV Smith and U.K. Subs (feat. Michael Monroe) is online, written in both German and English: http://www.spiderwitch.com/index.php/konzerte/197-live-rewiew-u-k-subs-tv-smith

There is also a nice picture which U.K. Subs guitarist Jet took from the audience in Turku and posted on different social media platforms afterwards. Maybe you recognise the girl on the left side of the picture? ;o) 
 

Ok, what else? Well, Deathstars have rescheduled their entire "Claws Through Europe" tour which was supposed to start on 15th March 2014 in Stockholm / Sweden. We were planning to go to that kick-off show and maybe to the shows in Hamburg / Germany (17th March 2014), Berlin / Germany (18th March 2014) and even some other cities as well. It's always nice to combine this kind of events with the possibility of meeting good old friends. And what can I say now? Thank God, we haven't booked and paid anything for that tour yet! And it's already the second time that something like this happens in the recent past: Last time we wanted to go to Hamburg, Buckcherry and Hardcore Superstar preponed their common Hamburg gig from 8th December 2013 (Sunday) to 5th November 2013 (Tuesday). Also then, we were really lucky that we haven't booked and paid anything before the preponement was announced (And, no, we were not able to make it to the new date...). So, what do we learn from this? It seems that one cannot really rely on anything in this scene anymore. Gigs are postponed, preponed or cancelled, tours are re-scheduled or cancelled... It happens awfully a lot these days! Probably no big deal if it happens in front of your door - but definitely a big deal if you are travelling somewhere for an event and book and pay flights, hotels et cetera...

We are currently planning some other trip which is combined with a gig - but that trip has a special background behind, the gig itself is rather a minor matter and some of us are even counting on a cancellation of it anyway, so there is not much to lose... ;o)

In general, time will tell if such trips combined with gigs will still pay off in the future. At the moment, I'm rather doubtful since many things in this scene seem to be have become rather fragile... 

On that note: I'm looking forward to the next gig which is going to take place at "Klubi" again - Finntroll! :o)

Punk'n'Roll in Turku with U.K. Subs, TV Smith - and Michael Monroe!

A punk rock concert here in Turku / Finland was on this week's agenda for Friday. So yesterday. The U.K. Subs and TV Smith were performing at "Klubi". And as if that wasn't cool enough, guess who joined the U.K. Subs for one song on stage last night...


Yes, no-one less than the one and only Mister Michael Monroe... What a nice surprise! The cherry on the cream, so to speak. Living in Turku truly rocks!

The corresponding LIVE review is going to be published soon... 

Until then...

My journalistic portfolio: Neon Lights & Sleaze Nation (2011 & 2012)






Hello everyone! :o)

After being told like all my life that I should use my journalistic talent, I started to work as a music journalist in April 2010. First for one magazine - but further ones were added quite soon...

I always write in English language, quite often also bilingually in English and in German language, and nowadays my works are even translated into Russian every now and then.

Ever since I started to work as a music journalist, I listed all my works in blogspot posts called "My journalistic portfolio" and published at least two parts of them each year. Now, after being active for over three years, I decided to keep everything a little more recent, so this is now a collection of all my works for the Russian glamzine "Neon Lights" (www.neon-lights.info / http://neon-lights.ru) & the Belgian Sleaze magazine "Sleaze Nation" (http://sleazenation.be/home) in the years 2011 and 2012.

"Neon Lights" is bilingual (English / Russian) but since I have no clue about the Russian language, "Neon Lights" is the first webzine I started to write for monolingually: In English language only. Nevertheless, all interviews done by me for "Neon Lights" are also translated into the Russian language. The collaboration between "Neon Lights" and me started in February 2011. First, I just contributed two LIVE reviews to "Neon Lights", but from summer 2012, our collaboration became more intensive.

"Sleaze Nation" is monolingually English despite its headquarters in Belgium. Our collaboration started with the year 2012.

All my works are listed in chronological order, independent from the magazines it was published by...

Have fun while reading!
