Kyla La Grange, in the wake of Florence Welch and Daughter

This past Saturday I was pleasantly surprised at the Metric concert in Manchester to find a girl who will give plenty to talk about. He calls Kyla La Grange, was born and raised in London (despite having roots that come from South Africa and Zimbabwe) and promises to give us a lot of emotions with the release of "Ashes", a debut album due out July 30 and already has a simple - 'Walk Through Walls' - which shows the karat arising from their music.

We read in his Facebook page that La Grange is a fan of Cat Power, Leonard Cohen, or Modest Mouse but it is impossible not to think of Florence Welch to hear this new single. From the songs into the stratosphere of Kyla to the epic instrumental melody heard in the background, everything has that dark and monumental attraction that charmed us so much in "Lungs" and "Ceremonials".


Even so if we look at other singles find that the style of La Grange is really versatile. A time can approach the hot paths of Daughter ('Vampire Smile') while others can enjoy indie rock land and produced less of what is heard in the last LP of The Jezabels. The latter is 'Could Be', a great cut that grows with the second and in the London shines in a very, very special.


If you liked some songs I highly recommend that you approach your official online store. In this website you can make you much of the issues published to date and also order a new LP that promises to give us much joy in the coming weeks. Kyla, we do not fail!

By Sabine on the sofa

Sabine Nallinger applies for the OB candidacy of Munich and is already open in the internal party election refreshing new ways. Because of urban policy and a sunny afternoon at the gardener's place do not go together: the second time the "Green Couch" took a lot of encouragement and has shown how great is the people's desire for a greater say. It is also inconvenient truths Nallinger holds back.
Of course, the theme was "Radlhauptstadt" again a big issue. Sabine Nallinger accuses the administration and the SPD, to be guilty because the coalition agreement in the agreed improvements for cyclists - for example, the dragon road - are still not implemented. For the most recent serious accidents Nallinger does, however, responsible above all the manufacturers of truck: "We fly to the moon, but it's still not managed to find a solution to the blind spot."
City policy on Gärtnerplatz - the idea of ​​green coffee comes from Ludwig Hartmann, who moved during his election campaign in OB-country mountain with a "green coffee" by the city. He does not have as much luck with the season: instead of mulled wine flowed in Landsberg Bionade.
A lower control dogs was the day before the first coffee date in the Sendlingerstrasse the claim of a citizen. Sabine Nallinger is no one who runs the risk of talking to the people they want to hear: "I think 30 cents a day is appropriate."
Green Visionaries on the Victorian sofa. Ludwig Hartmann, energy spokesman and member of parliament Greens, and Sabine Nallinger, since 2008 the Munich Councilwoman Green. Both wish for "an end to the small-small". "We need, given the influx of 20,000 people at last year vision," says the graduate urban planner. The city had been the last few decades only managed yet. The last city development plan was almost 50 years old. Applause from the audience at the Gärtnerplatz.
"It makes me sick," complains David Benjamin of the urbanauts, son Xavier in the picture on the situation of child care in Munich. Sabine Nallinger makes the slow Genehmigunspraxis, deficiencies in the daycare responsibility and promises more support for the many private initiatives. "It can not be, an initiative that pays the rent for months, and do not know if they will ever see the license."

Again and again it comes to car-free city. Most of those present wanted fewer cars and more space for pedestrian and bicycle paths. Sabine Nallinger refers to the blockade of the SPD and hopes for new majority status after the local elections in March 2014.
Hoenning Nicholas, head of the Munich Open is next Hep Monatzeder one of the two intra-party rivals to the OB candidacy. For him, the lack of childcare, the central theme of the municipal election and OB-2014th
Lest we forget where we are: even an OB candidate is watched closely by the authorities. An official called Sabine Nallinger on during the event, whichever regulatory approval.
Also can be uncomfortable Sabine Nallinger: This is evident when we asked questions are: "Will you stand up for a free or cheaper public transport?" And the answer is the full-time transportation planner MVG "No!" - Just for families!

No fear of Wagner

 I started to go into musical theater, I was not at the works of Richard Wagner really trust range. Siegfried is the third opera in the cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Usually they will be listed along with the other three plants Das Rheingold, Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung within a few days, with a total performance period of more than 16 hours. But before the length you need not to fear, Wagner, which has created entertaining pieces that the time flies by. For a long time I have allowed myself to scare them, I thought, too, for Wagner's music and I was not intellectually mature enough. But this is nonsense. Any music that you hear not only the mind but also with the heart, the right music. And Wagner has it, evoke emotion with his melodies, could there be any film composer a leaf out of it.
The story of Siegfried is best understood if one knows the previous operas, however, sufficient in the case of the production of war Andreas Burg at the Bavarian State Opera, the performance itself, in order to follow the action on stage can. He has settled the Siegfried, not in the mythical past, as Wagner wanted it, but rather somewhere in the nowhere, but a precise choreography of the extras and realistic actions make it easy to understand the process and relationships.
Junior Giants hero Siegfried forces Mime and blacksmith would use it for is to bring the Ring Cycle in itself, because this means endless power. However, the guarded by a giant who has been transformed into a dragon. Mime is now desperate, a sword that Siegfried can withstand forces to forge, but he does not succeed. As Siegfried sets himself on hands and forge a new from the fragments of Excalibur, the sword of his father Siegmund. To use all anger must mime his head even as security in a quiz and Wotan, the one-million-euro question to answer, unfortunately not. Wotan in the shape of the Wanderers he prophesied that Siegfried as one who is able to forge new Excalibur, will be his executioner.
siegfried1Also must relinquish Siegfried. A mixed flight Zaubertränkchen that will incapacitate, Siegfried, when he captured the ring. Siegfried kills the dragon, costs of his blood, and can at once understand the birds in the forest. One warns him of Mime, which he then promptly kills Wotan's prophecy and thus can be true. Guided by Waldvogel he finds Brünnhilde on her rock, by her father Wotan in the previous section, The Valkyrie, was exiled there. He mastered all the dangers and can win Brünnhilde for themselves. Whether they are still living or died, then we learn in the last part of Götterdämmerung.
It's always easier to agree on a, shall we say non-traditional staging involved, if you previously have no other has seen. For me it was the first Siegfried and I enjoyed the evening very well. Director Andreas Kriegenburg has closely listened to the music and then put into motion. There are lots of really great directorial ideas, such as that Siegfried the magic potion that will kill him, actually, on his sword drips and mime, it later licks, appropriate to the text as "Taste 'you my sword, nasty gossip!" (Wagner stood on alliteration) and mime to accidentally kills himself and is not slain by Siegfried. Or mime, which looks like a nerd and constantly pushes his glasses on his nose and Siegfried mimics him in this movement. There are so many incredible hidden details there that I would like to see me again. Of course, missing in this production days implications, but you need the really good?
siegfried2Die stage of Harald B. Thor is really worth seeing, for it consists largely of people. The dragon (you can see only his head) is made up of extras, like the fire to Brünnhilde's rock, or the trees in the forest. It has something playful and poetic, like all awarded to the piece. What else is on stage structures that form as Mime's smithy, including from the extras, maintained and dismantled. Really impressive and the audience thanked with loud applause for this great achievement.
Musically it was a scenic and exhilarating evening! Lance Ryan is a very young hero, but he pushed it certainly is not easy part, as if he does this every night twice. In the game he was, like all his fellow singers, very well, and brought every facet of his role (rascal, hero, lover) believable on stage. Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke as Mime was also terrific. Catherine Naglestad touched me very much and as Brunnhilde Anna Virovlansky enchanted forest as a bird. Wolfgang Koch was an impressive Alberich and Rafal Siwek was a powerful voice of the dragon, while Thomas J. Mayer and Jill Grove as Erda hikers were rather pale. The orchestra under Kent Nagano was excellent, I was assured from an authoritative source, even I can not judge the likely Sun Definitely a night I would like to repeat again.
