Moody Mascott

I simply can’t resist… I have to post this
One of my favourites musicians alive is showcasing his remarkable triangle skills next Saturday, the 27th of February in Bern at the Jazzwerkstatt…
The man, the icon, the master of trianglism, leader of the secret society of trianglism in secrecies (SSTS) non other than legendary MOODY MASCOTT will grace the stage with one of his rare solo showcases…
So don’t miss it it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity
… and bloody hell I will sit in a plane heading back from Nairobi and miss it
Anyway here comes the press text:

moody macott ist ein ausnahmetriangelist sonder gleichen. während der therapie seiner anabolikasucht entdeckte der gebürtige dubliner das dreieckige instrument für sich. als klar wurde, dass ihn nicht nur leidenschaft, sondern auch talent mit diesem instrument verband, beschloss moody mascott an der dublin school of music den triangel zu meistern. 10 jahre intensiver arbeit waren nötig um den weltbekannten triangelisten hervorzubringen, den wir heute als moody mascott kennen. moody mascott hat die strömungen des postmodernen und posthumanen triangelismus begründet, mit der gruppe 'moody & the triangels' schrieb er popgeschichte, im duett mit max metall (einem weiteren triangelisten der ssts) schuf er bewegende zeitgenössische ernste musik.

bei der jazzwerkstatt, am 27.2.2010, haben wir nun die grosse freude einen der raren moody mascott solo-auftritte ankünden zu dürfen. begleiten werden den schönen triangelisten seine kollegen von 'kommando trash' - flat frederik und tastenhans - sowie weitere gastmusiker, denen mascott in seiner langjährigen karriere begegnet ist, und die zu dieser gelegenheit sein immenses talent mit den ihren unterstützen werden.

The Kommando Trash Phenomenon

On Saturday the 28th of February I was invited to one of the hottest secrecies coming out of the Capitol of Switzerland. A thing called Kommando Trash invited friends and groupies to a very special live gig in the Kommando Trash Box aka Kiste. The Line up was absolutely massive with an Intro DJ Set by Flat Frederic and The Lexxus, which could be gained as DJ for the Kommando Trash Gig on this Night, followed up by the first Kommando Trash Gig where they actually performed some of their song live, and as a Sweetie The Lexxus was playing the newest in Bass hefty Music after the gig. So I went to Bern well prepared for a Basss hefty Night just to realise on arrival that I was completely wrongly dressed for this Madness.
Thanks to the lovely help of the Groupies and the Members of the Kommando Trash I got redressed in a half hour into a hybrid of a eighties roller skater disco member and an officer of the DDR Olympia team in Bowling… I looked absolutely ridiculous!



The Box was small and pretty soon rather crowded. The Kommando Trash Gang was working in full effect before the party to install beamers and to insulate the Party Box so that none of the neighbours would get disturbed more than needed…
The Party was very nice and mad as a Hatter! As It turned out I had to play the Triangle with Moody Mascot and Mau Mau to support the Secret Society in Triangleism in Secrecy and the Kommando Trash during their Set. Still now more than four weeks after this legendary event I’m not able to describe this madness and freshness of that Night! It was unbelievable!
Funniest thing of the Night was the Black out during the Live gig… all of a sudden everything was dark and all the technical stuffed died on spot. The Crowd was very supportive and started to be really noisy. What happened? Well, one of the neighbours pulled out the fuses for the apartment. So not a real problem, fuses back in and start over! After a few moments, again the lights out and everything out! And again the fuses pulled out and this time the neighbour even took away the sockets for the fuses… anyway better than to call the police… Smart as some people are still when they’re completely drunk the fuses and sockets of the washing machine were token and installed. And start over again this time on room volume… wicked! Neighbour your plan was smart, you took the fuses out to have your deserved silence and the crowd goes ten times louder than the music before on the moment of the Black Out… but still… Assante sana for this solution…
Largin’ up the Kommando Trash and the Groupies and all supporters! This Night a Legend was born!

A few weeks ago I saw this in the newspaper. What isn’t mentioned in the article is the fact that the Kommando Trash was main act on the night. It’s good to see that other people give themselves a chance to celebrate a completely mad night with the Kommando Trash. And just three days ago a saw the following article in the 20min weekend edition. As you can read even Miss Friday is enjoying the Trash!
