Zurich (EN) : Zurich, 12.02.09: Birthdays, hot spots & fast food

 
 
Stereo Total
 
 Live at Hive: Stereo Total from Berlin get Hive’s third anniversary celebrations started with their mix of chanson, electronica and pop. They list a dozen other inspirations including old synthesisers and Brigitte Bardot. All in all, appropriately happy sounds for a birthday party.
Thursday 10 pm, Hive
 
 
 
Motorcycle films
 
On the road: Motorcycles are the flavour of the month for February as Xenix presents films that glorify the two-wheel machines. In Psychomania (UK 1971) a gang of zombie rockers spread fear and terror (on motorcycles of course). A horror spectacle full of weird ideas and absurd gadgets.
Fri & Sat 11.30 pm, Xenix
 
 
 
Bar parties
 
 Bar tunes: If you like concerts in bars, you have two to choose from this Saturday, or as Nordbrücke and Bombay Bar are quite close to each other you can even check out both. Nordbrücke finishes its first year and starts into its second with Prinzessin in Not and Rizzoknor. Happy Birthday to you too, Nordbrücke! A short walk away at Neufrankengasse 16, Bombay Bar hosts another Kenya Night with Dada, Riddlah, Blade, MC Staga and Broods.
Saturday 9 pm, Nordbrücke
Saturday 10.30 pm, Bombay Bar
 
 
 
Station 17
 
Hamburg-Zurich fusion: Indie punk meets astute texts and electro beats in Station 17, a successful collective from Hamburg including some handicapped band members. They have collaborated with Barbara Morgenstern, Fettes Brot and Stereo Total (see Thursday) in the past, and one song on their latest album Godsteinvariationen was produced with local DJ Kalabrese. They play at Zukunft this Saturday, followed by Kalabrese, Domenico Ferrari and Valentino Tomasi.
Saturday 11 pm, Zukunft
 
 
 
EPMD
 
 We mean business: Legendary rap band EPMD produce one New York hiphop classic after the other. EPMD doesn't just stand for „Erick and Parrish Making Dollars“ but also for an evening packed with musical delights. If I'm in hiphop mood on Sunday I won't miss it as it's probably one of the last chances to see them live in Switzerland. If you don't have to get up on Monday, there is Da hiphop beat party afterwards, also at X-tra.
Sunday 9 pm, X-tra
 
 
 
Film festival
 
The other film festival: EWZ.Stattkino (formerly volts&vision film festival) takes films and adds other art forms to them. Trafic (18.2) is presented with a live soundtrack by Tosho Yakkatokuo and Hans Hassler, while Grease 2 (21.2) is synchronised live in Swiss German. In case your German’s still in progress, “statt” means “instead of”. I have two pairs of tickets for each of these two films to give away.
Stattkino 18.2 - 28.2
e-mail for tickets (which film?)
 
 
 
Good to know
 
  Fast food: A selection of take-away spots around the city, with an emphasis on the smaller and lesser-known ones. As my list includes a dozen places you'll get the first half this week and the rest next. Pizzeria Dammweg Indische: This picturesque stall next to the viaduct sells Indian curry, Indian Pizza and Lassi. All ingredients are fresh and the service super friendly. City Food Corner: The speciality is the Cityfood Sandwich, a dark baguette with chicken nuggets, cheese and ketchup. Check out their burger video on youtube. Unifalafel: As the name suggests, it's right next to the university and makes the best falafel in town: crispy on the outside, soft and tasty inside, served with salad and sesame-chili sauce in pita bread. Dim Sum: This take-away doesn't have a proper name but it’s right at Walchebrücke (next to the main station at the entry to Platzspitz). A variety of fabulous Dim Sum is available - all prepared of course after an old family recipe (winter break until 25.02.09). Holly-Food: What a beautiful name! They don’t have a speciality, but they have plenty of offerings and everything tastes good (my favourite is the hamburger). It’s between Escher-Wyss Platz and Hardbrücke train station. Hotel Rothaus Imbiss: This is the deluxe version of a snack bar and one of the best venues of its kind that Zurich has to offer. The quality is great, the prices low and the menu rich and original. My favourite is the curry sausage with salad.
 
 
 
Web
 
  Valentine's special: I'm not a huge fan of organised romance but these two links present creative ways to spread your love. I'd say that the hug zone probably appeals mostly to women and singles and the LED-heart to guys. Make love not war!
 
 
 
Art
 
Hot Spots: The exhibition Hot Spots: Rio de Janeiro, Milano – Torino, Los Angeles presents these cites as places where artistic movements began and flourished. The art works by Dennis Hopper, Hélio Oiticica, Robert Irwin and many others were created between 1956 and 1969.
13 Feb - 3 May

Zurich Chicago-Blues-Band is looking for founder members : We are still looking for the missing founder members for our little, cozy and highly ambitious Chicago Bluesband. Do you wanna take part in founding a way cool, groovy and funky Chicago Bluesband? Are you tired of all those blues combos covering those SRV and Clapton songs pretending it#s the blues? Do you have some experience in playing the blues in a band and on stage? Then don#t hesitate and send us a message now! Our plan is to found a non professional band that will rehearse two to four times a month (in the Zurich City area) and play about 10 to 2 gigs per year in Switzerland and it's neighboring countries.The setlist should contain selected blues classics and maybe original songs that are played groovy and on a rather sophisticated level in an independent and self contained manner. The band should use small vintage style equipment and is planned not to need a truck to get everything to the gig. It should also be able to play even small venues without space and volume level problems.If this still sounds like fun to you, send us a message!
