Electromantic Night - "Schwarze Romantik"
Bands: Planning to Rock (dj set) & Nova Heart (Live)
Date: Friday 2nd November
Location: The Städel Museum , Frankfurt
The Städel museum is one of my favourite buildings in Frankfurt, always housing innovative artist and cultural works. Imagine my excitment at the combination of both Art and Electro music...
Tonights event: Electromantic Nacht mit Nova Heart
is almost to exciting to bare!
Dubbed as the "Queen of Beijing Rock" or "Blondie of China" Helen, born in Beijng and raised in the US and Canada, has been a staple in the Chinese music scene since she moved back from Los Angeles to Beijing in 2002. Hired as VJ for MTV China. In 2004 she founded Ziyo one of Chinas longest running and most popular indie bands (later becoming Free the Birds in 2010 after changing musical directions). In 2007 she co-found the seminal Chinese electronic group Pet Conspiracy. Within the next three years she sang the theme song for Hollywood blockbuster The Mummy III, won several of the most prestigious Chinese Music Awards (Midi & Chinese Music Awards), hosted the Vice Creators Project, co-found FakeMusicMedia and toured Europe three times -- a fact that until this day very few chinese bands have achieved.
Upon culmination of her final whirlwind European tour as front-woman of Pet Conspiracy 宠物同谋 in fall 2010, Helen quit the band and, took a few days off in Istanbul to prepare the next steps for Free the Birds自游.
But the powers of the city had different plans...One fateful night, a chance encounter with Roman electronic-cowboy Rodion (Gomma Records) gave birth to NOVA HEART.

A sinister disco beat, buried under haunting soundscapes make it sound as if naked ghosts were dancing under a mirrorball.
And oh yes, this is exactly where I will be rocking my favourite black vintage lace frock and strutting my stuff. (Plus admiring the artwork obvs).
Come join in the fun...
Tonight from 8pm -tickets available on the door.
