space kelly = one of the coolest german indie pop-ers there ever was.

[i]Space Kelly

We often look towards Nippon and the Far East with a
mixture of interest, fascination and astonishment.
We wonder about the cultural phenomenons and musical
surprises Japan is offering us. Discovering that this guy
from Berlin takes the youth of Tokyo by storm, has got a
following of hysterical fans behind him and is selling
loads of copies of his German language Japanese debut
album made us curious. When we discovered that
Konishi from Pizzicato Five is among the fans of this
charming P!O!P!-singer as well we knew: We have
to listen! Because it's well known that on the streets of
Shibuya people are aware of what is hip![/i] (oh dear this paragraph XD)

[i]It's Space Kelly who we are talking about, who now releases
"Erster Alles", his second album following the debut "Das
Leben ist kein Heimspiel" from five years ago! But Space
Kelly used his time well offering fresh singles with in a
relaxed summer vibe like "Die schönsten Mädchen gibt es
in Amsterdam" or "September Mädchen". He also intro-
duced the now legendary Space-Kelly-club-nights, where
the core of international guitar-P!O!P! (Duglas Stewart
from the scottish C86-heroes BMX Bandits as well as German
hot-on-the-scene geezers Knarf Rellöm, Andreas Dorau
and Camping among others) said "hello". "Erster Alles" in-
cludes all singles which were met with euphoric reviews
in the media and gained airplay (e.g. VIVA, VIVA2, MTV,
ORB Fritz and more). "Erster Alles" is an impressive,
breezy P!O!P!-album with songs that have the invitation to
join in written all over them. And don't miss the lyrics for
some serious tongue-in-cheek experiences! Pattino (Lemon-
babies) followed this invitation as a producer on three
tracks, Suzie Kerstgens of German melodic-popsters Ralley
accompanied Space Kelly on the vocals for the bitter-
sweet duet "Sozusagen Schluss gemacht".

Don't miss the opportunity to join in yourself when Space Kelly
embarks on a nationwide European tour in late summer.[/i]
