… it sure looks like we’re taking a little break. We actually are. But only in the sense of live gigs. We’ve recorded some stuff in our rehearsal room, and got really a high-quality recording from the gig at the HFG (thanks again to the organisers!) which we’re working on right now, plus, we got together with Wolf from World In Sound and it looks like we could be turning out our second album in late autumn. That would be coupled with extensive touring, we already have gigs sort of lined up in and around Berlin, and we might also be supporting Wicked City from Australia for part of their tour. Here’s some snippets of what we’ve been up to:

Oh, and by the way, try not to miss Karma To Burn (and us) this weekend in Heidelberg!
After having played at many of the national scene clubs and extended our sound cross-border to share the stage with bands like Brant Bjork, Samsara Blues Experiment und Monkey 3, we already have another highlight lined up:
Hosts and local colour Buddha Sentenza will roll out the fluffy dark red carpet to welcome KARMA TO BURN with a powerful mix of spaced out vibes, hard-driven riffs and stoned-out sounds:
The three guys from West Virgina will be on tour with their new album, aptly titled “V” and supposedly a real banger. Thanks to the Kosmodrom anyone can come and convinve themselves!

Title: HfG Integrale Location: HfG Karlsruhe Link out: Click here Description: II. Karlsruher Integrale zwischen Hammer und Amboss in den ehemaligen Hallen der Munitionsfabrik/HfG
Am 7. Mai liegt die II. Karlsruher Integrale zwischen Hammer und Amboss in den Werkstatthallen der ehemaligen Munitionsfabrik. Die Werkstätten von damals sind heute akademische Räume für freie Künstler. An der Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe ist das Thema des diesjährigen Integrale-Musikfestivals BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. Die Inszenierung bricht mit der traditionellen, festen Form eines Rockkonzerts durch künstlerische Offenlegung des harten Kerns dieser Musikgattung.
Auf beweglichen Bühnen spielen sechs regionale Bands konstant harte Klänge: Horse?, Watered, All Joines, Stereo Drama, Johnboy und Buddha Sentenza. Ein langer Riegel aus fünf Bühnen bricht immer wieder auf, und Podeste samt PA und Protagonisten verschwinden klangvoll hinter einer Wand aus Licht, die nichts beleuchtet außer sich selbst.
Große Scheinwerfer durchkreuzen den Raum, deren Lichtgeschwindigkeit im Nebel zu einer undurchdringlichen Masse erstarrt. Diese zerbricht an überdimensionierten Stahlbauplatten und vereinzelt sich in schmale Fäden, die den Raum durchweben. Zwischen den Wänden aus Licht und massivem Material rollt eine mannshohe Soundkugel. Stahl wird zur metallischen Membran für eine Klanginstallation. Die Metallröhre wird zur Rockröhre und die Schritte des Publikums zum taktgebendem Hammerschlag.
