Mother’s Cake – Ultrabliss
Nach der just erfolgten Veröffentlichung der ersten Vorab-Single, ‚One Of These Days‘, erscheint am 18.10.2024 via Embassy of Music das neue und fünfte Studioalbum von Mother’s Cake, das auf den Namen Ultrabliss hört.
Inspiriert von Stanley Kubricks Kultfilm, A Clockwork Orange (1971), und von songstrukturellen Zwängen weitgehend befreit, lässt die österreichische Band ihrer musikalischen Fantasie mit fei(n)sten Jams und Tanzflächenfegern freien Lauf. So vereint Ultrabliss auf neun extrem abwechslungsreichen Nummern Elemente aus Classic-, Kraut- und Prog-Rock der Fans von Jimi Hendrix und Pink Floyd genauso erfreuen dürfte, wie Anhänger der Red Hot Chili Peppers oder von britischen Indie-Ikonen wie Franz Ferdinand, den Arctic Monkeys oder Kasabian. Wie schon das Vorgängeralbum Cyberfunk! ist auch Ultrabliss im Sevenarts Studio, Überlärm Studio und Moonwalker Productions Studio entstanden und wurde erneut von Sänger, Gitarrist und Songschreiber Yves Krismer in Zusammenarbeit mit Manuel Renner und Raphael Neikes klanglich in Szene gesetzt. Dabei ist Neikes, der live Gitarre und die Keys bedient, zum vierten Bandmitglied avanciert. Gründungsschlagzeuger Jan Haußels indes hat nach Beendigung der Albumsessions die Band im Guten verlassen und wird ab sofort von Alex Kerbl an den Drums abgelöst.
The Tazers:
Hailed as the wizards of South African psych-rock, The Tazers have their roots stuck in the '70s while incorporating modern sounds and structures. This trio pack a high-energy performance that captivates their audience with fuzz tones, vocal harmonies and powerful drum rolls. The Tazers know how to entertain.
The current trio consists of Jethro Lock (guitar, vocals), Timothy Edwards (drums, vocals) and Werner Jordaan (bass, vocals).
The Tazers have been extremely active since their inception in 2015. They’ve released 5 EP’s and 2 full length albums, which has led them to become one of South Africa's leading psych-rock bands. They’ve played all the biggest music festivals and venues South Africa has to offer, and they always leave the crowd wanting more.
The band have also toured Europe 4 times, which saw them performing extensively in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Italy to high acclaim. One of the most notable shows was performing on the legendary TV broadcast ‘Rockpalast’ during their appearance at Crossroads Festival in Harmonie, Bonn. The full performance was broadcasted on German national television & can be found on Rockpalast’s Youtube.
The Tazers were nominated for ‘Best Rock Album’ at the 2020 South African Music Awards (SAMAs) and received multiple film accolades & nominations for their music video ‘Plastic Kids’.
Recently, they have been growing their fan base around the world - reaching a huge milestone of 50 000 monthly listeners on Spotify when they released their new album “Fantasy Factory”. Alongside this, one of their hit songs ‘Wake Up’ has hit over 2 million streams on the platform. Their latest single also titled “Fantasy Factory” made it onto the Spotify Editorial playlist “ALL NEW ROCK”.
The ‘Outer Space’ single has also had airplay all over the world, most notably from major public radio stations FM4 in Austria and Radio Fritz in Germany.
‘Ready To Die’ was also featured on MTV Germany.
Although this three-piece fuzz band has accomplished a lot over the years, the truth is…
The Tazers have only just begun.
