Mamoré

In the organizer's words:

Somewhere between Planet Punk, Milky Way Retro-Pop, Microcosm New Wave and Hinterwelt Thüringen is the universe of MAMORÉ. It sends out shrill signals and is illuminated day and night by a pink sun. MAMORÉ is a place where everything is allowed: rough pogoing, romantic couple dancing and Bowie-esque hip swinging are practiced simultaneously to solemn synth melodies and rugged rock guitars. Drama and comfort, anachronism and innovation, heartache and a twinkle in the eye aggregate here to form a flowery tangle of emotions. At the center of the action: five young men dressed in extravagant outfits from the vintage wardrobe, who sometimes can't quite grasp what is happening around them.
Paul, Eric, Mike, Alex and Jona come from Thuringia - and thus from a region where the music scene is manageable and the subculture is small. Because all the members of the MAMORÉ conglomerate have been active in punk, stoner and hardcore contexts for years, they didn't just meet yesterday. However, the day the five-piece first met in the rehearsal room and merged into an NNDW 70's rock street-smart band was just a full calendar year ago. In the beginning, MAMORÉ was merely the spawn of a whim: Paul played around on the drum machine and built a few 80's reminiscent electropop loops. When he shows Eric his sketches, the latter decides without further ado to complement the beats with self-written German lyrics. Eric's reverberating, staccato vocal style, infused with operatic overemphasis and rolling R's, becomes the defining element of the MAMORÉ sound.
