So here we are back from a couple of nice projects.
First of all I was invited to take part of the Freiraum project, which took place in Thessaloniki. Manoj from Masala Movement invited me to join the team!
We stayed one week in Thessaloniki and painted the Facade of the Goethe Institut.
Molotow supported us with a very nice deal for the spraypaint. Thanks!
Thanks to the rest of the team, I had a really nice time with you guys:
Malik Heilmann, Saskia, Jens, Daniel Gehrlich & Manoj!
We’ll come up with a some video footage in the next couple of weeks…
After the amazing trip to Greece, I had a short week back in Berlin and went to France the following Saturday. I’ll come up with more ’bout the trip to France asap. “Julio at Artschoollvets”
On the occasion of the international financial crisis the two guys from Modeselektor, Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, decided to found their own label, Monkeytown Records, to create a platform for befriended artists.

Primarily, Siriusmo aka Moritz Friedrich is a real survivalist, played in a band for many years and is a fan of old keyboards. As a professional artist (painting, illustration, graffiti) Siriusmo lives off temporary jobs and even does construction work now and then. Just on extremely rare occastions can Moritz be seen on stage (children’s birthday parties or other family get-togethers) - and even then his mood is rather shitty due to his bad taking of criticism.
His self therapeutical way of life shows a new side with “the uninvited guest”. Sometimes bold, sometimes heartsick, melodies that creep under your skin, serious drama, touching melancholy that collapses into absurdism and which makes fun of itself. Technical devices and a lot of phantasy artistically cover up lacking musical abilities. Moritz Friedrich already had quite a lot releases on respective labels. His one and only comment on those releases: ” On each record there is one song that I still like, the rest - unfortunately - is shit.”
Well, this is it for now. Or maybe there is still to mention that there will be two EPs by Siriusmo with a following (debut) album at the end of 2009, all on Monkeytown Records.
Okay then - have fun! (Monkeytown Records MySpace)
