Ziguri

Ziguri initially rehearsed in SO36, the legendary punk club in Berlin-Kreuzberg (subsequently finding themselves entangled in the street battles on Oranien Street which were a regular occurrence at the time). Their first gigs took place in squats, at street parties or in underground clubs, before graduating to venues like Tacheles, der Eimer and Schokoladen. Ziguri continued playing in this format until 1997, after which only the theatre project remained, lasting until 2002.Each of the three band members went his own way in the years that followed, signing up to new bands sooner or later. Kolsch played with Schickert in Ponyhof and with Erdenreich in the punk combo Hagel. Both used the same rehearsal space, so the trio often found themselves gathered socially in the original line-up, as it were. One evening, those famous words were spoken: "Let's put the band together again."That was in 2011. And from the first moment, it was like they had never been apart. Picking up exactly where they had left off, Kolsch and Erdenreich hammered out a driving rhythm and Schickert layered his unique echo patterns over the top. They road-tested their live set in two concerts with Damo Suzuki (Can). As Ziguri played further shows, it dawned on them that younger listeners had bolstered their audience, strengthening the band's resolve to revive the act as a going concern.Ziguri enlisted Dirk Dresselhaus as producer, better known as the artist Schneider TM. The album was recorded in his Zone studio in just three days and was released by Bureau B in 2014.Now they are back with the new album entitled "OneTwoThreeFour". Maybe it stands for the signal for the start of a live recording because this second album was also recorded live in a few days. Phantastic grooving trance rock with a dash of Krautrock and modern minimalism - it's tribal! There are some older recordings added as bonus tracks, showing very good where it all came from.
