Graphic novel presentation: Subz-funny place Israel

Dear folks,

just would like to recommend you the presentaton of the graphic novel "Subz..." of israeli comic artist Gabriel S. Moses.
Funny place Israel - of course we know the boring life of teenagers and young people in american and european sububrs. Growing up somewhere in middle-class-boredom far away from the big cities. Ttotally safe in a material way, but still filled up with teenage angst, enegry and the will to break out of a predictable way of life. Not really conscious about your future. And the only way to escape and to express your uncomfortable feelings is to make parties with your friends, take drugs, form a band, scream all the shit out till every curious neighbour knows you and your strange friends. It seems to be the same everywhere. Does not matter if you are in in the middle of the US or in a small town in North-rhine westfalia, black forest or Thuringia - but Israel?

Even in one of the hot spots of the world you have the problems of middleclass kids in a similar way. Kids in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, not far away from the frontier to palestine, but still safe in a pretty unreal world - and no way to escape.
That's the setting of the graphic novel "Subz-...funny place Israel", which is the second release of Gabriel S. Moses at Archiv der Jugendkulturen. Similar to hhis first book "Spunk", this one got lots of autobiographic references to Gabriels Youth in the small town near to Tel Aviv.

So, you want to know more about growing up in Israel?
Then you better not miss the presentation of Subz with a movie and discussion with the author next friday.

Vienna in Berlin

Hey Folks,

wanna hear the latest news?
Next week a bunch of good-looking and very creative Viennese will come to Berlin. From Vienna to Berlin. No, shit, it's really true. Austrians that come from Vienna to Berlin, we hadn#t had this for a while, har. Yes yes, it is really crazy, Austrians coming to Berlin, the whole world must have become mad...
But these cute and polite Folks from Austria are not a bunch of tourists, which are a bit late for Bread & Butter-Fashion-show.
What I want to say with this cryptic introduction is, that ZIVATA UTCA (which means "road of thunder storm" and sounds in my furry ears a bit like a good name for an 80ies-hairspray metalband) will play on July, 17th at Sputnik-Cinema in Kreuzberg - AND ...
of course they are not doing any embarassing Metal-stuff, but perform a great Mix of Balkan beats, Hip Hop, Dub, Folk in a really interesting Line-up with accordion, transverse flute, standup bass, drums and lyrics in english, german and croatian.
If you appreciate an evening of good, cheerful multicult music, you must not miss this!
