2010-06-26 @ 23:26:54The new German prince of 'rock' goes solo in LA
Christian Linke, the new prince of German rock....now living, recording and playing in LA
Stadium rock is still very much alive and kicking in Europe and for the last few years former german rock monsters such as The Scorpions or Michael Schenker Group have had their very memory all but eclipsed by a new breed of rock monster to emmerge from the new Neumunster nursing ground of rock and metal. This new rock monster has been continuosly devouring the attentions of the mass festival and stadium crowds of every European mainland nation faster than Michael Schenker could rip up a lead break while crowds of well over a hundred thousand became regular sights wherever the hard rock, rap and screamo fusion of top German crossover band PANIK were played out. It seemed that for the last three years Panik were also very adept at causing severe panic among venue and booking office staff too and wherever they were booked to play Europe's ticket sellers shuddered in fear for their lives from the moment those ticket office doors opened and the stampedes began.
Between 2007 and 2009 the band from Neumunster signed to Universal, switched to Vertigo, had a quick name change from Nevada Tan and, after taking Hamburg by storm, they quickly conquered the continent in a germanic whirlwind of riotous sound. Now one of the key creative figures at the forefront of the Panik advance was the bands bass player and musical composer Christian Linke and just as Dallas Green of Canadian screamos 'Alexis On Fire' formed the pivotal harmonic vocals and melodic compositional edge to the raging fires of the Alexis On Fire screamo firestorm, so too did Linke form that same crucial harmonic anchor in the raging storms of Panik's fired up rap rants and super-screamo riots....it was an edge that clearly set both bands apart in their respective nations. As the supercell of the Panik storm split and began to fade in the final weeks of 2009 following dissagreements over their recording contract the band separated into smaller storm cells and went their seperate ways. While the rap vocalist Timo and Guitarist David Bonk are still drawing crowds under the Panik moniker, that creative musical hub that is Christian Linke has scince relocated with his vast musical talents and is about to give Los Angeles and the rest of America a taste of his own 'City and Colour' as his new works gear up to conquer the States following his debut US release.
With the sounds of Europe's stadiums and monster rock venues still ringing in his ears, Linke is going solo and acoustic right here in LA this Monday with his first live set coming on June 28th at The Mint on West Pico Boulevard at 7pm. Linke's debut ep is also now available from iTunes with all instruments being worked by his own hand to give the full band sound.So if you want to see a true prince and heir of Germany's amazing modern rock heritage then you better make your way down to the Mint pronto! ...and look out for the flyers his MySpace and Facebook pages for some special discounts on ticket prices too.In the video - Linke performing an acoustic version of his song Head Cinema

2010-06-08 @ 22:23:11Yu's blog.
2010-06-08 @ 20:40:00Its poison! Even though im a kinda jealous person when it comes to a relationship cause im trying to keep what i have, things are too precious to lose them, but in the music scene or in general. People go crazy about it, for no reason they get jealous and its insulting the whole thing. In so many ways the sense of being a musician gets lost, because of jealousy. I had a nice talk with Linke about that recently, musicians are mostly following all the same dream, share their music with the world, deliver their message, move something in people, maybe make a change and express our feelings, memories or thoughts. We should be all friends!
Of course people get envious if someone is getting more famous than someone else, but some people get the wrong sight, they head out for fame, money, get all the chiqs coming up...but thats not my world. Someone told me, if you date a musician you gotta expect hes taking groupies while being on tour and so on. But there are exceptions and im a good example. I never took advantage of groupies or anyone, most of my time being in Cinema Bizarre i were in a relationship and i never cheated on anyone. Im in good handle of myself to not just jump on the next girl once i feel like and my girl isnt around just because im a known musician and its easy go, thats not right...
Its fine if some people go for such stuff, everyone has their own head, but if thats the only reason they wanna get into music, to be famous and be printed everywhere, shown in tv and getting money and the girls...then they suck!
Were talking about art, the art to express yourself when it comes to music, thats what it is about!
It just turns me very sad how the world is turning about that.
Aneways, i keep my wings spread!"
