Patareiv - Prison rave.

"I saw your live 3 years ago. Me and a couple people enjoyed it, but I'm not so sure about the others."

Hey you!

Patareiv was one of the funnest parties in a while. Mixing good music, friends and tasty drinks produced special moments. 

Happy for her new "Blo me" shirt.

The party started at  6 but most of the people didn't show up before midnight. I was playing to a crowd by then. Four stages altogether and our stage was built on an ancient soviet truck. It was very suitable for heavy machinery bass. There were also stages for techno, house and psy trance/dubstep.

My set was heavy. I didn't play any old harder and faster tracks except for "Windshield pfeiffer" as the encore (even despite that one girl on the right shouting she didn't want to hear another one). I sang on the "Pick up track" and "Urge to follow". The rock soundguy provided me tips for the vocals. Some true fans were really rocking it to "I dig dirt" and other wild bass ones. There was also a guy shouting for something mellow and my dear kid sister. I changed from my Punisher shirt to my "Blo Me" shirt during playing. A girl dancing in the front row threw me candy, a carambar with a weird joke. I threw my shirt to her, as the crowd was shouting: "Give it to her! Give it to her!". Congrats to all the proud owners of a "Blo me" shirt. The shirts have now been sold out.

Thanks to everyone for listening and dancing. I hope to meet you again soon and in the meanwhile we'll stay in touch on facebook and of course here on Fluon. Remember to download my tracks from the player up there on the right.>>

I loved the set by Anthelia. It was heavy and gabberish, but with housish chords like "Benny Rodrigues - Rotterdam". I also liked Rhythm Doctor, Talvik and Marek Poel. I send my regards to Redlip (Fluon crew) whose Traktor controller didn't work anymore when it was time to play. I hope it will resurrect. She was recording my live show so you might see my show even if you missed it at Patareiv.

Lone techno dancer in the beginning of the night.

We kept dancing until the dawn and were blessed with a fresh dance move - "shark jaws". I'm sure you can imagine how to move your hands to imitate a shark. It goes into the vault with such classic moves like Chernobyl child plays ping pong and "lost in the woods (bewildered eyes)".

Extreme prison planking.

The night ended with rescuing a stray guy from on top of a big pipe. At first it looked like extreme planking, but then he explained that he had wanted to stage a prison break. He got tangled in barbed wire and couldn't get down anymore. With our guidance, he climbed down in no time and left for home.The photo was awesome, but the guy contacted me and asked me to remove it. Now it's up to you to fill the gap with your granny or whoever you would like to see planking there.

Sunshine underground.

We continued partying until 10 in the morning. We escorted Alver to get his photos developed and had a breakfast in old town. Then I went to get my well deserved two hour power nap. I hope your weekend was something as good (at Flow festival for example).
See you soon!

You don't have to fight, to party right.

"Fighting, girls in lingerie costumes and stripping nude."

Hey you,
What a bloody night! But first I am glad to announce that Barthol Lo Mejor shirts have been printed and some of you are already wearing them (although some prefer to be nude). They're hand printed in NELK and are 10€ , if you want one then email me at bartholmusic(a)gmail(dot)com. There are 20 of them and they are numbered. If you are the 3rd one to buy a shirt then it will say 3/20 on yours and so on.

Me and Redlip were playing back to back in sadamateater this friday as Fluon. It was a costume party and there were some sexy costumes and some cool ones. Bad girls in maid, fairy and bunny outfits and a guy dressed as a nun.
The trouble with sadamateater is that the backstage is so cozy that you can just spend the whole party there talking to the other artists. DJs didn't have a backstage but I went up with my main man whose band was playing that night as well. We were the last ones to play and we got to play twice as long because the next Dj brought mp3 cds instead of regular ones. We were using the Traktor S4. One geek was just standing at first, but then he got into the music. He jumped around and started stripping until he was nude. The nude guy was running around and bouncing his balls. The security insisted he would stop stripping and get dressed again. He managed to keep his clothes on for a little while.

Last time boys stripped to my music was in 2008

After playing we decided to go to Nott. The guys took the vodka they had hidden in the snow before. We headed out to continue the night out on the town. On the way we drank the ice cold vodka. I mixed the coke we had left over into the beers of the friends we met on the way.
In Nott everything was super, the vodka was doing it's thing. The night was pure fun and everyone was enjoying it. I saw old friends and we had fun. But then the dwarf-like emo kid I was talking to went insane. In the middle of our conversation the insane dwarf decided to punch my glass while I was drinking from it. What a bloody mess. Four guys grabbed him and threw his sorry ass out, before I could fight back. You can't see it on Tv, but his mental health just isn't there, mostly because of being so small. It's no surprise that he is known for hitting girls and making bad music. The injuries are not serious just not pretty to look at. I would be in a worse condition if I'd have had to listen to him sing.

The night out in Paris, heading somewhere with the guys, not related to the story.

That was my wild knock out week end. It was actually more fun than bleeding. Me and Redlip will probably play again soon. I hope you did less fighting. Do you like the costume parties, how did you spend the weekend? Share it in comments.

See you soon,
Barthol

Dancing in the Dark

I spent this weekend in Viljandi. I was there working on a dance project for this spring. I have a feeling that it's going to be good. I rather like experimenting with my body and movement. Maybe more on the dance act as it develops.
After that we used some of the equipment to shoot some sequences that could be used in a possible future video.

The other reason was to establish contacts with a local club to see if it was possible to play there.

In other news there are two new videos of my Lives. Rather short ones but nonetheless here they are. My next live will be this Saturday in Genklubi and I will probably have a surprise dancer on the stage. But it's a secret ;) Also I finished the design for my shirt, with some help from a couple of designers. If everything goes well, I will wear it this Saturday and soon fans can get it as well. Yes, both of them ;)
I promise it's awesome!


The first one is the NWL

The other one is from the airport bday party.
