Music Mondays Presents We Were Never Here
Tonight, Alamo Music Mondays presents the US Premiere of We Were Never Here, a film about the German avant-rock band Mutter.
Though the band has been around since the 80s, we have to admit that we don't know much about them—and though the Google-translated version of their Wikipedia page is hilarious, it isn't entirely informative. (Representative sentence: "Then with in the same year the published album main thing music disappointed the most incalculable all Diskurspop volume all those, which saw a kind left Rammstein in it, the album consisted nearly completely of folkigen Balladen, halfacoustically and technically experienced brought in". Got that?)
What we can tell you is that band members Max Muller and Florian Koerner Von Gustorf worked with controversial German director Jorg Buttgereit on his 1993 film Schramm—and that's probably a pretty good indicator of the band's righteousness.
In case you missed last week's packed-to-the-rafters Music Monday, we should also let you know that Music Mondays screenings will now regularly feature local bands and DJs performing before the film. At tonight's screening, local rockers Diagonals will be performing, and according to band member Wiley Wiggins' blog, this may be one of the band's last local shows for a while, so get there early to catch them.
