Happy Birthday, London Calling!


30 years ago on this day the third album by The Clash, London Calling, was released. It is still considered to be one of the best albums ever recorded and features an astonishing amount of marvelous tracks. One of our favorites is Guns of Brixton which in the above recording has a nice dubbed out feeling to it due to the bad quality of the recording equipment.

We're on a schedule...

The lovely people at Thursdays don't suit very well will have us tonight in the course of their "Festival of Contemporary Blah". 21:00, Nadlerstraße 14, Studgart.

that a huge act doesn't necessarily make the night a huge one.
But this guy certainly helps:

Eastern dances

Die Wende war eines der ersten Projekte von La Conca. Unser Bestreben war es, die florierende Discoszene im Osten, wie sie der oben verlinkte Beitrag zeigt, mit der westdeutschen zu vereinen.

This weekend Stuttgart went spaceways

At least in heaven we can dance



The representatives of the La Conca Space Colony, Cpt. Béla Fonte and Lt. Tough Terry, provide their first two-part report on the colony's research in the fields of passion, desire and prolonged rapture.

And here are some older DJ-Sets: 1, 2 & 3.

Erobique, live in concert

1,5 Weeks ago the representatives of the La Conca Space Colony joined forces with their close friends of TDSVW and enjoyed the great Music of Erobique. In the transmission above we try to recreate a little bit of the awesomeness of the show.

Saturday, November 7, 2009

Put that back in!

A few weeks ago some Japanese dudes visited the Colony and bought all our old control-panels. Today we know what they did it for: They built business-card cases out of them, which you can purchase here for roughly 30€.

Finding true love ain't that tough

Well, at least for heterosexual technocrats.

Mysterious Order

A few weeks ago the beneficial spirit of our humble space colony reached out to Japan. It seems as if the people still living on earth slowly change.

Happy Birthday Mix-Up!

30 years ago on this day the debut album of Cabaret Voltaire, Mix-Up, was released. It features one of the colony’s most beloved Cabs tracks, the dark love song No Escape. The original version of No Escape was recorded by the psychedelic garage rock band The Seeds for their self titled debut album. Happy Birthday!

Zero gravity = zero accident

Man mag vermuten, dass die La Conca Weltraumkolonie vornehmlich zur Erforschung alternativer Lebensmodelle gegründet worden ist. Dies ist allerdings ein Trugschluss, denn tatsächlich bevorzugen wir das Leben in der Schwerelosigkeit hauptsächlich weil uns weniger Sachen auf den Kopf fallen können.

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Do you believe in time travel?

You might have asked yourself what the La Conca representatives are doing besides criticizing Stuttgarts belated efforts in space advocacy. Well, we’re making some time travels to the late 1970s and early 1980s to savour some exceptionally great music. In order to blend in with the crowd each of us bought himself one of those bags above. Come and join us!

I think I got to sneeze

Well, well. All that improved thermal insulation and warm atmosphere in the colony does not prevent its representatives from catching a severe cold. But we're a competent team that can keep the quality of its work high, no matter how many of us are sick. Anything else would be unprofessional!

Cybernetic Discotheque!

The Association wholeheartedly reccomends the following gathering of musicloving citizens of Stuttgart:
16.10.2009
MB presents CYBERNETIC DISCOTHEQUE II
Intergalactic Gary (Viewlexx / CBS / IFM, Den Haag/NL)
Traxx (Nation / Crème Organization, Chicago/USA)
Mick Wills (Gigolo / MinimalRome / Automatic-Datamatik, Stuttgart/D)
www.climax-institutes.de

"...Stuttgart darf also gespannt sein auf eine wahrscheinlich noch nie dagewesene Mischung aus aktuellen Sounds, Chicago, Detroit, Italo Disco, Hi-NRG, Cosmic, Minimal Synth, EBM, Industrial, Acid und Electro."

Monday, September 28, 2009

I want a restorative beer...

Our short excursion to witness a weekend of parties and elections has ended. Now we take our time to improve the thermal insulation of the colony.

A glittering beam splitting the clouds

Living in space is a lot of fun, especially because of the great music everywhere in the colony. But as you can see in the transmission above we also have to struggle. But we struggle in style.

Kindertage

Childhood days... the boy is now the biggest Nana Mouskouri impersonator at La Conca as you may have guessed because of his doll. The girl used to bully him and is actually quite nasty.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

To Arrr or not to Arrr?

The question the Association is asking itself for some days now is weather Vincent would have become a Pirate after removing that body-part, or if he would have stayed an artist.

Nights Over Egypt

By the way, one of Stuttgart's more interesting twin towns is Cairo...

That's how we roll


Three day weekends, that's what it's all about.
Diese Woche startet das Wochenende im Rocker33 - Thursday don't suit very well, 24.09. ab 22:00.

It can only be attributable to human error

We had one of these humble robots that clean the floor at the colony. But after he killed some of the crew-members we decided to throw him out. If you are OK with the killing, get one of these here.

Underground art

Noch etwas unbeholfen in der Ausführung, aber die weißen Flächen sind konzeptionell ein beindruckendes Statement für Minimalismus.

We made it!

















Space is an often overused metaphor. But this is not a spoof. Get some facts - we made it. We are the La Conca Space Colony, the first self-sustaining space colony of this placid city. Discolate yourself into this orbit, Stuttgart!
