Kreidler: Electronic Music From Germany

German band Kreidler has David Bowie, Pavement and Stereolab among its
fans. Heck, the band has also managed to get critical acclaim from The
New York Times for two of its releases, Appearance and The Park . Both
were the paper's record of the week. The experimental electronic group,
apparently masters at creating compelling sonic tapestry, will be
performing at Universiti Malaya (UM).

One question obviously arises – what is the band doing playing at UM?
This institution of higher learning isn't exactly the first place you
think of when it comes to cutting-edge music that "cool" people are
into. Well, you can thank the good folks at the local chapter of
Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes, the German cultural centre. Kreidler's
concert comes courtesy of the institute's ongoing initiative to share
snippets of German living with us.

The group is made up of Andreas Rheise and Detlev Weinrich on keyboard,
and Thomas Klein on drums. The band's sound has been described as the
sort of music that would appeal to fans of Tortoise, Kraftwerk and
Trans Am. To most of us, that would mean melodic and weird laid-back
tunes. Kreidler is signed to Mute Records, the same label that houses
legendary synth-pop pioneers Depeche Mode.

Come and check out the group as it shares its eclectic take on
electronic music. If the band doesn't turn out to be a weird enough
experience, maybe checking out what happens when such an esoteric show
appears at Universiti Malaya is.
