18.11.2009 The Wooden Veil performance at the old Kindl Brewery last weekend in Berlin was a blast! I'm sure videos and photos will appear somewhere soon. It's difficult to describe the experience and words will do no justice. Anyways, a new video for "Red Sky" from the forthcoming Dekorder album is now online:
23.10.2009 Friday November 13, 2009 A.D. 9PM
WOODEN VEIL: Album Unveiling Ceremony.
Alte Kindl Brauerei Neukölln. Werbellinstrasse 50, Berlin.
Special Guests include Rashad Becker, Kakawaka and Schneider TM.
In celebration of the release of their first album on Dekorder, they will be conducting an evening of spacial baptism upon ancient cisterns of mead… the rebirth of the red sky in the Temple of Wooden Veil.
Shrines to the future, ceremonial dress, ritual madness. Wooden Veil performances and installations in the insane future-past of the alte Kindl Brauerei. Come.

19.12.2008 "Most beautiful record this time is probably the Hasenlove picture disk by Hamburg's Antonia Leukers (Dekorder). Primarily a visual artist, she was emboldened to stretch her brain into musical realms by a theoretical encounter with Die Todliche Doris. Her music is informed by that, but is a unique collage of sap-pop and bizarre inventions. Quite remarkable and a lovely piece of rabbity love by any stretch."
Thurston Moore & Byron Coley, "Bull Tongue", Arthur Magazine # 32 www.arthurmag.com
05.11.2008 Kuupuu on Aljazeera (starts at around 4:50)!!!
01.05.2008 There's a nice 10-page interview/overview on Dekorder's visual aspects in Adrian Shaughnessy's "Cover Art By: New Music Graphics" book (with my artwork for Un Caddie Renversé Dans L'Herbe on the cover). The book is published by Laurence King Publishing in the UK and it is now available in our online shop.
