A Perfect Moment with Lindsay Ferguson

Lindsay Ferguson came through Zürich and after her show at the best cafe in Zürich we filmed two videos for the Presented by Cafe Henrici video series. The way the people in the street reacted to her and what happens at the beginning of part II made for a perfect, real life moment for me. Enjoy!

Here's a Holiday gift for everyone. I have been compiling a great compilation of live music without even realizing it. Over the past year or so, I have made many live performance videos here in Switzerland with musicians from all over the world. The other day the thought occurred to me to compile them into an mp3 compilation. So, for your free downloading pleasure, I present The Automatic Mixtape

2. Professional Lovers by Rita Hey (video link)
3. Non-Toxic by Telekinesis (video link)
4. Summer Light by Lambs & Wolves (video link)
5. Unveiling by Molly Rose (video link)
6. Red Pony by A Jigsaw (video link)
7. Eve by Lia Sells Fish (video link)
8. Progression by Chloes Charles (video link)
9. Futile Crush by Ad Hoc (video link)
10. Illusionist Boy by Jane Lui (video link)

Special thanks to Cafe Henrici, all but one of the tracks on The Automatic Mixtape came from the Presented by Cafe Henrici video series. Other people who helped during these recordings and deserve a "Thank You": Tito Huber, Howard Linton, Tobias Straka, Pascal Grob, Rok Roskar, George Huber and Karla Arias. I will definitely be making more videos in 2011. In the meantime, enjoy the free download!

Les Shelleys, Part 1 - "I'm On Fire"

Les Shelleys is the American duo consisting of Tom Brosseau and Angela Correa. They came through Zürich in November to play a show at Helsinki Klub and afterward, in the "green room" (actually a small trailer), they played a few charming covers songs. I captured these songs on video and here is the first, a delightful cover of I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen:
 
Les Shelleys have an self-titled album which is available on iTunes or from Fat Cat Records

Molly Rose in Zürich

Molly Rose is a musician from Seattle who recently moved to Zürich. After her first ever Swiss performance at Cafe Henrici, we headed out into the cold night and shot two videos for the Presented by Cafe Henrici series.

Special thanks to Rok for being an impromptu sound man.
