April 2003

• OK, folks! Here we are! The third Logan Tapes Popfest is going to happen: This time we managed to play at the KANTINE, Augsburg's favorite club and the date is April 9th 2003, 9pm. It would be so cool to see you, and our friends, and your moms and dads there. We'll have tons of fun with
  • the yummy and delicious Logan Bros.,
  • Scheuerpop by Thorsten Propeller & the Umlaut, and
  • Super Zero, who are not on Logan Tapes and gorgeous though.
  Indiepop rules!

October 2001

• Thorsten Propeller plays L I V E ! Again! So don't miss it. Date: Wed. Oct 17, 2001 at the Green Door No. 8, Tramore, IRELAND, by the sea and by the fireplace. (Hi Sophie... Thorsten is a great guy. You can trust us...)
• And we have a new release:
  

  "The Magic City" (LT25) by Castle Music is probably not what you would expect on Logan Tapes but highly recommended by your favorite indierock superstars.

September 2001

• Gerald of Gebrauchte Music was so kind to do an interview with the Logan Boys. So if you are interested in anything between land speed racing (no Hüsker Dü reference!) and indie pop, check it out here. You will find it in the magazine.

August 2001

• YEAH! Thorsten P. put out his fantastic galactic Donna R. single (LT24). It's cool as ever and features 8 Scheuerpop tracks including one Unitary and one Logan Bros. remix of the title track.
• NEWS: Thorsten Propeller plays 08-03-2001 at the Aenima Bar/Munich, Paul-Heyse-Str. 31. You definitely should not miss it!

  

July 2001

• It's over... and Thorsten is not on the sampler. And there is no need to buy it. Absolutely no need. Definitely! So save your money for Zombies of the Stratosphere...

June 2001

• Our Intergalactic Hero Thorsten Propeller Superstar made it: One of his great songs could be on the next Unter unserem Himmel (Below the Blue Blue Sky, sort of) sampler of our favorite radio show Zündfunk. So we tell you one thing: Vote! VOTE! NOW!

May 2001

• Are you still awake? We are and here is our first major homepage update. Nothing really spectacular changed, but we included some MP3s of Goldfisch, Thorsten Propeller and the Logan Boys and everything got somehow more individual and up-to-date.
• A new release is planned and we think it is the best to keep you curious. It won't be the usual LT cuddlecore.

March 2001

• This whole thing reminds you of some lullaby? Well, you'll see...

January 2001

• Barbara Manning and the Go-Luckys! asked the Logan Bros. to play a show and of course they couldn't say no.

  

November 2000

• We finally have some good news. Probably the Logan Bros. are going to play live again. Where? Well, at the Kerosin in Augsburg (we know, we know...). When? January 11th, it is a Thursday, 9pm. And we have not told you the best yet! Guess who they will support?
  O.K., here is the truth: The Logan Bros. support Barbara Manning & the Go-Luckys! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! More news about this event will follow! This is a promise. Anyway, please ask all your friends to come. Not because of the Logans!
• Until the end of the year this meanwhile pretty ancient homepage will have a new fancy design! We hope so at least.

October 2000

• Toy Pop Dragsters is finally available in the old world.

September 2000

• Did you see the Logan Bros. in California? No? They did not see you either.
• The new Logan Bros. album Toy Pop Dragsters came out, but only in the US, which means that the logan guys gave the record to some close friends. The best distro we have over there so far.

August 2000

• Thorsten Propeller has released his album No Name Scheuermilch. This seems to be the birth of "Scheuerpop", how he calls his stuff now. And he played live at a local youth club to support the record. It's much too late to tell you the details. Sorry...

January 2000

• Our super small "tour" is over. The Popfest 1999 at the Blauer Salon has been OK. Surely the crowd liked Thorsten Propeller a lot. We have video-taped the show. 20 minutes of odd material will be available soon. The Logan Brothers show at Landsberg turned out pretty good. After some problems for them to get there it finally became very funny.
• Check out Barbara & The Go-Luckys! in Stuttgart, Jan 15, 13:00, Second Hand Records, Holzstraße 21. See you there!

December 1999

• "No more isolation!" is what the Logan Tapers seem to think recently. This has two reasons. Number one is our...

  

  It will happen in Augsburg, December 10th, 21:00 at the Blauer Salon. You should not miss it! They are going to show slides... Unitary, Thorsten Propeller, Goldfisch and the Logan Brothers will appear, and Debbie will sing for them for the first time. Hence we don't need Katie Holmes from now on. Thorsten will play together with Will Logan.

• And there is a numero dos...

  

  We have heard that the club "Hirsch" is somehow legendary. So let us hope for it.

• And we have seen Barbara Manning & the Go-Luckys! a third time this winter in Lindau. They were fabulous again. You should not miss them. They will play in Langenau, December 11th, for example. Hope to see you there...
• Not to forget Barbaras birthday party in Langenau, Dec 12. It seemed like she opened for some guy from Boston. We forgot his name but we will never forget the party...

November 1999

• Yeah, November started with some very important event: We have seen Barbara Manning and the Go-Luckys! in Augsburg and in Munich. She's an incredible kind person. The Go-Luckys! are Fabrizio and Flavio. Of course they are mega sympathic as well. You have to see them... and please don't buy Matador records anymore. More info about their latest record and the new label can be found here. Unfortunately it is not Logan Tapes :)

October 1999

• The Logan Brothers convinced Debbie to sing for them and she said... yep! Nevertheless we're still a trio. OK, you might ask for Will. Of course he is still a member, but on the other hand he is into a lot of other things right now. In fact has not been involved since the whole Miss Welder stuff.

September 1999

• Thorsten Propeller and Unitary (aka Niko aka Vince Logan) joined forces. Their new project Goldfisch materialized by recording an 7-song-album. Believe us or not, it works!

August 1999

• Our label has a new office: further details can be found on the contact sites.
• The Logan Bros. started recording songs for their next album.
• We agree that the latest news are pretty boring...but we work on us.

July 1999

• Basically we enjoyed the sunny summer days. Thorsten made a trip to London (England not Ontario), Dan went to Paris (France not Texas) to do some business transactions.
• There wasn't even a birthday party for Niko.

June 1999

• Our very kind friend Violet Beauregard (formally known as Jovita) celebrated birthday. Also at this place: "Happy Birthday!" (performed by Pizzicato 5)
• Niko helped the Logan Brothers to record another (in fact their third) cover version. If I Was A Boy by the famous fabulous Amanda Lear. It's going to be the title track of the next single.
• What a surprise! The Logan Brothers became Fan of the Month on the Die Moulinettes homepage. It's a great honor for them and they feel somehow flattered.

May 1999

• The main thing first: Our Popfest at the Propellerland was pretty well organized by Thorsten...congratulations. The crowd not exactly loved Unitary. For example they asked him why he's not using the black and white keys on his synthesizer. Well... this would be too easy since the upper keys are smaller and hence harder to hit... Will Logan appeared solo and played some songs. On one track he was accompanied by Limbo. Besides not the coolest show of the Logan Brothers ever, but quite nice... at least short and with a bit of improvisation. They played some modified songs from their latest album and ended with some... ehm white noise. Thorsten Propeller did a great job though. He gave copies of Ventilator to all of his friends. Unfortunately he did not wear his Stormtroopers uniform...
• ...and our Popfest got video-taped. DO NOT ask for it. We do not trade it. We do not donate it. We do not show it. We have destroyed all the existing copies. We have our reasons!
• If you don't already know...the latest Logan Brothers album Miss Welder has finally been released. Check the page for further info.

April 1999

• Uuh, a lot happened. The Logan Brothers joined their forces with Niko for a song titled Postrock Sissycore. This is their second collaboration with him after Melinda Culea. It turned out to be pretty cool. Niko sang like Lou Barlow, since he sings fabulous and Deke was bored of singing all the time. The tune is going to be released on their next single If I was a boy.
• Goldfisch will be a bigger project than expected. Maybe you don't know what we are talking about? Well, Goldfisch (german spelling!) is Niko aka Unitary plus Thorsten Propeller or shall we better say Unitary times Thorsten Propeller. A release will follow, either on Turboprop or on Logan Tapes. They should send a demo tape (haha).
• Amplifier Revolution! Logan Brothers turned into tubeheads since Limbo designed and developed an amp of his own. Of course we're so happy about that and simply cannot wait to try it out. He works on the distortion right now. The premiere will be at Propellerland for the next release party.
• Bye, until next month. We're going out tonight to see Sportfreunde Stiller.

March 1999

• Logan Brothers finished their album Miss Welder. It was high time for them to put out something new. Sorry folks, but there are only 24 tracks on it minus some rockisms like the song Rodeo Capitol of the World. Deke and Dan went through two big beat (slow, somehow massive) phases, some poppy crackers, not that straight songs you probably know from Howard Hughes - Bontempi sounds have been quite influencial. By the way, it's not urban country music anymore, it is definitely TOY POP! Some samples are not quoted in the inlay of the record: the Ralley Champion Rauno Aaltonen, awful german TV shows and demonstration CDs.
• Our favorite mathematician Unitary moved into a new home. Now it's only 10 minutes to the Ballyhoo Valley aka the Valley of the Logans. No more weird sessions at Room 1505... sad but true. No more students listening to us unvoluntarily, only students playing voluntarily.
• Prepare for the Thorsten Propeller release party... how about May 15th.

February 1999

• Well... watching The Simpsons.

January 1999

• Logan Tapes releases are now available at the Ungawa record stores (sic!), but we won't make any profit with it.
• We think that Thorsten Propeller has nearly finished his new album Ventilator (?, this means fan in english). Mostly it contains some 4-track stuff.

December 1998

• We had a pretty cool release party for Unitary's new album Revolutionary Bread Spreads at a local dorm. As always Thorsten Propeller, the Logan Brothers (as duo) and Unitary (himself) played. Besides we did some DJing (somewhere between FSK and Compulsion). Meanwhile Will celebrated Chrismas. Some of the tougher Thorsten Propeller fans got some problems with the bouncers but finally they payed their beers. During the Logan Brothers gig they showed some pictures from Las Vegas, the Yosemite National Park and certain sites in Utah.

November 1998

• Even final exams end... and nothing else happened.
• Stop... one thing has happened. All the Logan tapers had a little recording party at Niko aka Unitary. Some not yet known girl friends got telephone calls but they did not seem too amused... apart from our latest phone call. We played some honey pop songs on the phone and they just screamed for their boy friends. Yeah!

October 1998

• The "United Vaporizers of Corporate Rock" party was pretty cool. Especially noteable are Steffi, Limbo plus Debbie, Unitary and Thorsten Propeller showed up. Everybody played some old and new songs, like the following ones:
• Thorsten Propeller: Down In The Valley, Ich bin nicht geil, Unhappy.
• Logan Brothers: (She's A) Bore, Butterfly Rocketeer, Tomboy.
• Unitary: Election, Elephant Round.

We took some pictures. You'll see them quite soon on this site.

• Then Dan and Deke produced some new songs for Thorsten Propeller, namely Down in the Valley and Unhappy. Nice to be Steve Albini.

September 1998

• A new Logan Brothers album is in the works, but the 4-track recorder crashed. Nevertheless they still write songs. Examples are (Underwater) Pop Boy, (She's a) Bore or Butterfly Rocketeer. According to this titles, it seems that they take another step into pop.
• Unitary finally released some new tracks. They are on his first full length album and you'll be surprised. That's abstract music indeed.

Back to Logan Tapes.
