Karlsruhe: Tascosa + Tom Mess

Under the KarlsUnruhe label, two acts from the region each make make "noise" once a month at Minestrone. To be honest, we didn't invent We didn't invent "Karlsunruhe" and the older ones may remember: there was a cool vinyl sampler back in the 90s and also events in the (then still) Subway. We are extremely keen to continue this tradition now, because seriously: is there a more suitable name more suitable name for live shows in and from our city?

TASCOSA - named after a ghost town in Texas, where Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid once made the saloons unsafe play a mixture of American indie rock, Mexican mariachi influences Mexican mariachi influences and the soundtrack of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Fuzzy delay guitars, a crystal-clear trumpet, catchy melodies and a velvety-soft and deep vocal form the foundation form the foundation of a sound that is almost unique in Germany. overall sound. After appearances at the Maifeld Derby Festival, the the Mannheim Brückenaward Festival, at the Alte Feuerwache Mannheim and and their own melting butter session in the RAMA recording studio, TASCOSA are now are now ready for the next stage!

Direct Songwriting without frills, casual, with a countryesque edge, cold, poppy arrangements, and a lot of passion, sometimes dirty, sometimes intensely slow. And that voice. Rough, hauntingly relaxed, emotional. Tom actually didn't want to play again so soon, but Peter came around the corner with the idea and the one or two concert requests a year that year that Tom could no longer refuse. So they formed again in again in a very short time. Reinforced by Sandra and pedal steel, the package becomes a never dreamed of bubble that hopefully won't burst any time soon. burst any time soon. After 400+ concerts under their belts - including in hardcore bands since 1994 and tours in Europe and the USA, in front of 2 and 2000 people, with Chuck Ragan, Leatherface, Hot Water Music, Tim Barry, Drag the River etc. Solo since 2009, since 2015 with band: Marvin - Pedal Steel, Sandra - voice, Danny - bass, Simon - drums, Peter - guitar, and happiness - what it gives you joy of friends and music, you forget about everyday life, getting the aging and the hardships you have gone through to get here. to get here.
