Konzert mit Sodapop im beatzundkekse.
Autor: Nina Henkels
Am 19.1.2005 ab 21:00 Uhr gibt es einen gepflegten Singer/Songwriter-Abend mit Micha Walmsley a.k.a. Sodapop. Michael Walmsley, Sänger und Gitarrist von "Three Minute Poetry", ist alleine mit seiner Gitarre unterwegs um sein Soloalbum "Je suis Luc Tonnerre" zu präsentieren. Stücke voller Leidenschaft von einem Mann, der weiss, wie man Gefühl buchstabiert. Mal abgesehen von den üblichen Infofloskeln ist Sodapop ein ungwöhnlich charmanter Unterhalter, der über die gesamte Konzertlänge fesselnd bleibt. Daumen hoch für diesen (noch) Geheimtipp!
Presse: "Luc Tonnerre is actually a character in a series of school books used to teach French. So what's the link? Apparently, Walmsley has long sought an outlet for his leanings toward gentle acoustic pop, though in reality his solo work sounds more like acoustic emo than Europop. For this at least we can thankful, but if that sounds like faint praise then be re-assured; as Sodapop, Walmsley has unearthed a strain of emo far more heartfelt and - whisper it - pretty than anything the genre has offered in the last half a decade." (logo-magazine.com)
"This offering comes from Michael Walmsley from German emo-punk band Three Minute Poetry, who has clearly carried on with the emo theme and produced this brilliant EP. Je Suis Luc Tonnerre has been described as reflecting Dashboard Confessional - however if I'm going to be honest I probably prefer this to any of the stuff I've heard from Chris Carraba. Having never heard either Sodapop or Three Minute Poetry before there was a definite element of surprise when I received the cd, and it hasn't left my discman since arrival." (static domain)
