With 'Metalchem' Paprika Korps is writing a new chapter of Heavy Reggae. For more than 10 years Paprika Korps is touring non stop all over Europe with it's special mix of caribbean groove, Dub elements, Alternative Rock, psychedelic sounds and New Wave.

Poland is the new place to be for pop music with electronic synthesizer
sounds of the 80ies mixed with the attitude of a singer songwriter. As
animation movie maker, drawer, multi-instrumentalist and singer,
Soniamiki lives right in the middle of scene of young polish artists.
In the beginning her little music project was intended for a fashion
show of friendly designer. Artwork and cover of her record are also
made by friends. Her partner is the singer of the post-rock band
L.Stadt, who's 'Death of a Surfer Girl' she made a very nice cover
version of. Soniamiki likes to play live with a drummer, a guitarist,
her computer, her self singing and - glad to see - also simultaneously
playing bass.
Her debut album '7pm' was recently released on moanin'. The record is available through all well known
download shops like iTunes, eMusic, Napster, AOL, etc.
The next concert will be at Antje Øklesund in Berlin on May 13th.
