HOBOIN’ MIND (Music & Lyrics by Christoph Karlheim)

This is our new track which will also be included on our up and coming album no. II in 2025. This song refers to a few things: 
1) Woody Guthrie ones said “music is the language of the mind that travels” 
2) There are a few hints to the Beats and also to C. Bukowski 
3) The drumparts are nods to both Atomic Steif (Sodom) and Stewart Copeland (The Police) 
4) With the verb “hobo” I’d like to describe a mind which is agile/versatile/loose and free to move – even if it ‘just’ happening in your own thoughts and is not taking place in physical movement or action. 

The mind is a beast of its own kind and with its own agenda – so, don’t panic!!!

CLOUDOGRAPHY NO.9 (Music & Lyrics by Christoph Karlheim)

Live at the Bunker in Bielefeld, 16.08.2024

We were invited by Good Fortune to support them on their record-release-party on August 16th 2024 at Bunker Ulmenwall in Bielefeld. We were unaware of the fact that Joel was recording all night. Besides the great sound he created that night for the audience, he also captured us live, raw and unpretentious – PAWER-ROCK at its best! Götz and Karli mixed and mastered the stuff. So here is “CLOUDOGRAPHY NO.9” live at the Bunker – Nur für Euch! In diesem Sinne: PAWER ON!

Remember Me As I Am Tonight - live Stiftsmarkt 2018

MIGHTY MARTENS – PAWER-ROCK aus Bielefeld (Pressetext)

PAWER ON! Mit einem Klick des „Mighty Martens“-Gitarrenpedals auf dem Cover unseres Albums wird der geneigte Hörer in die Zeit der mächtigen Powertrios der 60er und 70er Jahre zurückkatapultiert: hier gibt es ehrliche, handgemachte Mucke auf die Ohren.

Stilistisch sind die MIGHTY MARTENS breit aufgestellt, es gibt eine räudige Melange aus Rock, Blues, Hardrock, Heavy Metal, Funk und hier und da Spuren von Doom und Southern Rock. Diese blumige Mischung heißt im MIGHTY-MARTENS-Jargon PAWER-ROCK!

Das Fundament, auf dem dieser Schmelztiegel steht, ist der Bandsound. Geprägt wird dieser durch Karlis dreckige Vocals, seinen noch dreckigeren, fuzzigen Basssound, Franks fetzige und dynamische Gitarre und Bastis wuchtiges Drumming. Eben eigenständiger PAWER-ROCK. Das ganze herrlich antiquiert dargeboten mit Tonnen von Gitarrensoli, der ein oder anderen Bluesharp, aber auch mal experimentellen Passagen.

Oder wie das Gitarre&Bass Magazin schrieb, als es unser Album „Pawer On!“ im November 2022 in der „Yoursite“ Rubrik zum Newcomer des Monats kürte: „(…) ergibt das eine ganz eigene, oftmals auch psychedelische Retromischung mit viel Druck und Spaß in den Backen“.

Und so ist es, ganz genau.

MIGHTY MARTENS sind
Karli: Gesang, Mundharmonika & Bass
Frank: Gitarre
Basti: Schlagzeug
