HeToldMeTo
SHOW | FRI, OCTOBER 7TH
Just another mellow musician, his guitar and a loop station? With a pleasant smile and a touch of sarcasm, Sandro Weich aka HeToldMeToflirts with this label and gives the lie to it. Because who ever had the chance to experience him live, will agree that he is much more thanthat. Singer, guitarist, producer, loop artist and above all a great songwriter, who manages with skill and passionate performance to createa spotlight of fascination – even alone on big stages.
More Kat Frankie than Ed Sheeran, more Darwin Deez than Bruno Mars, HeToldMeTo is pop music for people who turn up their noses at 'pop' –comparable to a better-humored Trent Reznor writing catchy songs for himself – indiepop without #vanlife, with a clear edge. The big issuesof our time find their place as well as personal stories – through the eyes of a white first-world man, who is well aware of his privileges andknows how to critically question the mechanisms of his reality. Razor-sharp lyrics between joy-of-life and death-wish, between gratitudeand incomprehension, always peppered with teasing humor, are illustrative for the supposed contrasts that combine to form a coherentoverall picture in the work of HeToldMeTo.
