Suzanne Forbes, a New Yorker thriving in Berlin. Crowdfunded documentary art made possible by the generous support of her Patrons. https://www.patreon.com/SuzanneForbes.
I returned to the delightful Art Stalker Berlin to see the first Donut Heart reunion.
Alfred Ladylike and Rah Hell were performing with blues band Vintage & Used. Rah says I am getting better at drawing the drums! It was interesting to draw her arm and wrist movements playing the blues vs. playing punk with Baron and The Erinyes. Her axis of movement was much lower. You can see what I mean by that, with the sharper angle of her forearms, in these drawings from the Sekrit Rehearsal Space. You can see my previous visit to Art Stalkerhere!
Vintage & Used is the other band Baron Anastis is in and they were great. Greek guys can totally play the blues!
You can see dozens more musician drawings here on flickr.
As always, I am so grateful to my beautiful Patrons on Patreon for providing the monthly sponsorship that allows me to document the Berlin music scene!
Her partner Wynton Kelly Stevenson is an amazing one-man band.
Wynton Kelly Stevenson by Suzanne Forbes Dec 31 2017
We were blown away by his sounds, created with harmonica, beatbox and Loopstation. And his sound is super danceable. Hubbin got up and danced a bit along with the folks of all ages who enjoy the chill Lagari scene!
Here you can see Alfred Ladylike serenely conserving her energies for…
They were joined at the end by Liliana, who just learned to play the bass!
At one point Rah had to stand up and drum because her drum was trying to escape the pounding she was giving it. Wynton had to lie on it to hold it in place. Berlin is punk as fuck.
There were other performances like burlesque queen Viva Lamore coming out of a handmade giant Campbell’s Soup Can, and we received handmade banana hats in our goody bag. We had such a lovely time.
