To kick off the new year, message salon invites you to the record launch of the Zurich band Mr. Soul. The duo of the two musicians Lukas Müller and Arthur Fornallaz has played on many stages and in many cellars in this city over the past two years. In 2008, Mr Soul performed a live set at the opening of Alain Kupper’s exhibition at Perla Mode and in September 2009, the two musicians took to the stage at the message salon party “angefressen” at the Rote Fabrik.
Now Mr Soul’s first vinyl record is finally being released! To mark the release of the EP “strechin’out”, Mr Soul will be playing all the tracks from the new record live, and the band will be at the sales stand in person before the concert: 342 limited and numbered records, including a free CD, will be on sale. After the small EP concert, the two musicians, who also tour the parties of Switzerland as DJ Ulla & Tischlampenfieber, activate the turntables.
