Atari Teenage Riot Premiers 4 Live Videos from Berlin Show


Atari Teenage Riot Consequence of Sound premiered 4 live videos from Atari Teenage Riot which you can see below. The tracks are "Activate", "The Only Slight Glimmer Of Hope" , "Blood In My Eyes" and "Collapse Of History".

The concert footage was captured by 5 cameras on May 1st 2011, when Atari Teenage Riot played a secret show at Berlin’s legendary techno club Tresor to premiere their new album Is This Hyperreal? live. A new stage was built on the 2nd floor of the building where the public is not usually allowed. A small amount of fans were able to win free tickets to attend the show. Alec Empire of Atari Teenage Riot says: ”It was amazing to perform the new songs at this historic location. This is pretty much where techno started in the 90ties. It reminded people of old sci-fi movies from the 20ties like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.Felt very intimate and nobody knew the new tracks...very exciting!”

Atari Teenage Riot’s “Black Flags (feat. Boots Riley)” remix package available with 7 “Black Flags” remixes by
Tony Senghore, Andy's ILL Remix, Taku Remix, Nom De Strip Remix, Muffler Remix, Bais Haus Remix, and “Activate” remixes by Whiiite Remix, Dan Oh Remix, and AudioFun on September 6th via iTunes and everywhere else on September 20th.

“ In the past decade we have witnessed how dangerous corruption can be for ordinary citizens, from Fukushima to the financial crisis, we could even include the current phone hacking scandals in the UK in this. The list goes on. Almost weekly more shocking news is being published. Corporate greed has too often put the lives of people in danger. Historically, the Black Flag stood for not belonging to a certain Nation State (due to the fact that no national colors were used on it). For the us, it means also that no individual can look at him/herself as superior to others just because of his/her national identity.

The mainstream media often looks at “consumers” and labels them as “apathetic.” But as the protests around the world have indicated, there is more political activism than ever before. And not only that, we see the same activism and energy at our concerts. Cynics always find many reasons for not doing anything and being miserable. Often they say that the world is too “complex” to get involved. We believe that even though the world is complex, there are some fundamentally powerful ideas. Respect for another human being, for example, is a fundamental idea that grants great power.

If you agree to the basic principles of equality and freedom, join us and make a statement!

The visuals of Atari Teenage Riot videos have always been very important. Directors like Philipp Virus, Andrea Giacobbe, John Hillcoat, and Zan Lyons have done an excellent job in working together with the band and getting the message across to a wide audience. We want “Black Flags” to follow in those footsteps of our previous video, but with one key difference: Atari Teenage Riot wants you to be in it!
