I’ve always had a great respect for DJ groups that put on a great live show being it’s kind of a difficult thing to do since they aren’t really playing any conventional instruments. Austria’s A.G.Trio are one of those groups. Since their formation they have been really bringing their version of catchy bass heavy techno to the dance-floor and leaving no survivors. The technoid house group recently released their infectious and hilariously lyrical Electro Messiah for free in hopes to become the next disco heroes. In addition their explosive debut, Zombies In The Disco, has been making the rounds in clubs across the world and is available here.

So this week Aka Tell answers the Kuestionnaire and shares an interesting stage moment.

Roland (our Singer) makes crazy spins on his back on stage at the Refact Festival in Serbia when he collides with the equipment-table. A bottle of beer he put there a few minutes before starts falling and heads directly to Rolands head. Hanna (doing visuals that evening) sees this and jumps forward, catching the bottle only centimeters before crashing on Rolands head. Evening saved. One hour before the headliner-band of the evening had to cancel because their guitarist was hurt by a stone on his head while taking a piss….
