Aftershow DJ's: FRÄULEIN FREAKBEAT - SUZY CREAMCHEESE - STROKO

>>>> VVK: https://vvk.link/3vttz2o

Taking a name that smirks at their non-german background, Zukunft (german for future) are a French/American rock group formed in Berlin in 2020. Born initially as a trio and fixated on experimental improvisation, the group has steadily grown into a genre-bending 5-piece outfit that deftly weave the openminded explorations of Krautrock and country-infused tones of west coast psychedelia.

Sacred Buzz: Berlin-based band that packs a punch in a madman's blend of krautrock, garage rock and psych.

ROLANDO BRUNO was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After spending three years in Spain, he returned home to fully pursue his unique musical vision. His current tropical music project began in 2005, while he was still a member of the garage-punk band Los Peyotes. While Los Peyotes followed a classic rock band format, Bruno’s approach to cumbia was born in solitude, using his computer—his "best friend"—to craft backing tracks, humorously dubbing it his “MIDI Orchestra.”

In 2015, Bruno expanded his sound by assembling a full band and reintroducing himself as Rolando Bruno y El Grupo Arévalo, a supergroup of underground musicians from Buenos Aires. The lineup features members of Les Mentettes, Alfonso El Pintor, Los Alamos, Los Peyotes and Pecera.

Cumbia Trash: A Unique Sound & Aesthetic
Their music is rooted in cumbia, but Bruno defines it as "cumbia trash"—a style that blends Peruvian chicha, '80s and '90s Argentine cumbia, psychedelic rock, Afro rhythms, and other global influences. This genre is not only about the sound but also about its distinctive vintage aesthetics and visuals, which characterize the band’s unique identity. Their live shows are an electrifying guarantee of tropical dance madness!

To date, they have released three albums:
• Bailazo (2015)
• El Mundo Está Cumbiando (2019)
• Cosas Raras (2024)

Rolando Bruno has taken his cumbia trash sound worldwide, performing extensively throughout Argentina and neighboring countries. As a solo act, he has toured Europe regularly and has visited Japan three times. Meanwhile, with El Grupo Arévalo, he has completed one European tour, highlighted by a standout performance at the Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands.

BERNAR GOMMA is a heavy dose of Brazilian psychedelia mixed with artistic-contemporary abstraction. Solo project, a total mind blowing guitar. Wild Garage, Spring Reverb, Fuzz... Rusty effects/guitars with images from another dimension. Directly from Rio de Janeiro to twist your head up!

Mad Life Crisis (SkaPunk Bln) + Pussy Mouskouri (Punkrock/Bln)
Tickets

These four musicians breathe new life into the genre in a special way. An American, a Welshman, an Irishman and a German with a clear statement: Punk is not dead! And you know what: neither is ska, for that matter. The band was formed when Jake and Michael decided to try and cover the album “…And Out Come the Wolves,” one of their all-time favourites. They got to about half of it before the duo thought “Hey, in addition to Rancid covers, let’s play some original ska punk rock too, wouldn’t that be fun!” Over a few cold bottles of their favourite drink, they went through hundreds of band names. Most of them were meaningless combinations of words that just sounded good, as many band names are. But the intense “Beer-storming” ultimately led to the goal: Mad Life Crisis. Cheers!

Diese vier Musiker hauchen dem Genre auf besondere Weise neues Leben ein. Ein Amerikaner, ein Waliser, ein Ire und ein Deutsche mit einer klaren Aussage: Punk ist nicht tot! Und weißt du was: Ska ist es auch nicht, was das angibt. Die Band wurde gegründet, als Jake und Michael beschlossen, das Album "...And Out Come the Wolves" zu covern, einen ihrer absoluten Favoriten. Sie haben etwa die Hälfte davon geschafft, bevor das Duo dachte: "Hey, zusätzlich zu Rancid-Covern, lass uns auch etwas Original-Ska-Punk-Rock spielen, würde das nicht Spaß machen!" Bei ein paar kalten Flaschen ihres Lieblingsgetränks gingen sie Hunderte von Bandnamen durch. Die meisten von ihnen waren bedeutungslose Wortkombinationen, die einfach gut klangen, wie viele Bandnamen auch. Aber das intensive "Beer-Storming" führte letztendlich zu dem Ziel: Mad Life Crisis. Prost!

Seit 2002 sind Pussy Mouskouri unterwegs, um allen, die sie hören wollen, die größten Punk-Rock-Hits aller Zeiten um die Ohren zu schlagen. Dabei werden selbst die ruhigsten Balladen-Barden wie z.B. Dead Kennedys oder Offspring in knappe 3-Minuten-Kracher umgewandelt, immer unter der Maxime, dass die Zeit bis zum nächsten Schluck Bier nicht zu lang sein darf. Dementsprechend ist im Publikum und auf der Bühne der Frustfraktor meistens gering, der Partyfaktor dagegen extrem hoch.

Since 2002, Pussy Mouskouri has been road to listen to the greatest punk-rock hits ever. The most quiet ballan-bards, such as Dead Kennedys or Offspring are becomes into knappe 3-minute-Knorker, always under the the Maxime that the time to the next Bier't be allowed to be to a long. Accordingly, the frustration factor is usually beding in the audience and on the stage, the frustration factor is extremely high.

Human Hair People (Post/Wave/Punk/BI) + Krause (Punkrock/B)
Tickets
after Show 22.00 Uhr DJs: Some Kind Of Happening

Human Hair People aus Bielefeld spielen eine Version von Post Punk, die hingehört, genickt und ihren eigenen Senf dazugegeben hat, von dem reichlich im Keller steht. Schließlich spielen Jones Stolze (Bass), Robert Becker (Gitarre), Andreas Hankock (Gitarre, Gesang) und Morten Wienold (Schlagzeug) seit über 30 Jahren immer wieder in verschiedenen Bands zusammen. Als Human Hair People kennen sie den staksigen Funk von Gang Of Four, den musikalischen Stoizismus von „It’s not repetition, it’s discipline“-Mark E. Smith/The Fall (sind dabei aber nicht so schlecht gelaunt), genauso wie sie die komplexere Mathematik und Präzision von Nomeansno um ein paar Ecken weiter denken. Dazwischen zeugt ein so überraschend wie kurz durch den Raum fliegendes Bluesriff von Kenntnis der Historie oder geschmeidige Offbeats lockern die Spannung für einen Moment. Nichts ist sicher in diesem Kontext. Human Hair People kennen ihre Pappenheimer und ihre Pappenheimer lieben sie. Wie Karin Bornefeld von den holländischen Hardcore-Legenden The Ex, die ihrem Support Act HHP begeistert bescheinigte: „ Ganz ähnlich wie wir“. Too long, don’t read: Human Hair People sind musikalisch anspruchsvoll, so geradeaus wie komplex, instrumental ausgereift, textlich mit politischer Substanz! Hingehen, hören!!!

All the way from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) Jordan from Pinch Points, Miranda from Dr Sure's Unusual Practice, Tom from Gonzo and Dragnet, Amada from Carpet Burn, Gutter Girls plus Chris and Erik from Hobsons Bay Coast Guard. What do you get when you put these people in one practice room? Yes - CHECKPOINT! 
Synth-punk-driven garage madness. Solid grit, multiple and good flipping variations. Including crazy-ass funky vibes, and even cadences near Aussie cumbia (if it even exists?) in passages. Exquisite drums, and the synth and keyboards are excellent here. The old lo-fi ’80s tape vibe is well-achieved, and there’s even some nods to the style of Under the Gun associates. Multifaceted, trance-inducing egg-psych almost all the way, especially the track “Circuit Breaker.” Good blasting explosions of Australian garage from a solid super-group delivering new dimensions and sounds. Crunchy, deep-fried, lo-fi feels.perfect!

FLAWS sound like an old dangerhouse band (BAGS!) mixed with riot Grrrrl influences, like it! aus Berlin/B.H.

JEAN MIGNON is a solo project from NYC-via-Boston noise impresario Johnny Steines. He borrows the name of a 16th century French engraver to plunge into a breakneck, blistering river of feedback. Over the course of just under fourteen minutes, he shreds, howls, deadpans, and overall gives the impression of someone who might see that they have 666 monthly listeners on Spotify and say “Sick.”

Primal Rock and Roll that screams from the speakers and excites like a high-speed car chase! A reckless sort of freedom that comes with trading nuance for garage punk rawness.

Emerging from the hot, bubbling scene of Tel Aviv, PIE O MY quickly gained popularity in the local alternative circuits through relentless touring and word-of-mouth buzz. Soon enough they began performing at high-profile music festivals and received airplay on national radio.

Inspired by acts like Queens of the Stone Age, Ty Segall and The Oh Sees, Pie o My stands out for its unique blend of high-energy rock'n'roll with heartfelt ballads. With catchy melodies and memorable hooks, Pie’s distinctive fusion of heavy guitar riffs and smashing drums alongside mellow melodies and soulful vocals will shake your bones and electrify your senses on one song, then will break your heart and make you raise your lighter on the next.

Kult-Punkrocker MÄNNI startet erste Headlinertour „Die fröhliche Tour“ in 2025
Ab September 2025 geht der Punkrock-Künstler MÄNNI erstmals auf eigene Headlinertour. Passend zur letzten Veröffentlichung „Das fröhliche Album“ (Dackelton Records) wird es unter dem Motto 
„Die fröhliche Tour“ neun Konzerte in ganz Deutschland geben.
Wie gewohnt mit rauer Stimme, manchmal tiefgründig, oft politisch wird hier deutschsprachiger Punkrock mit viel Melancholie und Witz geboten. Neben den alten Hits wie „Ibuprofi“, „Dreck Müll 
Chaos“ oder „Krasseste Gang“ gibt es erstmals auch die neuen Songs im Rahmen einer ausgedehnten Spielzeit zu hören. 
Nach mittlerweile fünf Tonträgerveröffentlichungen und zahlreichen Konzerten u.a. als Supportband für WIZO, BETONTOD oder SLIME wird das einstige Soloprojekt Live zum 4-köpfigen 
Energiebündel.
Songs über die Freude am Scheitern und dem Drang alles verändern zu wollen, für alle die auch nicht 
klar kommen. Kratzig, rotzig, einfühlsam.

Call Me Malcolm - Razor-Toothed, Harmony Infused, Delicately Ferocious Ska/ England + TBA
Tickets
Event Bild

Razor-toothed, harmony infused, delicately ferocious ska. British 5-piece Call Me Malcolm exploded onto the Ska Punk scene in 2018 with a record described by ska legends Less Than Jake as "a saving grace of the genre." Malcolm's genre blending mastery and intricate songwriting has since crafted “some of the most special, unique, ambitious music in the punk underground.” (BrooklynVegan) landing them at #8 in Ska Punk Daily’s “Albums of the Decade” and #15 in Brooklyn Vegan’s “Best Punk Albums of 2020” with consecutive releases.  

2024 saw the release of 'Echoes and Ghosts', a 10-track, melodic powerhouse about identity, self, and suicide. Songwriter-in-chief Lucias describes it as “a eulogy for the parts of myself I killed with medication, and a love letter to the silhouette I became.”

OH YEAH - MEET THE OHNOS!
Meet The OhNos, a Swedish quartet dedicated to delivering morbid power pop and energetic live
shows. Since their inception in 2014, the band has toured Scandinavia, Spain, Croatia and Switzer-
land, treating audiences to their melodic mix of 60s garage, 70s punk rock and 90s indie.
Their debut ep Queens Of The Underworld (2015) was followed by the album Sounds From The Ba-
sement (Rundgång Rekords 2017). A tour with fellow Spanish punkrockers Las Furias was made in

2019, which resulted in the split cassette Queens of Noise (Lucinda Records/Cassettine/Rundgång
Rekords 2020).The band has also been sharin stage with other international acts - The Garden,
Destruction Unit, Sapphic Musk, Laura Stevenson, Duncan Reid & the Big Heads, The Courettes and
Satanic Surfers.

2022 saw the release of The OhNos’ sophomore album Waving from Hades (Beluga Records/Lucin-
da Records): 11 tracks dealing with life’s absurdities through howls and hand claps, fuzzy riffs and

swampy blues. Local musician Malin Hofvander (Mary Anne’s Polar Rig) was recruited as studio en-
gineer, while Joakim Lindberg and Ulf Blomberg did the mixing and mastering respectively. As with
their first record, the album cover was designed by artist Bartosz Nalezinski.

During 2023 and 2024 the band has been on tour in Spain, UK and Germany, while starting on
some new material. The first of three new eps are to be released this coming summer, with the
first single, ”Universo” being released in May.
Plans for the summer include the recording of ep number two, along with playing some festivals.

The autumn of 2025 will be started off with a return to Germany for a short September tour.

Hopefully we will see you on the road!
