WILSON A.
What started out as a bunch of separate poems in a shared Google Drive folder, evolved into Wilson A: a Haarlem-based Indie collective that balances between DIY-indie, garage rock and post-punk. Wilson A. makes sharp, ironic anthems about mobile phone addictions, marathon runners and hopeless parties you should have probably already left two hours ago.
With an infectious combination of danceable grooves, unpolished guitars and oldschool synthesizers, Wilson A. creates a live show that is simultaneously quirky and compelling. At its core, their music is convincing, honest and fun. Moving away from the typically darker themes in post-punk, Wilson chooses to approach current day problems from a cheerful and absurdist perspective.

GEGENPHASE
After being part in Easy Listening- and Elektropunk-Setups in Frankfurt and Berlin singer Wolfgang Renner meets Gregor Blanz and Reinhard Koch again - some old acquaintances from their rural origin in Bavaria. They had been hanging out in the Hamburg 60s Garage Scene.
Together they start “Gegenphase”, combining the best of both worlds and celebrating a mixture of Garage Punk and “Neue Deutsche Welle” sound: The German lyrics on topics like “Haus, Glas, Klingel, Tür, Gefahr“ being a key element to this.
Soon gigs in the Berlin underground clubs are performed and the first EP “The Melody Central Tapes” is being recorded. There is a positive Echo in local booking, online blogs and streaming services (e.g.: detector.fm – band of the month).
PETULA, KID IKARUS & FRENS: FESTIVAL DER FREUNDSCHAFT
Immergutdrauf! Friendskilde! Burning Freund! Wie in jedem Jahr haben Sebastian und Conrad Geburtstag, wie in jedem Jahr feiern sie dies Ende September, wie so oft und gern erneut im schönsten Schokoladen des Universums!
Wie in jedem Jahr ist das Programm mit heißer Nadel gestrickt und wie in jedem Jahr ist es doch pures Gold: Ein Gebet vor dem Altar der platonischen Liebe, eine Messe für die Freundschaft, ein beherzter Griff in die Spendenkasse der Church of Gut Drauf!
2025 haben sie erneut alte und neue Hits und Frechheiten zusammengetragen und obendrein viele freundschaftskompatible Gästys eingeladen, von denen einige wahrscheinlich sogar kommen! Wer das ist, wird dann gegebenenfalls nach und nach verraten, wegen Spannung und Content.
Werden Sie auch 2025 ihren kürzlich offiziell auf Platz 81 der 100 besten Lieder über die Freundschaft gewählten Turbohit „Freunde Sind Gut Drauf“ performen? Man darf gespannt sein bzw. natürlich werden sie das!
Wie immer: Kommt alle!

thirsty & miserable present: 40 years BIRTHDAY PARTY czech PUNK legends (curated by MadameMacario)
UŽ JSME DOMA { pronounce «oosh∼smeh∼dough∼ma» } is a group originally founded in 1985 at Teplice (czech republic) with some flesh & brain pieces of F.P.B.…
• Hard to resume soon 40 arghtivism years : Nine studio albums, two re∼recorded & re∼arranged studio recordings, three live albums { last & new one starring Randy of The Residents }, two DVDs, one lyrical book, one pop∼up book & around 3000 shows around the earth… The band’s approach to arrangements & style is unique in the world of «rock». They bring instruments & vocals in different directions within the same scales and keys to create a dense melodic atmosphere. In addition, their rhythms often accent off∼beats and half∼beats, throwing the listener into unexpected directions. The music seems to be an exhausting juxtaposition between beauty and ugliness, as songs will frequently shift between modes to create tumultuous, powerful hooks. The combo is also fond of shifts between time signatures and the insertion of extra beats in the shaping of the mood of the song…
• The lyrics of Miroslav Wanek are considered as deep sweet crazy poetry. And all artworks are well∼done by permanent non∼musician member, painter Martin Velíšek. Without any doubt : «We are well in their home» !

F.P.B. { short for Fourth Price Band } was one of the most influencial precursor band, from czech «punk» movement, formed in 1980 at Teplice —town bordering germany— by bassist, singer and poet Miroslav Wanek & his friend Petr Růžička, who improvised sort of «manager». These two amigos were soon joined by drummer Milan Nový and, later, by guitarist Romek Hanzlík. This line∼up scoured nearly 40 concerts { including a unique & epic date at the polish Jarocin festival } until 1985, when Mirek & Romek joined and truly launched the stammering collective Už Jsme Doma…
In 1986, the «manager» tried to reboot (under the same name) with a new members around the original drummer, who broke up in 1987…
• Since 2008, Wanek & Hanzlík let Už Jsme Doma play 21 songs from F.P.B. repertoire during exceptional, fusional passionate concerts…

Kitty Solaris
»Solaris sounds almost like a grunge Lana Del Rey; it’s dark and moody, it’s rock ‘n’ roll, and it’s absolutely sublime« (Bornmusiconline). Kitty Solaris started writing songs in her kitchen, leading to no fewer than nine albums – the latest released in 2024. Kitty Solaris follows her heroes – The Velvet Underground, Cat Power and Patti Smith – but in a way that is combining various styles and both analogue and electronic sounds. Her music rings out to disco beats of the 70s, keys from the 80s, rock vibrations from the 90s and a voice that is soft but with a strong core. Through telling everyday stories, Kitty Solaris opens up a universe that guides the listener through existential themes and feelings. Kitty Solaris releases on her own do-it-yourself-label founded in 2007, Solaris Empire
After so many years and legendary nights and beautiful concerts it will be the final Lofi-Lounge on October 1rst! Reaching out for new challenges in music and forming a full Kitty Solaris Band. Also recording another album called 'Kosmos". Currently promoting the Ghost Palace Artst Society @ghostpalaceartistsociety and the first vinyl album "Modern Mantra", just arrived from the factory ✨ Thanks to amazing bands and the great Schokoladen team (bar, booking and sound) for the lovely nights.

Tonia Reeh
„ She`d always been a bad girl.“
Mit ihrem neuen rein akustischen Soloprojekt, erfindet sich die in Ostberlin aufgewachsene und geborene Musikerin und Singer/Songwriterin wiedermal neu. Nachdem sie beim zuckenden Vakuum und Masonne E Gitarre spielte und sang, oder Jagoda, Monotekktoni, La Tourette, als Frontfrau, und Songwriterin an Synthesizer, Klavier oder E Gitarre spielte und Filmmusik schreibt. Und mit ihrem letzten Projekt: als La Tonia y Monotekktoni ihre antifaschistisch kämpferische Seite mit Elektro Flamenco manifestierte.
Jetzt hingegen möchte sie nun mit stromsparender Akustik Gitarre und Stimme die Herzen der Zuhörerinnen entern.
Auf ihrem am 26.9.25 auf Bandcamp erscheinenden Album „Blues Babies“ , gibt es auch mal ein rumpelndes Schlagzeug oder eine Orgel oder ein ähem Midi Cello und viel Body Percussion. Ähnlich die Tiefe, wie zur Zeit ihres luxuriösen Deals mit Clouds Hill, wo sie mit Klavier und exaltierter Stimme ihre düsteren Stories skandierte. Nur jetzt ganz schnodderig, dirty, auf den Punkt, und einfach schön.
Der Blues hat sie erwischt , denn das Leben ist eine chaotische Baustelle .
Kleine auf den Punkt gebrachte Geschichten, feministisch, anarchistisch, traurig, poetisch und anmassend frech. Von einem Leben von vielen Höhen und Tiefen und Einfühlungsvermögen in andere gescheiterte Existenzen kündend. Immer auf der Seite der Krummen, der Ausgebeuteten, der ausgenutzten Frauen, Tieren, Kindern, Oktaedern, Obdachlosen, Flüchtlingen, Migrantinnen, Schnabeltieren, Kühlschränken, Gitarren, Freiheitsstatuen, Losern und Prostituierten.
„You better keep your tongue inside your mouth!“
„I ́m sure you don`t want to support the war lords.“

Red Mess, formed in 2013 in Londrina, Brazil, and now based in Berlin, Germany, the trio has Thiago Franzim (guitar), Douglas Labigalini (drums) and LucasKlepa (bassist and vocalist) in their line-up. Its creation dates back to the childhood of members
Thiago and Douglas, who, in 2013, after the entry of Lucas Klepa, established once and for all what is now the Red Mess: a deep crooked experience with high volumes that somehow express and represent some sort of anger within. Back in their
hometown, Londrina, Red Mess music has its roots in powerful live performances and it is an important aspect of the band nowadays. This type of experience has always shaped the phonographic approach of the studio's productions of the band, trying to capture the energy of the live concerts.

MYMO’s journey began in Berlin amidst the stark winter of 2020 during the challenging times of the pandemic. It was in this vibrant yet uncertain backdrop
that Shaun, Mario, Matteo, and Bende converged, bringing together their diverse musical backgrounds to form a unified force in the alternative rock scene.
Comprising a unique fusion of three Italians and a Hungarian, MYMO transcends borders and cultural boundaries, blending their individual experiences and influences into a singular, pulsating entity. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of 90’s rock, MYMO’s sound is a captivating blend of progressive and hard rock elements.
Their sonic palette traverses the expansive landscape of musical expression, channelling the raw energy and introspective depth reminiscent of iconic bands like Tool, Porcupine Tree, and Pearl Jam. With each electrifying riff and haunting melody, MYMO invites listeners on a transcendent journey through the realms of emotion and imagination.

Seit nunmehr drei Jahren sind LAWN CHAIR aus der deutschen Indieszene nicht mehr wegzudenken. Bisher veröffentlichte die Band zwei EPs in Zusammenarbeit mit den Produzenten Olaf Opal (The Notwist, International Music) und Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) und spielte unzählige Gigs überall in Deutschland. Darüber hinaus waren eine erste Englandtour, mitreißende Supportshows für Sleaford Mods und Gigs auf Festivals wie dem Immergut Festival und der Fusion nur die jüngsten Meilensteine der ambitionierten Band. 2024 war es dann etwas ruhiger um LAWN CHAIR, die intensiv an ihrem Debütalbum arbeiteten und in langen Studiosessions einen Sound herausarbeiten, der in der deutschen Indieszene seinesgleichen sucht.
Ihr lang ersehntes Debütalbum YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! im Gepäck, werden 2025 die Bühnen von Clubs und Festivals unsicher gemacht und die Fans mit den energiegeladenen Shows, mit denen sich die Band einen Namen in der deutschen und englischen Indieszene gemacht hat, zum Schwitzen gebracht.
YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! verhandelt das Leben im Spätkapitalismus, gefangen zwischen Handysucht und toxischer Männlichkeit, zwischen der Sehnsucht nach Erfolg und innerer Ruhe, immer begleitet von den unausweichlichen Prägungen der eigenen Herkunft. Das alles verpackt die Band um Sängerin und Frontfrau Claudia Schlutius in einen fesselnden Genremix aus Post-Punkigen Hallarien, kompromisslos trockenen Gitarrenriffs, poppigen Basslines und treibenden Synthesizern, von Produzent Olaf Opal stilsicher in Szene gesetzt. Inspiriert von stilprägenden Bands wie DEVO, Broadcast und Beck ist YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! eine packende Auseinandersetzung mit den Widersprüchen des modernen Lebens.

THE GOTOBEDS are one-offs. Dry, brusque, tongue-in-cheek underground anthems that are largely lost in the sanitised world where metrics and mediocrity rule at large, the Pittsburgh punk juggernaut, consisting of Eli Kasan (vocals/ guitar), Tom “TFP” Payne (guitar), Gavin Jensen (bass) and Cary Belback (drums), have spent their existence hitting a frequency few others have found.
It’s one of the main reasons why they aren’t celebrated more. That fine line where punk and indie-rock sit, tenuous with little margin for error that defines good and bad; however, The Gotobeds nail the former by illuminating reality. The civic vitality of their native Pittsburgh, peaking through in their songs with blue-collar grit, harnessing the same intensity as underground rock alumni Bottomless Pit and Silkworm before them.
As the arts are swallowed up by capitalism and careerism via metric-focused bands slowly killing us with their soulless release campaigns, from the sidelines, it’s this kind of pain one has to endure in order to reach the core of something truly meaningful. At that core, there are bands like The Gotobeds. An act that revel in the small victories, for they know they are the sweetest ones. Whether The Gotobeds are content with their underdog status might be another question, but it doesn’t take away the fact that these small victories mean so much more, and on the back of Masterclass, well, the title says it all. ( sun-13.com/2025/06/02/the-gotobeds-masterclass/ )

Imagine you’re in the backseat of a car driving down a mountain the breaks are broken there’s a chicken on the drivers seat and a distorted bootleg tape is stuck in the radio.
CARDBOARD is a noisy and angry punk/post-punk band from berlin. They take inspiration from bands such as Bikini Kill, IDLES and Viagra Boys.
