When Edgar the goldfish dies, a whole new world of emotions and adventures opens up for Eva and Valentin, later joined by Lucas. There's no way for them to keep it all in — in 2017, they create edgar déception as a way to channel their feelings into music. Sometimes fast and chaotic, other times calm and ambient, edgar déception’s songs rise and fall, capturing the feelings of everyday life through sweet riffs and intense buildups.

HALFSILKS are a Berlin based trio consisting of bassist/vocalist Karen Thompson from Winnipeg, drummer/vocalist Jana Sotzko from Berlin and synth player/ vocalist Olivier Bernet from France. 
They manage to sit within the realm of post-punk whilst swirling around it 60s vibes, harmonies that reminisce on both sunshine pop and the avant-garde.

BANDIT VOYAGE is a raw sonic adventure.

Anissa Cadelli's voice, distant yet magnetic, carries naive and sharp lyrics drifting between love, boredom, and the love of boredom. Groovy bass turns into minimalist guitar, drum machines pulse like a restless heart.

Formed in Geneva in 2016 by Anissa Cadelli and Robin Girod, the duo crafts a sound suspended between pop epic, untamed rock, and volatile punk energy.

Since 2023, Zurich-based drummer and producer Domi Chansorn has joined the journey, injecting explosive rhythm through his signature cocktail drum.

Three albums and multiple EPs later, released between 2018 and 2025 on Cheptel Records, BANDIT VOYAGE keeps burning and rebuilding, loud, honest, and unapologetic.

LADY LAZARUS (punk/sydney_bln) + PROBABLY NANCY (garage_altrock/bln)

LADY LAZARUS is a Sydney-born, Berlin-based punk band combining brash energy, sharp political messaging, and a DIY ethos that refuses to compromise. Established by Caroline on vocals, Izzy on bass, and Jules on drums, Lady Lazarus channels the raw spirit of punk legends that came before them, described by critics as “a reawakening of our punk ancestors"

PROBABLY NANCY is a Berlin-based ClitRock band founded by the street musician Giorgia Job, Nuria Koala and Liliana Zieniawa. Their songs are inspired by the lovely Berliner discomfort with their shitty friends, murderers, donkey lovers, stinky 24h bars, addictions and kartoffelsalat.

Eine der angesagtesten Bands der Neuen Deutschen Welle (zu einer Zeit, als das noch kein Schimpfwort war, sondern ein Begriff für eine wirkliche Wende in der deutschen Musikkultur) kehrt nach den erfolgreichen Auftritten zum 40jährigen Jubiläum der Band nun endlich wieder auf die Bühne zurück. 
Der erste Auftritt seit 1982 erfolgte Ende Mai 2019 im Hamburger Hafenklang, das bereits nach einer Woche (!!!) restlos ausverkauft war.
Ende der siebziger Jahre von Sänger Ziggy XY und Gitarrist Eckart Kurtz aka E.K.T. gegründet, avancierte die aus Hannover stammende Band mit ihren experimentierfreudig angelegten, deutschsprachigen Wave-Klängen innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu einer der wichtigsten Formationen Neuen Deutschen Welle. So zählten seinerzeit Radio-DJ-Legende John Peel und das Musikmagazin Sounds zu den frühen Förderern der Band, die bis zu ihrer Auflösung im Jahre 1984 neben zwei Singles und Minialben ihre beiden, auf dem Kultlabel No Fun erschienenen Longplayer „80 Tage Auf See" (1980) und „Unmodern" (1982) veröffentlichte.
Nach dem grandiosen Reunion-Erfolg waren sich Mattus (Gesang), EKT (Gitarre), Felix (Schlagzeug) und Jenzzz (Bass) einig, daß dieses nicht der letzte Auftritt gewesen sein sollte. Die alte Spielfreude war wieder da und die Fans haben's ordentlich abgefeiert - nicht zuletzt, weil die Band so ziemlich alle Hits Ihres umfangreichen Katalogs im Gepäck hatte.
Mittlerweile wird DER MODERNE MAN am Schlagzeug durch Felix' Nachfolger Lars Horl unterstützt und aktuell arbeitet die Band an einem brandneuen Album. Quasi als Vorbote dazu erscheint bereits im November 2024 die EP "45 Jahre Auf See", auf der eine Neueinspielung von vier Klassikern der Band zu finden ist. „Der Unbekannte", „Licht Und Dunkelheit" und „Vergesslichkeit" stammen vom Debütalbum „80 Tage Auf See", „Sinnloz" entstammt derselben Zeit, liegt hier jedoch erstmalig als Studioversion vor.
Gang Of Four trifft auf Joy Division, gepaart mit der typisch deutschen Sperrigkeit der 80er, die auch John Peel an der Band schon so geliebt hat.

Tiny Doris:  jetzt kriegen wir bestimmt ärger mit der kirche

Das Konzert ist ausverkauft!

Die TIGER-TOUR bringt die im Februar erscheinende EP „TIGER“ nach Leipzig, Köln, Wien, Hamburg und Berlin.

Piya macht digitalen Chanson. Zusammen mit ihrer Band, ihren Freund*innen und Spielkamerad*innen, wird gebrüllt, Pauken treffen auf Autotune und „Dissonanz auf ruhigen Beat“. 

Piya singt auf ihrer EP von einer Identitätssuche in einer Welt, in der es keine Identitäten mehr zu geben scheint. Aus Wut und Verzweiflung erwächst Mut, ihren Frust in die Welt zu schreien! Dabei bleibt piya vertraut, magnetisierend und magisch.

»A breathlessly unpredictable collision of punk energy, math-rock time signatures, techno beats, free-jazz sax solos, blaring synthesisers and tumbling call-and-response vocals, "Snapshot Of Pure Attention" is the incredible second album by fast-rising Berlin trio PAINTING. Their debut album "Painting Is Dead", was hailed as "the greatest new band in the German pop avant-garde" by Rolling Stone.«
