M:Soundtrack X am:Start presents: Release : The Erich Weinert Studioband (Bln) + Michał Biela (Pl)

The Erich Weinert Studioband is a collective in which roles shift:
There's no set schedule for who finds the lyrics to the melodies or the rhythm to the harmony.
They meet in the eponymous studio, where drummer Ed Rich records all stuff on tape-machine.
The result is heart-warming songs for dancing feet.
Fixed stars are the wonderfully clear vocals of Lydia Pfefferkorn (Jacques Palminger & 440Hz Trio),
the soup-salting piano of Fabian Skodda, as well as the signature sound of a soulful harmonica
played by Coward Harpendale (Andre Welt), and last but not least:
guitarist F.S.Blumm, who is involved in numerous projects and recently switched to bass.

The band locates its sound somewhere between everyday poetry and ancient pop music.

Die Erich Weinert Studioband ist ein Kollektiv in dem die Rollen wandern:
Wer gerade den Text zu den Melodien oder den Rhythmus zur Harmonie findet ist nicht festgelegt.
Man trifft sich im namensgebenden Studio, wo Schlagzeuger Ed Rich auch in einigen anderen
Formationen Musik aufs Tonband bringt. Am Ende stehen beherzte Lieder für tanzende Beine.
Fixsterne sind dabei der wunderbar klare Gesang von Lydia Pfefferkorn (Jacques Palminger & 440 Hertz),
das Suppe salzende Klavier von Fabian Skodda, sowie der Signature-Sound einer beseelten
Mundharmonika, gespielt von Coward Harpendale (Andre Welt) und zu guter letzt: der in eine Vielzahl von
Projekten verstrickte Gitarrist F.S.Blumm, welcher erst kürzlich zum Bass gewechselt ist. Die Band verortet ihren Sound zwischen alltäglicher Poesie und uralter Popmusik.

Lydia Pfefferkorn: Gesang
Fabian Skodda: Piano
Ed Rich: Schlagzeug
Andre Welt: Mundharmonika
F.S.Blumm: Bass

For M:Soundtrack’s birthday, curator and cultural connector Melissa Perales teams up with Rob from Little League Shows to present a night of live music charged with resistance and storytelling power. This special edition spotlights two genre-defying bands that embody Melissa’s enduring commitment to soundtracks, feminism, and radical community-building

Berlin-based quartet SO SORRY blends Heartfelt UK-jazz-infused alt-pop, reclaiming space through bold songwriting and radical tenderness. Vocalist Zuza Jasinska, bassist Shanice Ruby-Bennett, keyboardist Käthe Johanning, and drummer Lenny Rehm craft intricate arrangements that balance emotional vulnerability with boldness and collective empowerment. Since forming in 2023, they have become a fixture on Berlin stages—including XJAZZ Berlin—and contribute their musicianship to international projects. SO SORRY is not an apology, but a statement: reclaiming space and embracing musical courage. instagram.com/wearesosorryofficial / youtube.com/watch?v=h-mfw25Kg3E

SEOI NAGE – Cinematic kraut-funk from Münster.
Named after a classic judo throw and formed by musicians with martial arts backgrounds, Seoi Nage is an instrumental four-piece—delivering a genre-hopping tour de force. Think: martial arts cinema meets Italian giallo, sleazy car chases, and psychedelic noir. Their debut feels like the soundtrack to a cult film that never existed—full of swagger, funk, and suspense. instagram.com/seoinage_supersound / seoinage.bandcamp.com

Comprised of guitarist Tom Brooke and drummer Tuomas Kainulainen, NYOS are known for their immersive and often physically demanding live shows, having toured intensely throughout their first decade of existence, including tours supporting Zeal & Ardor, Esben and the Witch and The Comet Is Coming as well as appearances at festivals such as Sideways Festival in Helsinki, Fekete Zaj in Hungary and Pelagic Fest in Netherlands. The duo create massive sonic worlds using Brooke’s labyrinthine loops and atmospheric layering alongside Kainulainen’s kinetic drumming, in music that is rhythmic, raw, and eclectic.

Since their formation in 2014, NYOS have carved out a distinctive place within Europe’s experimental and post-rock scenes, characterised by their relentless energy, polyrhythmic complexity, and hypnotic layering.

While still rooted in their signature loop-based approach, Growl is “more ambitious with song soundscapes and compositions”, says guitarist Tom Brooke, naturally embracing a denser, more textured sound with greater attention to atmosphere and tension.

The band will be touring to support their 7th studio album ‘Growl’ throughout the 2nd half of 2025 and into 2026. (Growl to be released 10th October via Pelagic Records)

Der Soundtrack für den nervösen Blick über die Schulter. Was

zahllose Horrorfilme versprechen, macht die Dresdner Combo wahr. Da ist etwas in der Dunkelheit und es kommt auf uns zu – mal mit schleppenden Schritten und Kettensäge im Leerlauf, mal mit heulendem Motor und Vollgas. Es packt uns am Kragen, drückt uns gegen die nächste Hauswand und holt aus. Hier trifft Noise-Rock auf Stoner und Punk, ein anabolisch verzerrter Bass auf excellent gezockte Drums.

Seit 2023 ist Trigger Kid & the Ending Man zum Trio angewachsen.

Hypnotisch und akzentsetzende Gitarren- und Synthiefiguren fügen sich als zusätzliche Ebene in die Musik und vollenden die sich nach allem verzehrende Klanglandschaft – im ständigen Ringen mit den Dämonen im Kopf und der Doppelzüngigkeit einer sich selbst fakenden Gesellschaft. Für Hörer:innen von: Idles, The Black Angels, Mclusky, METZ.

Andreas „Spider“ Krenzke, Tobias „Tube“ Herre, Uli Hannemann, Eva Mirasol und Ivo Lotion präsentieren Geschichten, Lieder und Gäste.

Im November kommen die jungen Iren von SEARCH RESULTS zum ersten mal nach Berlin, und stellen ihr Debutalbum „Go Mutant“ vor. Mit Einflüssen von den Modern Lovers über 80er Punk und Psychedelic Rock bis zum 60ies Beat aus England, klingt jeder Song irgendwie anders, live sehr erfrischend und nonkonform. Seelenverwand mit den Parquet Courts, nur mit einem singenden Keith Moon an den Drums.

In under two years, SKORTS went from conception to one of the most talked about and in demand local bands in New York. Their sound has been described as many things including psych-glam, post-alt and darkwave disco. Their live shows have become a crown jewel of the NYC & Brooklyn music scene, winning them 'Our Wicked Lady's 2024 Winter Madness' and also earning them the number one spot on the 'Ohmyrockness Hardest Working Bands List of 2024'. They have received coverage from Paste, PAPER magazine and many more! The band has played just about every club in Manhattan and Brooklyn, some of which include Webster Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, a sold out Bowery Ballroom and a sold out Racket (Chelsea). With a jaw dropping live show and undeniable song writing, SKORTS continues to grab the attention of music fans from all genres and generations.

FLASYD is a punk band from New York known for their raw energy and tackling sharp social issues. Their music is fast, aggressive, and intense. Their debut LP, Always Fast, Hardly Accurate (2024), produced by Johnny T. Yerington and engineered by Grammy-winner Gus Oberg, is a 27-minute blast of riotous energy. Known for their raw and authentic live shows, FLASYD takes aim at toxic masculinity and industry norms, turning sexuality into a weapon and rebellion into anthems.

reverberation fest & little league shows are happy to welcome back both GLUE TRIP and BHUKHURAH on schokoladens stage! presale tickets available at --> https://vvk.link/3vfhfe8

GLUE TRIP is a musical project led by Brazilian musician Lucas Santa Cruz. Formed in 2013 as an experimental recording project, it was quickly invited to perform live for the first time at the Prata da Casa project (SESC Pompeia). With three albums released and viral hits like "Elbow Pain" and "La Edad del Futuro" Glue Trip has become a reference for contemporary Brazilian psychedelic music in Brazil and around the world.  Showing maturity with their album "Nada Tropical" released in July 2022, the band has been solidifying their career for a decade, increasingly incorporating their Brazilian roots into their compositions. Produced by Zé Nigro, this album features collaborations with great names in Brazilian music, including maestro Arthur Verocai, São Paulo singer YMA, and musicians Otto and Felipe S from Pernambuco.With several international tours under their belt, including sold-out shows in London and Paris on their last tour, Glue Trip is building a solid background and a steady rise. They stand out as one of the most interesting and innovative musical projects of today.

BHUKHURAH (-boo-koo-ra) is an emerging artist from Athens, Greece. His sound is an intoxicating fusion of modern and vintage aesthetics, hypnotic grooves, adhesive basslines, thunderous 808s, and psychedelic melodies that linger in the mind long after the music fades. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of artists—including Tame Impala’s dreamy psych-rock, Mk. gee’s genre-bending experiments, and the boundary- pushing innovation of Travis Scott and Tyler, the Creator—Bhukhurah creates a sonic universe that feels at once familiar and entirely new.On stage, he delivers an electrifying performance that transcends mere entertainment, pulling audiences into a kaleidoscopic experience of sound and emotion. With a unique ability to blend high-energy beats and raw vulnerability, his shows evoke an emotional spectrum that leaves listeners exhilarated and deeply connected. Whether it’s through immersive soundscapes or hard-hitting rhythms, he crafts a world where nostalgia meets innovation, and every moment feels like an unforgettable journey.Prepare to be transported as Bhukhurah brings his bold, genre-defying artistry to the festival stage—a sonic adventure you won’t want to miss.

Früher war alles besser. Alles außer CHRISTMAS, die von Jahr zu Jahr unaufhaltsamer wurden. Wenn andere Bands auftauchen und schnell wieder verbrennen, haben sich CHRISTMAS dazu entschlossen, einfach alle Arschlöcher zu überleben.
Mit Erfolg: 20 Veröffentlichungen in 14 Jahren. 550 Shows in 18
Ländern und 21 verschlissene Ex-Bandmitglieder. Der Hardcore-Zug rollt, gepanzert mit Tonnen von Kronkorken, angetrieben von alles verbrennendem Wahnsinnsidealismus (mit der Betonung auf Wahnsinn).
Immer dämonisch dem scheintoten Geist des Rock-n-Roll ins Gesicht grinsend, kurz am Abgrund der Nachpunkgeschichte vorbei und CHRISTMAS sehen dabei noch verdammt gut aus!

The queer vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists - and continue to take their aim at general vibe killers everywhere.  

The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a minute long, like “Save The Planet You Dumb Shit”, "Life Is Great You Suck" and “If You Believe in Eating Meat Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly.  The band (Joe, Ziggy Shit, Johnny Shit and Ollie Shit) have played every type of venue there is; roof tops, public toilets, opening ceremonies for North Atlantic sub sea tunnels, museums and skateparks, and have also appeared on their fair share of major festival line ups around Europe and North America.
