Taby Pilgrim

+ Support: Maryam.fyi

Die Essener Rapperin, Synchronsprecherin, Sounddesignerin und Produzentin Taby Pilgrim ist bislang vor allem für clevere, humoristische Lyrics und den herausragenden Einsatz ihrer unverkennbaren Stimme bekannt. 2024 wagt sie mit ihrem zweiten Album “Nest” jedoch einen Sprung ins kalte Wasser: Auf elf Songs, überwiegend von ihr selbst produziert, nimmt sie ihre Zuhörer*innen mit in ihren Kopf und präsentiert auf eindrucksvolle Weise den Parasiten, der sich dort eingenistet hat. Gefühlsausbrüche zwischen Hypomanie und Depression eröffnen ein breites Gefühlsspektrum, das durch ebenso kontrastierende Sounds kaum noch in eine einzelne Schublade passen möchte. So ehrlich wie nie zuvor spricht Taby über Selbstzweifel aber auch übersteigertes Selbstbewusstsein, ihre Stellung als Frau in der Musikbranche und Gesellschaft sowie den Willen, sich selbst und ihre eigene Diagnose besser zu verstehen - und setzt ganz nebenbei neue Standards für nahbaren und authentischen deutschen Rap mit Händchen für fesselnde Soundwelten.

KEEP is an alternative rock band from Richmond, VA formed in 2013.They draw heavy inspiration from the shoegaze and grunge sounds of the 90’s, post-2000 indie, and add just a dash of 80’s goth and art rock sensibility. While that may sound a bit like an alphabet soup of influences, Keep’s brilliance lies in their ability to seamlessly blend myriad sounds into something that feels surpassingly cohesive. A riff may conjure Starflyer 59, Hum or Swervedriver. A melody might evoke The Cure or Cocteau Twins. The mood may call Low or Bowery Electric to mind. But while Keep may momentarily remind you of any number of artists you love, Happy In Here always feels like something unique that you’re hearing for the first time.

---

»Part of the shoegaze renaissance that is encompassing the wider musical spectrum, YEAHRS are a loud, feisty and guitar-driven crew. Building on their love for hardcore, heavy rock and dreamy shoegaze, the band recently released a new EP called Transfer.Transform, a thoroughly loud and melodic addition to the Berlin rock scene. Aside from the immediate comparisons to the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Deafheaven, the EP is dazzling mix of catchy choruses, washed-out guitars and lush harmonies.« (exberliner)

doors 19:00 - show 20:00

XTREME BLUES DOG (one man band)
Trash-blues rock n’ roll, playing the harmonica, kazoo, cigar box guitar, drums and singing (all at the same time), since 2010 this Brazilian one man band shows his dirty view of the Blues mixed up with a lot of Rock and Roll. After 17 tours in 24 countries around Australia, Europe and South America, Xtreme Blues Dog promotes his new album “Raw, Loud and Mono!”, released by the labels A-lo Records, Mandinga Records and Sinfonia de Cães.

Biography
The first album “The Return of the Blues”, recorded at home in 2010, provided the Dog’s first tour throughout Brazil and Uruguay along the masked Amazing One Man Band. The second album “Dirty Blues from the Wild South'', recorded at Caffeine Sound Studio by Luis Tissot (aka the Fabulous Gogo Boy from Alabama) was released in 2011 and followed by an European tour passing by many countries such as Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium and England. In 2012 the song “All Night Long'' was part of the compilation “Trash Blues – Old School Sudamerica’s Monobandas!” which ended up in a tour in Argentina. In 2013 the one man band went on his second Euro tour playing in many cities like Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and much more. In 2014 the album “Punk Rock and Roll a Billy Trash Blues” was released in Brazil and followed by another tour passing by 12 countries. On October 31st 2014, the dutch label Monster Mash released the 7'' vinyl compilation called “Monobanda Mash Vol. 2”, including the song “The Train'', followed by another tour in the euro winter promoting the vinyl, with concerts in Austria, Hungary, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Croatia and Macedonia. In early 2015, the Blues Dog was touring in Peru with Bang Bang Band Girl from Chile, including gigs in Lima, Trujillo and Cusco. Also this year the album called “No Rules for The Blues”, was released and provided 4 Euro and Brazilian tours in the following years (2015 - 2018). In 2019 the Blues Dog went on his first tour in Australia, playing in many places such as Melbourne, Hobart, Launceston, New Norfolk and Franklin, followed by another euro tour in a total of 77 gigs that year. In November 2019, it was released the live album ROAD RECS, a compilation of live recordings in several countries made between 2014-2019, during Xtreme Blues Dog tours around the world. In March 2021, the Split EP called “Chelo Lion and his Yellow Fingers + Xtreme Blues Dog" was released by Sinfonia de Cães label.
In 2022, the Blues Dog released his new album “Raw, Loud and Mono!” and also a split EP with the Austrian band Anstalt, followed by a six-month-tour of wild gigs around Europe. In the summer 2023, the Dog hit the road with DJ Tribalista for the “Locurama Summer Tour”, and by the end of the year he was back in Brazil for a crazy tour with Bonny Jack. In 2024, the Blues Dog is on the road again this time with Mr. Gallini from Portugal, and also for the “Locurama Tour II - La Vendetta” with Tribalista.
Stay tuned! Stay mono!

With a sinister past, Allisson Santos "Big Bull" used to play on punk/hc and metal bands, bringing with him an intense musical background. After a few years playing double bass in some country/rockabilly/blues bands in Europe, on 2019 he decided to begin his one man band, the "BIG BULL AND HIS SELFISH BAND". From that time until now he never stoped, collecting tours across Europe and Brazil spreading his Brazilian Dark a Billy!

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>

Café Chocolat, is a new music series and community building event created by Melissa Perales (M:Soundtrack, Durchlüften, Music Pool Berlin) and Batila (the Dream bus, BantuSoul Allstars). We aim at celebrating and supporting local talents and newcomer black and brown artists & DJ’s within the diaspora of Germany’s communities. Our main thesis is that when communities are supported and treated fairly they will thrive. This includes everyone from the artists on stage, to the door person or the sound engineer - We believe with more emphasis on “all of us”, we can create a more equitable event and make a contribution to our music scene. Please come out and support our efforts so we can continue this event!


Concept of the evening: The Dream Bus takes you on a musical journey performing their music (The members are from all over the world and their sound reflects this) AND jumping on an off the Bus are guests who will perform 2-3 songs each to give us a taste of their work, showcasing the amazing artists, poets, dancers and or multi-instrumentalists of the community! and we will always provide continued good music after the live show with a DJ who will bring it all together. When possible food will be available for sale outside the venue and special drinks on the menu at the bar.


Welcome to our table - the "Cafe CHOCOLAT STORE" will be available from this evening on with artists merchandise, perhaps clothing and craftwork or food. Our evening supports our community and we hope you feel welcome and join us in lifting everyone up!

Otis Mensah is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans across fields of literature and sound, exploring the aesthetic fabric of language and cadence to evoke ethereal portraits of the body, family and notions of the Black church. Drawing inspiration from a rich lineage of sampling as an approach to their poetic-sonic practice, Otis derives musicality and multidimensional text from childhood, dreaming and nature. Otis has had a diverse calibre of experience in contemporary art both as artist and curator; publishing their poetry collection Safe Metamorphosis with Prototype London, debuting at Glastonbury Music Festival, performing alongside the likes of Moor Mother, Benjamin Zephaniah and Little Simz and working with a range of galleries and festivals across Europe.

 Concerned with an Abstractionist approach to language, Otis’ practice draws vitally from the likes of Norman Lewis and Jack Whitten, examining vivid experimentation with the materiality of paint as technique and lens for approaching text. Otis’ writing exalts the materiality of words to reveal a larger emotional landscape. By queering and subverting biblical language and parable, Otis exercises magical realism in their work, muddying the waters of memory and archival material with myth and portrayals of a Black diaspora. #Poetry #Avant-garde #Hiphop #Rap #Jazz    https://otismensah.bandcamp.com

Regis Molina is an energetic saxophonist and band-leader. With his bands he also is on a quest for the spiritual values within the music. In the Cuban culture music, dance and spirituality are interconnected to each other, principles that Molina translates to thru his music: ”You can´t really separate them from each other and I think about this in my playing and writing. I first learned how to dance rather than to play music, so I guess that’s why I love to have a sense of ’dancing’ in my body while I’m playing. It helps me to connect and interact more with other subtle elements in the music. Then I try to make them all sound like mine.“

His passion and dedication to music has seen him receive several awards as well as share the stage and the studio worldwide with several renowned musicians and bands, such as Ojos de Brujo, Aloe Blacc, Jimi Tenor, Tony Allen, Chucho Valdez, Stars of Buena Vista Social Club, Afrocuban Allstars, Helene Fischer and Samy DeLuxe. https://regismolina.bandcamp.com/album/sanga-abaku

LOVNIS < Brazil / Berlin >
LOVNIS is the duo formed in 2020 by the artists Murilo Sá and Amanda Longo, who have been dedicated to create music and videos on their home-studio. Inspired by pop music from the 60's and Brazilian psychedelic rock, they have released four singles so far: 2020, Filme de Terror, Tudo Isso Eu Já Sei and Doces Conversas, all of them accompanied by music videos. The duo has been creating a particular aesthetic in their work and together they take care of all stages of the creative process, music and audiovisual production. They currently live in Berlin, where they started performing in art galleries and on the city's street music circuit, while they finalize the production of their debut album. Murilo Sá, born in Salvador, Bahia (Brazil), has released 3 solo albums: Sentido Centro (2014), Durango! (2016) and Fossanova (2018).

Neon Apples < Berlin >

Neon Apples from Berlin will make you dance, revolt, heal and love with their infectious songs of psych beat. Noisy analogue synths meet with flowy patterns of drums and baselines, sampled beats and darkly poetic vocal harmonies. Searching for something true in the basements of Forster Straße, they’re seeing in their crystal ball that 'Future's Coming' and 'we shall flee this city, flee the species forever'. But not being fooled by ideology ('Illusion'), Neon Apples will stay in their turf and continue because 'it's never been as easy to fall in love'. While the name is reminding of late 60s synth pioneers Silver Apples, influence-wise the band can also agree on BEAK>, Peaches, Tame Impala and Chemical Brothers. Each song a new deep soundscape to explore, they‘re pushing the envelope to create an organic amalgam of synth-punk, drum 'n' bass, funk, trip-hop, neo-soul, art-pop and psychedelia. Neon Apples' first album was mixed and mastered by Cico Beck (The Notwist/ Aloa Input). Their first single “Please Yourself” is released with Brainbowl Records. The forbidden fruits - Neon Apples

The Bony King Of Nowhere [bel] + Lucie Glang [folk-pop]

The Bony King of Nowhere ist mit neuer Platte zurück! Einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterließ Bram Vanparys (so der belgische Musiker bürgerlich) zuletzt 2018 mit der Veröffentlichung seines von der Kritik gefeierten Albums Silent Days und der Auszeichnung als "Bester Autor/Komponist" bei den Music Industry Awards (MIA). Am 02.02.24 veröffentlichte er sein neues, sechstes Album Everybody Knows.

https://www.instagram.com/thebonykingofnowheremusic/

Lucie Glang verbindet Folk-Pop mit nordischen Einflüssen und schafft introspektive, ehrliche Texte vor einem vielfältigen musikalischen Hintergrund. Geboren in Deutschland, lebte sie in verschiedenen Ländern und erkundete die Musik als eine beständige Heimat und Möglichkeit, zurück ins Hier und Jetzt in einer schnellen, lauten und elektronischen Welt zu
finden. Ihre Songs fanden dabei bereits Unterstützung von Amazon und Apple Music in diversen Editorischen Playlists. Nach mehreren Festival Slots und Support Shows kehrt sie 2024 zurück mit einer Tour durch Deutschland, Dänemark und Schweden, zur Veröffentlichung ihrer Debüt EP, die in Island,
Amerika und Dänemark aufgenommen wurde.

Marta Collica 

Die sizilianische Singer-Songwriterin, Sängerin und Multi-Instrumentalistin Marta Collica ist ein Hauptmitglied der Band des britischen Komponisten und Produzenten John Parish (Pj Harvey, Eels, Aldous Harding etc.) und anderer internationaler Musikkollektive wie Songs with Other Strangers (u.a. mit dem Belgier Stef Kamil Carlens von dEUS, dem australischen Co-Autor Hugo Race und dem sizilianischen Songwriter Cesare Basile). Marta Collica lebt in Berlin, wo sie ihre Musik schreibt und produziert. 

Ihre verträumte Stimme klingt gleichzeitig soft und doch kraftvoll, und sie spielt Gitarre, Keyboards und Perkussion mit einem originellen Stil, der Blues, Trip Hop und amerikanischen Lo-Fi zu crepuskularen Klangtexturen verwebt - scheinbar empfindlich, aber auch irgendwie verzerrt - und durch ihre Kompositionen cineastische und subtil psychedelische Atmosphären evoziert.
