The Strange Encounters (Berlin)
 
„An adventurous mixture of jangly Folk, Blues and Rock ‚n' Roll from the psychedelic heart of Berlin." Based on the compositions and close harmony vocals of singer/songwriters GUIDO KREUTZMÜLLER and JOE ARMSTRONG, THE STRANGE ENCOUNTERS take you on a trip with songs shining with pure beauty and craftsmanship. At the LO FI LOUNGE at SCHOKOLADEN the band will play songs from their debut album ALL IN THE MIND, including debut single RECOGNIZE. Produced by Thomas Wosnitza and released on French label PORTS OF CALL MUSIC and South African label SUBJANGLE, this record squares the circle. In the respectable experiment of combining jangly Folk Pop tradition and bluesy Rock ‚n' Roll with psychedelic soundscapes and „artfremd" improvisations, THE STRANGE ENCOUNTERS succeed in a seemingly effortless way. An album for the big screen: cohesive, surprising, multilayered. 

"Bursting with harmony, melody and underlining the sheer joy that you can provide." 

I Don't Hear A Single, England

"A 4.5-minute masterwork of shimmering psych-pop, 'Recognize' is an impressive hint at what's in store on the album 'All In The Mind'" 
Skylight Magazine, Greece

The Strange Encounters have crafted an album that stirs the melodic breath of the Beatles, R.E.M., the Byrds, the Posies ... into their warm addictive sound that flows with the underground waters of the '70s clever acoustic rock (and everything else) perfect current.

Lutzilla
Mehr Post als Punk. Rarer Un-Sinn. Eifrig. Subversiv. Go with the flow und ab dagegen! In einem Kreuzberger Proberaum funkt es gewaltig zwischen den langjährigen Band-Musikanten Carola, Uli und Lutz – kurz darauf erblickt "Lutzilla" das Licht der Band-Welt. Im November 2022 erscheint die erste EP "First we tape Manhattan" mit 8 Songs als Tape und online bei John Steam Records. Eingespielt im Probekeller; aufgenommen & abgemischt von Uli Albers; Master: Nils Rech.

Tickets: https://vvk.link/3k0smb4

HOWRAH
is here again with Ends and Means, their third album is now a reality. Ends and Means takes us on a completely new adventure. This album has fast paced songs and is more coherent than before, without losing its edge. As always, HOWRAH operates at a consistently high level, and with E & M, they deliver another set of powerful blows that you’ll gladly take.

Alienbaby Collective is the solo-project of guitarist Liú Mottes, (currently playing with Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys). Using mainly guitar and vocals she moves between songs and improvisations stitching them together with textures, short loops and stardust. Expect a set full of moody drones and sound collages, soft words and waves of tender noise.

thirsty & miserable
Space Siren (Independent Noise-Pop, Amsterdam) + Ur! Geller (Beautiful Weirdo, hh, us, fr)
Event Bild
doors 19:00 - show 20:00

Layered guitars and a sweet succulent voice pull you in and spit you out – gently. Indie foursome Space Siren is moody without being too heavy, and catchy without being too poppy. Their songs sound like they know where they’re going, but they’ll never let you in on the secret. They have that forward drive every band should have: the sound of needing to make music, not just wanting to.

Freitag 27.12. 19:00 Uhr Musik
Punkfilmfest Berlin Booking
Flynotes (stoner, psychedelic rock, post-rock) + Menk (psychedelic rock, krautrock) presented by Crunchtapes + Punkfilmfest Booking
Tickets

Flynotes
Flynotes is an instrumental rock band formed in 2010. What the trio brings is an instrumental mixture of different yet closely related styles and sub-genres such as Doom Metal, Stoner, Psychedelic Rock, Post-Rock and Progressive. Guitar-based sound done by extremely heavy electric guitar riffs and monumental leads. The melodies are supported by a truly fantastic rhythm section which includes hypnotic bass lines and monumental drum patterns.

 

Menk

Menk set out with the aim of taking the listener on the deepest of journeys — music made with no comprises — to create a pure spiritual experience, like seeing sunshine through a rainy cloud. This is the main connector of the songs Menk have created as they take you on trips from darkness to light. Exploring textures, never standing still, new sounds and how instruments connect with each other, how harmonics complement each other, how songs change each other is the prism from which Menk views music and also the world.
