BODY MAINTENANCE from Melbourne merges melodic post-punk with elements of stark goth adversity. With nods to The Chameleons and Second Empire Justice era Blitz, these songs are evocative of the anxiously bleak yet anthemic sounds of early 80’s Manchester, delivered in a contemporary Australian context.
Berlin's MISERE play dark Post Punk meets Goth, right out of the ADK camp! Fans of Christian Death and AUS take note!!

THE HOMESICK are Elias Elgersma (Vocals, Effects), Jaap van der Velde (Vocals, Effects) and Erik Woudwijk (Drums). The Homesick fuses post-punk rhythms with melodic whimsical pop into an experimental blend of great songs.
The band has been around since their first EP Television from 2013 and released their debut album Youth Hunt (Subroutine) in 2017. Hailing from the backwater Frisian municipality of Dokkum, the band shrewdly courted spirituality under their own nonconformist whims. The album played with this ambiguity as they incorporated this in their sound through the mixing of dark post-punk with sure-fire pop earworms. Their second album The Big Exercise (SubPop) from 2020 inverses this sound, second-guessing their core chemistry as a live unit. Where the debut album incorporates vocals drenched in reverb, warped synths and distorted guitars, the Big Excercise leaves a hint of romanticism through the baroque elements such as piano, acoustic guitar, percussion and clarinet.
Shortly after the release of The Big Exercise the global pandemic made The Homesick cancel all their touring and promo plans for 2020. As the band members found themselves stuck at their homes, they individually started to explore new musical directions. Guitar and bass were dropped as Elias and Jaap searched for other sounds playing keys, sample boxes and more new rhythmic instruments. “We wanted to come up with something that we can dance to”, Jaap says. “After these last two years we very much felt like this is what we need now.”
The new songs are unmistakably The Homesick and at the same time like you've never heard them before. Recording took place early summer 2022 in GAM Studios in The Belgium Ardennes and new music will be released in 2023.

Flawless Issues (ausverkauft)

Flawless Issues ist in der Szene schon längst kein Newcomer mehr. Der gebürtige Stuttgarter gehört mit seinem nostalgischen 80er-Jahre Synth-Pop und Surfgoth-Sound neben Künstern wie Levin Goes Lightly oder Edwin Rosen zur „Neuen Neue Deutsche Welle“, die gerade durch die Musiklandschaft rollt. Thematisch beschäftigt sich der Solokünstler vorrangig mit abgründigen menschlichen Emotionen und dem Alleinsein – quasi die Romantisierung der Melancholie. Umwoben von Instrumenten durchbricht er die eigene Schallmauer aus nostalgischen Retro Wave mit seinem düsteren Gesang.

DIE REGIERUNG (hh).
Nur die Regierung weiss, wie es geht.
Nur die Regierung kann uns helfen.
Nur die Regierung kennt den Weg hier raus.
Nur die Regierung bringt am 25.08.2023 ein neues Album bei Staatsakt heraus, das NUR heisst.
Als ersten Vorboten schicken Tilman Rossmy und seine Band diese Woche eine erste Single in die Umlaufbahn: "Wenn die Liebe ruft". Produziert wurde das neue Album nur von Olaf O.P.A.L.
In ausgewählten Städten spielt Die Regierung zur Album-Veröffentlichung ein paar Shows nur für uns! Die Vorfreude ist natürlich gross. Nur ein Abend mit Die Regierung verspricht am Ende ein toller Abend mit die Regierung zu werden. Und sowieso: nur die Liebe zählt. Also die zur Regierung.
---
»Die Regierung ist wieder da! Nach“Raus” und “Was” ist “Da” das dritteAlbum innerhalb von vier Jahren.Tilman Rossmy hat offenbar NeilYoung’sche Output-Qualitäten. Wenn er mit seinen Mitmusikern den Proberaum betritt, entstehen sofort neue Songs.Wobei auf “Da” auch hörbar viel gejammt und experimentiert wurde. Es gibt Elemente aus Krautrock und Dub. Aber auch bewährte Stones-Riffs und erwachsene Schrammelmusik. Mit sehr schönen Arrangements garniert. Klar,die Regierung ist immer auch Pop. Textlich scheint “Da” von Transzendenz zu handeln. Vom Ende des irdischen Lebens und von dem, was danach kommt. Oder auch nicht. Von der mitunter rauschhaften Suche nach dem eigenen Selbst und dem Konsum von Poesie, Musik und Philosophie.
Die Regierung lassen auf „Da“ sprichwörtlich die Gans für unsraus. Sie lassen sie fliegen.
Und wieder einmal hat Jakobus Siebels (Ja König Ja) das Cover gemalt. Und Norman Nietzsche denMix besorgt. 10 Songs. 10 Themen. 10 gesungene Thesen bietet diesesAlbum. Vom philosophischen Treppenwitz bis zu tiefer, tiefer Liebe betreten wir musikalische Paralleluniversen von The Dream Syndicate bis King Tubby.«

Verstärker < Kentucky , USA >
Verstärker is a sound and a vision united in the quest for motorik space exploration.
Comprised of sonic cosmonauts J. Gibson (bass/synth/recording), J. Norfleet (drums), and J. Vitatoe (guitar/effects/visuals), the band coalesced in 2012 as a way of exploring their mutual love of music. Honed on the sounds of krautrock, post-punk, no wave, and drone, Verstärker stand ready for lift-off into the ether.
Their debut record - Aktivitat - was recorded in their own Cosmere Studio throughout 2015 and released on their own imprint. SpaceLab Records. As critic Renato Malizia of The Blog That Celebrates Itself states, Aktivität is "forty-five minutes (that) lead you to hypnotic terrain, extra sensory sensations, cosmic spaces with repetitions, drones and loops in the service of the anti-song."
Re-released by Tonzonen Records in 2018, the clear vinyl LP edition of Aktivität quIckly sold out. It was soon followed by a second edition on transparent red.
Since then, Verstärker has made numerous compilation appearances including Fuzz Club Records' Reverb Conspiracy Volume 6 and the Psych Against Cancer benefit compilation.
Known for their kinetic live performances, Verstärker has shared the stage with such artists as The Telescopes, Camera, Majeure, Parlour, among others.
Now signed to Fuzz Club Records, Verstärker will release their new record - Jenseits - in the Fall of 2023.
"To escape from the common space, Verstärker is the solution."-TBTCI.

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" (17
million views on Youtube) 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.

VITOR NOAH
...Vitor Noah is a Brazilian-born classical guitarist currently based in Berlin. His first musical experiences were with the electric bass, as founder member of the stoner rock band "Hellbenders", with whom he recorded the band's first album.
Vitor has participated in various music festivals and seminars, working with leading guitarists such as David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Pepe Romero, Judicael Perroy, Zoran Dukic, Tillman Hoppstock, Pablo Márquez, Eduardo Isaac, Fábio Zanon, Paul Galbraith, Roberto Aussel, Eduardo Fernández and Paul O’Dette. He will open this night of Brazilian music with a solo guitar performance that will probably leave the audiences mouths wide open.
