Der AStA-Arbeitsbereich für Kultur präsentiert:

ENDSTATION SANIFAIR aus Mainz/Stuttgart sind drei eigentlich eher stille Mittzwanziger, die auf der Bühne den inneren Lärm mit voller Wucht nach außen kehren. Heraus kommt eine hüpfbare Mischung aus Post-Punk, Shoegaze und Grunge – Apokalypse, aber mit Konfetti.
Johannes (Schlagzeug), Jelena (Gitarre/Gesang) und Viktor (Bass/Gesang) haben sich 2024 zu Endstation Sanifair formiert und schreiben seitdem zusammen Songs mit deutschsprachigen Texten. Im Sommer wird endlich die Debüt-EP von Endstation Sanifair erscheinen.

Mit am Start: BISTRO TORNADO aus Wiesbaden. Vier Köpfe, die sich nicht nur dem Strom widersetzen, sondern ihn mit einem Blitzschlag in eine völlig neue Richtung zogen. Tornadorock – ein Genre, das die Welt nicht kommen sah.
Und auch wenn die Welt stillsteht, dreht sich der Bistro Tornado weiter – von Club zu Club, von Stadt zu Stadt, mit einer Message: Wenn du es nicht hören kannst, dann musst du es fühlen.

Nachdem ihr Tourtermin 2023 leider verschoben werden musste, kommt die Band aus Montreal endlich ins Kulturcafe. THE LAST MILE are relentless. They’re a hardcore punk band at their core with a vicious intensity and sing-alongs that can captivate a room full of people. They have an infectious
energy that they carry with them on and off the stage that has resonated with people across the globe.
They are often considered too punk for the hardcore kids or too hardcore for the punks until you see them live. Proving themselves onstage time and time again, while touring with the likes of Title Fight, Comeback Kid, and Satanic Surfers and sharing the stage with bands like NOFX, Petrol Girls, Iron Chic, and La Armada. They’ve played festivals in the US and
Europe such as FEST, Obenuse, Rhinos Feroce, Bearded Punk Fest, and more.
With the release of their second full length, Holding On To Hope, collectively released on Thousand islands Records and Pavones Records, the band are moving forward and
intensifying their sound.

Als Support spielen CITY SPEAK aus Mainz/Wiesbaden: In irgendeinem Lockdown gegründet ist im August 2024 das Debütalbum „Holding Water“ auf LP/CD bei Shield Recordings (NL), Snappy Little Numbers (US), Cat’s Claw Records (UK) und Keep it a Secret Records (Deutschland) erschienen.
Thematisch beschäftigt sich das Trio gerne mit leichter Kost (Patriarchat, Obrigkeitshörigkeit, Ausbeutung durch multinationale Konzerne), stellt aber auch die schweren, wichtigen Fragen (Ananas auf Pizza – ja oder nein?) und packt das Ganze in Songs, die nach „‘77er Punk mit einer Prise TSOL“ (Torben Müller, Musikologe) klingen.

I've put on numerous shows for over the years but nothing will ever come close to their 25th anniversary show in Athens this Saturday. It was the perfect setting to finally see one of their hometown shows with a whopping 44 (or 45?) songs. So good.

So I've now had a day and a half to recover from the awesomeness that was 14 Years of Keep it a Secret on Saturday. This show just had everything and more: a great crowd, an excited vibe all through the night, good talks, surprise visits from far-away friends, great bands, spontaneous karaoke, and a pineapple in the moshpit. In short: it was purrfect.
Thanks to Black Square, , and especially for making this anniversary show an unforgettable one.

Der AStA-Arbeitsbereich für Kultur präsentiert:

JENNY DON'T & THE SPURS sind international bekannte Western-Rebel-Cowboy-Punks aus dem legendären und einflussreichen Rock'n'Roll-Untergrund von Portland, Oregon.
Nach dem tragischen Tod von Schlagzeuger Sam Henry (WIPERS) besteht die Band aus Sängerin Jenny Don't (Don't, Ladies Of The Night), Kelly Haliburton (P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., Pierced Arrows, Defiance etc.) und Dean Miles (Rancid Vat).

Die sonst eher aus Punkrock- und Garage-Zusammenhängen bekannten Leute huldigen hier alten, klassischen Country- und Protestsängern aus den 1940er und 50er Jahren wie Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams Sr. oder Loretta Lynne. Musik aus einer Ära, in der die Grenzen zwischen Rock'n'Roll und Country noch verschwommen waren und in der Musiker wie Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash und Carl Perkins zusammen touren konnten, ohne dass jemand mit der Wimper zuckte.

Auch mit neuem Line-up und nach unzähligen Shows in den USA, Europa und Australien sind die Intensität und Energie ihres Livesets ein Muss für alle, die temperamentvolle, von Garage inspirierte Country-Musik mögen, die mit Aufrichtigkeit und Überzeugung gespielt wird.

EAMON MCGRATH is a Toronto-based musician with a 15+ year touring history of Canada, the UK, the USA, Europe, Mexico and Japan. He has released over 25 albums, written 2 books, scored 2 feature films, and has toured the world relentlessly since 2007, cultivating an international audience and committed, loyal network of fans. His fiercely DIY approach has garnered him respect and admiration in both the indie rock and folk communities, as he effortlessly bridges a gap between both genres, composing heartbreakingly beautiful songs that are performed with an honest, intense energy on stages worldwide.

Tracked by McGrath alone in Windsor, ON, and compiled from songs composed during a 10-month world tour in support of Bells of Hope, A Dizzying Lust features McGrath channeling the frontier spirit of a folk singer alone on the road with an acoustic guitar. McGrath’s trademark notoriety as a savage rocker is traded in for a subtle minimalism and focused attention to the lyrics
