25 Jahre DOG COMPOUND + Special Guest THE PINPRICKS

In the organizer's words:

Enter the world of Dog Compound, where the music is wild and the fun never ends! This crazy band from Kiel was born in 2000 and since then they have been spreading chaos on stage and in the hearts of their fans.
With their albums "Elixir" and "Listen and Repeat", they have blurred the boundaries between post-grunge and punk rock - sometimes so much so that even they no longer know which genre they are playing. But who needs pigeonholing when you can have a good time?

Dog Compound are known for their explosive live performances, where the audience has as much fun as the band themselves - especially when the bassist gets tangled up in his own guitar cables or the drummer accidentally flings his sticks into the audience.

If you're looking for a band that will make you laugh, make your ears ring and rock your worries away, then Dog Compound is the band for you. So grab your goggles and get ready for a wild ride!

THE PINPRINCKS

On their programmatically titled album debut "This Stuff Is Poison", The Pinpricks offer a joyful, unbelievably oppressive blast. Punk and garage rock, indie and a "touch of 80s wave", rough heavy moments and a catchy firework of hooks are blended into songs that, once heard, will not be forgotten in a hurry. Because The Pinpricks, who - as you might think given the internationality of this record - come neither from London nor New York, but from Kiel in northern Germany, have combined all their strengths and made a record that masterfully balances on the fine line between "contemporary" and "timeless".

The Pinpricks were a permanent trio for a long time, but now they see themselves as a duo that can rely on permanent drummers for live concerts. The duo consists of singer/guitarist Ronja Kaminsky and her bass-playing partner Nils Degenhardt and was founded in 2018. Since then, they have released three EPs, "Hunger" (2018), "Bait" (2020) and "Rituals" (2021), whose songs currently have over 350,000 streams on Spotify and more than 300,000 plays on YouTube. They have played well over 100 shows so far, from small club concerts to gigs at Wacken Open Air and the Open Flair Festival; they have shared the stage with the likes of Mando Diao and Thundermother; they have been invited to podcasts from Boston to Los Angeles, Egypt to Portugal and - especially when you consider that the band has organized and promoted everything themselves so far - can already look back on an astonishingly international fan base.
