In the organizer's words:

The smallest dark festival in the world from Chemnitz

Yakima Jera - Synth-pop, dark wave and electronic music with a touch of 80s sound

Twin Noir - "2 Punks and a Tape Machine" - electronic monotonous sounds, expansive atmospheres and melodic moments, combined with minimalist lyrics in German

Aftershow with DJ Crossfire

Admission 20:00

Start 21:00

Yakima Jera is a duo that produces synth rhythms and dance beats with vocals and guitar. Founded in 2022 in Munich, the music can be attributed to a mixture of synth-pop, dark-wave, and electronic music with a touch of 80ies sound. Fascinated by the beauty of nature, the aesthetics of city darkness, the Bavarian Forest at night and the great emotions of people interactions, a cinematic music construct is built. A mélange of the joy of Joy Division, the poems of Patti Smith, the bleakness of Black Metal and the guitar sounds of 80s and 90s pop/punk influences the danceable dynamic sound of desire and reality.

Founded in Munich in 2022, their music can be categorized as a mixture of synth-pop, dark wave and electronic music with a hint of 80s sound. Fascinated by the beauty of nature, the aesthetics of urban darkness, the Bavarian Forest at night and the great emotions of interpersonal interactions, a cinematic musical construct is created. A melange of Joy by Joy Division, the poems of Patti Smith, the darkness of black metal and the guitar sounds of pop/punk from the 80s and 90s characterize the danceable, dynamic sound of desire and reality.

TWIN NOIR - "2 Punks and a Tape Machine"

TWIN NOIR is a post-punk/wave/EBM artist duo founded in Berlin in 2021, consisting of Cody Barcelona (vocals, electronics, guitar) and Ian Volt (vocals, bass). Their music oscillates between electronic monotonous sounds, spacey atmospheres and melodic moments, combined with minimalistic lyrics in German.

TWIN NOIR's sound is characterized by an analog tape machine, a sampler, guitars and a theremin, with which the duo creates its own mixture of punk and wave. Technoid beats, driving basslines and atmospheres played alternately by synthesizers and guitars create moments that invite you to dance, float and drift. The influences of both artists range from bands such as KRAFTWERK and DAF to the EBM and techno scene to punk and rock from the 70s to the 90s.

Live, TWIN NOIR impress with their energetic performances and danceable sound. Their show is inspired by Berlin club culture, punk and vaudeville, and aims to celebrate and manifest freedom, creativity and art. The duo first performed in Berlin in 2022 and have since played in 17 countries. TWIN NOIR toured Europe, the UK, the Balkans and Mexico, where they recorded half of their debut album in Mexico City. Back in Europe, they completed the recordings in the "Portugal Recording Studio" near Lisbon, where they also recorded their follow-up debut "2 Punks and a Tape Machine - Chapter //" in the summer of 2024.

TWIN NOIR have achieved significant milestones, including having two of their songs performed by Iggy Pop on his BBC Radio 6 show "Iggy Confidential". TWIN NOIR have been listed as one of the "50 most promising European artists" by the European music initiative "Europelive" and have performed live in over 17 countries, including at two of the biggest wave/punk festivals in Europe: the "Wave Gothic Treffen" in Germany and the "Extramuralhas Festival" in Portugal.
