BAITS + RADICAL KITTEN

In the organizer's words:

Slow Club Freiburg presents: BAITS + RADICAL KITTEN

BAITS
Are you ready to be swept away by the excessive power of Vienna's hottest rock band? BAITS deliver a flood of hooks, creating a listening experience that leaves the audience enthralled and wanting more.

Carried by the dynamic, emotionally charged vocals of Sonja Maier, BAITS' sound is a perfect blend of anger and melancholy, seamlessly complemented by the wild (and sometimes delicately playful) guitar parts of Christopher Herndler. The rhythm section, completed by the powerful duo Fazo and bassist Bernd Faszl, pulsates with raw energy reminiscent of iconic bands like the Pixies, Breeders and a touch of Jay Reatard.

However, BAITS not only capture the sweaty, unbridled energy of 90s indie bands, but also venture fearlessly into the world of pop, creating a unique sound that is as infectious as it is rebellious. Their latest singles, including "Who are You", "Stuck AF" and "Craves" have secured coveted spots on Spotify editorial playlists, become fixtures on Austrian FM4 radio and spent several weeks in the Austrian indie charts.

As a live act, BAITS are an undeniable force of nature not to be missed, as they have proven at over 100 live gigs in recent years. Their 2nd album, which will be released in March 2024 on Noise Appeal Records, promises to be a sonic journey that pushes the boundaries of pop with a generous helping of snot and filth.

RADICAL KITTEN
(rrriot post-punk meow)
Patriarchy Fuck off!
Radical Kitten are the hottest kittens in the south of France.
A power trio that doesn't care about labels: post-punk groove energy, post-punk groove energy, no-wave noise madness, queer rrrriot chants, the band is all of these things at once, at a pace close to hardcore, without the codes.
We jump, we sweat, we scream out our rage against patriarchy, discrimination against gender minorities, against police and social violence and all the rest:
It's a celebration of empowerment and self-defense.

Cocaïne Piss, Duchess Says, Sonic Youth, ESG come to mind, but the band has perfectly integrated all their influences and created their own sound.
With over 150 dates in France and Europe, the band's live performances are equally impressive their sincere energy and delicate violence. In the studio, they have recorded two albums, 'Silence is Violence' (2020) and 'Uppercat' (2024), which the French and international and international noise punk scene.
The kittens have no intention of letting out their claws and are currently preparing their 3rd album, due for release at the end of 2025.
A unique project that doesn't try to "look like" but cares about values and empowerment.
That's what makes these kittens so special.
