Brigitte Calls Me Baby

Admission: 19:00
Start: 20:00

Between melancholy and hope, between nostalgic time travel and modern coolness: Brigitte Calls Me Baby have created their very own sound in the retro-pop cosmos - full of pathos, style and a voice that gets under your skin. This voice belongs to Wes Leavins, the lead singer, songwriter and founder of the band. Growing up in a small Texas town, he was influenced by both the emotional depth of Roy Orbison and the indie sound of the Strokes. In 2016, he moved to Chicago, where he quickly found like-minded people in the local music scene. Together with guitarists Jack Fluegel and Trevor Lynch, bassist Devin Wessels and drummer Jeremy Benshish, Brigitte Calls Me Baby was born - the name is a reference to the French film icon Brigitte Bardot. They quickly developed their special sound: elaborate arrangements, bittersweet romance, the nonchalance of indie rock and the yearning elegance of retro pop, but never kitschy or repetitive. At the center is Leavin's unmistakable voice, which sounds like an echo from another time. Fittingly, while working on Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" film, Leavins met Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb, who became an important companion to Brigitte Calls Me Baby and produced with them at the legendary RCA Studios in Nashville. After their first single "Eddie My Love" (2023), they caused a stir in early 2024 with their debut EP "This House Is Made Of Corners", an atmospheric journey through introspective soundscapes, nervous guitar pop and retro-futuristic melancholy. In August 2024, the band released their first album "The Future Is Our Way Out", which delighted fans and critics alike. Brigitte Calls Me Baby are also in a class of their own live. They already caused a sensation at the renowned SXSW 2023, as well as supporting Muse, The Strokes and The Last Dinner Party. Their concerts are emotional journeys through time, carried by Wes Leavins' charismatic presence and the band's powerful interplay. This summer the time has finally come and Brigitte Calls Me Baby are coming to Berlin! If you want to feel the magic that only really good pop music can unfold, you shouldn't miss this concert.
