UNDERGROUND DISCO and LIVE CONCERT VIBRAVOID

CREAMCHEESE Party- Düsseldorf between intoxication and rebellion

Bands such as Kraftwerk, NEU!, Die Toten Hosen and Warlock are today associated with the great exports of the Rhine metropolis. However, the background to its meteoric rise to become the center of the international music and art scene lies, like the unrecovered Rhine gold, in the shadow of its great successes. The fact that and how Düsseldorf in particular was able to become one of the cradles of modern pop culture due to an excess of subcultural offerings in the 1970s has still not been sufficiently and conclusively researched. However, a look at Düsseldorf's club scene, hotspots and meeting places now at least paints a picture that allows the history to be experienced at first hand and makes the connections understandable. The nucleus of all this can be found in Europe's first modern discotheque, the CREAMCHEESE in the heart of Düsseldorf's old town.

Opened in 1967, CREACMHEESE is not only Europe's first modern discotheque, the hub of the global music and art scene, the birthplace of German hippie culture, stroboscope and kraut rock, but is also still a living object. Names such as Kraftwerk, Joseph Beuys, NEU!, Gerhard Richter, CAN, Andy Warhol, Marius Müller Westernhagen and Frank Zappa go hand in hand with the innovative radiance of a unique phenomenon.

And because CREAMCHEESE has always loved everyone, there is now a very special event - one that takes CREAMCHEESE beyond small-minded local patriotism to the beautiful neighboring city of Cologne on the Rhine for the first time in almost 60 years. Although it was presented at the Documenta in Kassel in 1968 or recently installed as a replica in the Düsseldorf Kunstpalast for almost 2 million euros, the CREAMCHEESE is not a dusty work of art or a relic of the past.

The opposite is the intoxicating reality!

It truly is a summit meeting of club giants when CREAMCHEESE makes a guest appearance at the magnificent BLUE SHELL on 24 May with a unique program and transports the acidic spirit of the hippie communes back to the center of sensual pleasures for one evening.

VIBRAVOID

35 years of Maximum Void Vibration

Growing up between Ratinger Hof, Creamcheese and Kunstakademie, founded in 1988 as Lightshow Society Düsseldorf

and formed as Vibravoid in 1990, the Düsseldorf band is Germany's oldest active neo-psychedelic band, the inventor of neo-kraut rock and an initiator of today's vinyl boom.

initiator of today's vinyl boom.

Vibravoid is a unique phenomenon. Vibravoid stand in the tradition of the first European psychedelic scene, which started in 1966 in the music metropolis of Düsseldorf and was to change the world - underground that was so underground that it is completely unknown even to the experts and yet still shapes the trends today! As children of the hippie era, Vibravoid belongs to the only generation of teenagers who were able to save their parents' psychedelic, kraut rock, fuzz effects and vinyl records from being thrown away in the 1980s.

Vibravoid thus occupies a unique and exceptional position within the German music scene. As with the predecessors of the first Kraut Rock wave, the Vibravoid sound was more popular abroad, with the band playing more often in London, Rome, Athens and Helsinki than in Hamburg or Munich. The debut album "2001" was released in the first repress for the Japanese market.

Nevertheless, Vibravoid also set new impulses in their hometown; in 2000, the "2001" record release party in the legendary new building of the Ratinger Hof was the first new rock concert there after 10 years of techno.
