Admission: 20:00, start: 20:30
CURSES - Romantic Post-Punk & Body Music from Berlin. Luca Venezia (vocals and guitar) and Dame Bonnet (bass) bring Curses "live" on stage and create the connection between the dark-melancholic pop of the 1980s and the DIY energy of early E.B.M..
After two studio albums with Dischi Autunno, Luca Venezia aka Curses has also released a limited edition LP with Parisian fashion label Saint Laurent and contributed original music for advertising campaigns by Dior and Raf Simons/Calvin Klein.
His new album "Another Heaven" was released in October 2024 on the legendary synthesizer label Italians Do It Better by Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Desire & Glass Candy, among others). It is characterized by Curses' unmistakable style - ghostly guitar sounds and haunting vocals.
DAS KINN - With his first full length album "Ruinenkampf" on the Hamburg quality label Bureau B, Das Kinn embarks on a musical tour de force through the ruins of our time. Using kickboxing phonetics and an electronic armada, it leads us through haunting soundscapes somewhere between DAF, the Kosmische Kurieren and Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel. Beats on full blast. Bones rattle. The organ plays. Warm synthlines played by cold hands. A saxophone ponders the after. Hymns for the demolition. Music for a solemn demise.
For almost two decades, sound activist Toben Piel has been sending out knocking signs and signal sounds in various constellations from the catacombs around the Frankfurt bank towers.
As part of the music performance duo Les Trucs, as co-operator of the tape label MMODEMM and with works for theater and radio.
