Konzert: Themis // Saguru

In the organizer's words:

Free concert on the small castle square:

Themis: Themis draws his listeners to the dark side of rock music. He skillfully combines the dark with the bittersweet and emotional, combined with a large portion of queer power and punk attitude. He and his live band also cast an almost magical spell over audiences at concerts and have recently played
recently played successful tours supporting alternative rock bands such as BLACK HONEY, GIRL & GIRL and SMILE. The release of their debut album "The Heavy Door" and the subsequent headline tour were celebrated by fans and music blogs.
celebrated by fans and music blogs. Themis and his band then dedicated themselves to writing, recording and producing the new EP "Thalassa".
"Thalassa" offers a deeper look into Themis' dark and disturbing musical blend of garage rock, indie and post-punk and is reminiscent of bands such as The Kills, PJ Harvey and The Black Angels. After further live highlights, Themis and his band are currently heading into the depths of the Milberg recording studios in Stuttgart with producer Ralv Milberg to work on the follow-up - the second studio album.

Saguru: The beginning of the day. The light, the fall, the depth: Saguru writes songs that have great expansiveness. They carry the melancholy darkness, but always also the new beginnings, the outlook, the clarity and lightness. The moment after the rain. Munich-based Chris Rappel founded Saguru in 2016, drawing inspiration from heroes such as
Alex Turner, Bon Iver and Ben Howard and released his first songs. At just 28 years old, Saguru has now found the core of his own sound. A voice that radiates many more years of life than Rappel counts. The precisely crafted and colorful sound of the recordings, the combination of guitar, radiant vocals and gentle yet powerful electronica: all this makes Saguru a gem, a treasure chest. Breaking through routines, learning to deal with growing alienation, moods in a state of suspension, the vastness, running as an escape: Saguru's themes and images. Themes and images with urgency. The gathering fog in the forest at the beginning of the day. The light, the fall, the depth.
