Mangel Labelnight: Pigeon / Rehash / Noj

In the organizer's words:

ritus presents a night full of Mangel! Pigeon, Rehash and Noj live at Ratinger Hof, Düsseldorf.

::
Pigeon
It's already 3 years Berlin-based band Pigeon released their self-titled debut LP and shortly after the Bug EP but also hard to believe they found the time to get together with all the involvement in other projects like Liiek, Ostseetraum, Benzin or or or. The 10 new songs on Deny All Knowledge Of Complicity are dry, restive and full of guitar feedback. Pigeon are a contemporary version of post-punk heroes Wire and New Zealand's noiserock band The Gordons.

Rehash
When even the internet knows nothing! By chance I stumbled across the Belgian band Rehash, who have released exactly three songs so far (most streamed song: 15,000 plays). Their post-punk is obviously inspired by the Düsseldorf 'Ratinger Hof' scene, sings in German and doesn't skimp on clichés in the use of words: Autobahn! Panic! Bauhaus!

Noj
The Berlin band Noj are dark in every respect. Their debut album "Waxing Moon" features deep scratched bass and electric guitars, a sepulchral voice and ghostly noises.
Musically, one is reminded of dark pop figures such as Joy Divison, The Jesus Lizard or Nine Inch Nails, lyrically, one also descends into the underworlds, there is talk of traces of blood in a "Room of Despair" ("Forgotten Realms"), one writhes in "Spirals of Inner Dialogue" ("Spirals"), and the title track reads: "[Voices] Drive me to the End of Night/ Keep moving in Slow Gravity". If you like darkwave and noise rock, this quartet is the right choice.
