Parklücke Festival: LISL | Support: Neykid

In the organizer's words:

LISL writes intimate yet huge indie anthems and sounds like the English Riviera or a road trip from Portland to New York. But LISL is actually one of the best-kept secrets of the German music scene, her name is Lisa-Marie Kämpf and she comes from Würzburg. That sounds local and homely at first, because a "Lisl" flirts with Bavarian local color: the abbreviation conjures up an image of a cheeky, unpretentious girl. The musical alter ego, however, is a LISL who brings her soul and world of thoughts to the public via deep, English lyrics that are gen-Z-relatable. Her contemporary indie rock is in the tradition of Liz Phair, Ani DiFranco, Lucinda Williams or That Dog, who sowed guitar-saturated seeds in the 90s - and today ties in with Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, BECKS, Florence Armand, mxmtoon or Julien Baker.

It is about mental health, existential and future fears, social and everyday struggles and about her own head, with which, as she says herself, she is "in a lot of communication". With the help of notes and voice memos, she records the sometimes strong feelings and thoughts and then turns them into song lyrics. The LISL combination of warm voice, powerful instrumentation and sensitive lyrics gives her world of thoughts the stage to perfectly capture her Gen-Z experiences and universal coming of age: blunt, direct and ready to show her vulnerable and private side.
