Event Details

In 2007 they were a classic insider tip. A few initiates in the Upper Bavarian Chiemgau called themselves the name LaBrassBanda. And raved about this incredible band that would mix Bavarian folk music with ska-punk, techno, reggae and brass. The concerts would be pure energy. Those who were there told with shining eyes about sweaty nights. And from these guys who would all come on stage barefoot. „We came from the music academy and we wanted to get out of the concert halls and into the clubs and play in front of young people,“ recalls band founder Stefan Dettl. „That was a lot more fun!“ The fact that LaBrassBanda sometimes fills the largest halls, performing at an international festival and making it into the top 3 of the charts, you might have guessed at the time – but who thinks about the future when the moment is as great as a small club gig with the water off the walls drips and everyone has a blissful grin on their faces – in front of and on stage. What should come after more than ten years of LaBrassBanda? The answer is: a lot! An almost completely sold out „Around The World Tour“ for example or demolition in Switzerland! After a big party in 2017 at Dynamo Zurich, LaBrassBanda is once again called „Grüezi Züri“. Spring will be danced on April 2nd in the X-TRA. when the moment is as great as a small club gig in which the water drips from the walls and everyone has a blissful grin on their faces – in front of and on stage.

02Apr21:0000:00NOVA TWINS

Event Details

The strong bass guitar of Georgia South and the incisive vocals of Amy Love are the driving force of Nova Twins. Bringing their self-penned songs to life and refusing to conform to any template, the duo fuse bass-heavy, grimey-punk and rock. Taking inspiration from all sonic corners via bands like NERD, The Prodigy, Missy Elliott, Princess Nokia and Rage Against The Machine, the best friends have captured fans with their high-octane approach.

When you’ve never seen yourself in music, there’s an opportunity to build something from nothing. To make tracks that don’t sound directly like anyone else’s. „We had towork out our identities within music because we never had a reflection,“ says Georgia South, Nova Twins bassist. “This is a 21st-century take on rock. It’s so many things. ”Singer and guitarist Amy Love adds with a smile,“ It’s the NOVA sound. ”

The duo are currently wrapping up their debut album with renowned producer Jim Abbiss (Adele, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys) due for release at the start of 2020. It follows their latest and lauded singles Devil’s Face ‚and‘ Vortex ‚.

Over the summer, the band turned heads preforming to packed-out tents during the busy festival season, stopping at Open Air Gampel, Boomtown, Download, Hellfest and Nova Rock to name a few. Following the success of support slots with Wolf Alice and Ho99o9, the duo were invited on tour with Prophets Of Rage, smashing it every night across Europe. Soon after, they were off supporting legends, Skunk Anansie. Nova Twins are also the featured artists in the current Dr Martens A / W campaign – you may have already spotted them on posters and in stores around the world!

Amy and Georgia use their platform to champion inclusivity and diversity with their high-octane, genre-warping approach. The Nova Twins modus operandi is to take socio-political experiences from their day-to-day and turn it into something their fans can lose themselves in. Effortlessly cool in not only their musical output, but in every element of what they do creatively as artists. From designing and making their own outfits for all videos, photoshoots and stage wear to the art direction on their videos. Something that clearly caught the eye of Dr. Martens, making the girls the face of their current A / W campaign – you may have already spotted them on posters and in stores around the world!

15 years „The Perfection“ of distorted guitars, hymnic melodies and catchy lyrics

Madsen played her first major concert at the Knaack Club in Berlin on November 4, 2004. The traditional location has long ceased to exist, but the Wendlanders have been rocking the stages of the republic for 15 years now. And because celebrations are supposed to be celebrated as they fall, the boys threw a decent party in late autumn. Unfortunately, everyone who did not have tickets for the big anniversary show on November 29, 2019 in the Hamburg sports hall could not celebrate. The concert was completely sold out in no time. But Madsen would not be the sympathetic and successful band if they hadn’t always pulled both legs for their fans. It was therefore quickly clear to the quartet: „For everyone who looks into the tube in November, we have to do more!“ No sooner said than planned:

Founded in 2004 in the tranquil Prießeck in Wendland, the three Madsen brothers Johannes (guitar), Sebastian (vocals, guitar, lyrics) and Sascha (drums) and their friend Niko Maurer (bass) quickly became one of the most successful by the local heroes German rock bands. They have released eight albums, the last seven of which made it into the top 10 of the German charts. No one counted exactly how many hundreds of shows they played at that time. Madsen was too busy filling the large halls and playing as a permanent guest at all German festivals.

With their unprecedented mix of distorted guitars, hymnic melodies and catchy German lyrics without any embarrassment, the band positioned itself from the start in its own section, in which there is only Madsen and in which Madsen is allowed to do everything. For this they are loved by their fans, to whom Madsen would now like to give something back: „We want to thank our fans with every show on our anniversary tour, toast to the past 15 years and are really looking forward to celebrating with them . “ Madsen has very special guests on tour: Nada Surf will take over the preliminary program for the anniversary tour.

SENSU (CH) & TOMPAUL (CH)

Sensu is used to swimming against the tide: As a teenager, she was active as a beatmaker in the Swiss hip-hop scene, which is predominantly male-dominated. In the meantime, Jasmin Peterhans, as the real name is from Baden, has arrived in her mid-twenties, which does not mean that she has now adapted to the mainstream. Now Sensu presents their long awaited first album with Embrace (Universal Music). This 12 song debut is infected with incredible warmth that outshines everything. As a passionate globetrotter, the musician and producer incorporates a wide variety of styles and sounds, creating a bewitching conglomerate of bass music and trendy electronica.

TOMPAUL are rightly regarded as the Swiss hope for electronic pop music and have made a name for themselves with excellent releases and emotionally charged live performances across national borders. TOMPAUL are masters in creating very specific moods: a peculiarly euphoric melancholy sneaks through their productions. Native to the dance floor, but without the dogma of commanding dance, the Baden-based trio of producers / musicians is working on setting the music for those late hours of the night when peak moments are replaced by more sentimental feelings; Remnants of the night, scraps of early morning.

TOUR Live 2020

PRESENTED BY

ORGANIZER Michael Russ GmbH

Anyone who appreciates the indie scene of the 1990s knows NADA SURF . The band consists of school friends who met in New York City. In 1996 they celebrated their first catchy tune „Popular“ from the album „High / Low“, which Ric Ocasek had produced. In 2003 her power pop masterpiece „Let´s Go“ was released. It contains a whole series of hits, of which the quartet will certainly present quite a few as well as new songs from their current album „Peaceful Ghosts“ on April 6, 2020 in Stuttgart at Im Wizemann.

NADA SURF have a knack for melodies that stick in the memory. Her songs often speak of longing and heartache, but they still exert a strong fascination. Frontman Matthew Caws thinks he knows why. Her music was made for an audience made up of like-minded people, he says. „Even the saddest song should be performed in front of people who stand together in a group.“ Making music itself was an ecstatic experience for him, regardless of the topic of a song. „The process of writing, recording and editing is great fun! Even if I get the idea for a song one afternoon that worries me, I feel happy at the end of the day. „

Looking at his band’s remarkable song catalog, songwriter Matthew Caws notices how much he and his bandmates tend to switch from the „brisk live band“ on stage to the „somewhat reserved“ pop outfit in the studio. „You need the right balance of overestimating and underestimating yourself, accelerator and brake.“

NADA SURF currently consist of Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals), Ira Elliot (drums), Doug Gillard (guitar) and Daniel Lorca (bass, backing vocals). The band was founded in 1991 by Caws and Lorca in New York. Both had met at the urban Lyceé Francais. They also had another thing in common: they had spent part of their childhood in Belgium and France. Later they should play together in various bands. Regarding the name NADA SURF , Matthew says: “It has an existential connection and means ’surfing on nothing‘. You are lost in your head or your imagination, but when I listen to music I find myself in a mental space, that is what the name refers to. ”

After the albums „High / Low“ (1996) and „The Proximity Effect“ (1998), „Let Go“ followed in 2002. With „Là pour ça“ it also contains a French title, an indication that NADA SURF already does were quite popular in France at the time. Her song „Inside Of Love“ reached number 73 on the British charts. Also in Germany the band won an enthusiastic fan base with their third work. Through appearances in the preliminary program of Sportfreunde Stiller and We Are Heroes, NADA SURF further increased their popularity. The band has a close relationship with Germany and recorded their current album “Peaceful Ghosts” live with the Babelsberg film orchestra. In spring 2020, NADA will become SURF in addition to her headline tour at some Madsen shows as a special guest.

Event Details

On Easter Sunday, the Australian band MIAMI HORROR comes to us in the Gare de Lion!

The Australian electro-dance group Miami Horror returns to Europe with their fourth release „The Shapes“! The Shapes is a consistent conceptual publication that focuses on the fusion of music and visual art. The sound is crisp and colorful, the visuals playful and bold. While Miami Horror is usually known for its diverse sound and eclectic mix of influences, The Shapes is the freedom to focus on a particular musical direction that exists as an independent, conceptual release. The influences range from art pop and lyrical jokes from talking heads to the Caribbean kid creole and a short nod of African music. In a modern sense, it ties in with a brewing underground scene from Australian acts such as Cut Copy, Total Giovanni, Broadway Sounds & Confidence Man. The themes visually complement the project’s rhythmic and bold sound and focus on the use of bold shapes, hand-drawn lines and colors. „I’ve always been a fan of colorful art and murals, especially from the late 80s and early 90s,“ says the band’s producer, Ben Plant. “As a child, they inspired and inspired me every time I passed them. That left a lasting impact on me into adulthood, a desire for color and the extraordinary among the everyday colors of the suburbs or the gray of the city of Melbourne. „The shapes is a collection of works of art that aims to

Event Details

American alternative rockers Nada Surf had a major breakthrough with the debut single „Popular“ in 1996. Although there have been peaks and valleys since then, Nada Surf is something of a cult band that has always gone its own way. On April 14, they come to the Nalen Club, tickets released!

Nada Surf has long been a one-hit wonder. After the big breakthrough with the debut single „Popular“ in 1996, they ended up in a kind of limbo. Nerdrocken’s short gold was over when two years later the band released their second album. As a result, the successes failed and Nada Surf was dropped by the record label. Every now and then, his career seemed to be over.

But when Nada Surf, after four years of silence, in September 2002 released their third album „Let Go“, they were met by a turn on a unanimous tribute choir. The only ones who did not immediately grab the disc’s size were Pitchfork, which gave it the mildly lukewarm rating of 3.8 out of 10 possible. But it did not matter. The band had reinvented themselves and made several significant strides towards the cult status they have today.

Then followed a creative guild with five albums of ten years and intensive touring, before the members chose to take a well-deserved break. In 2016, they returned with „You Know Who You Are“, and thus the band proved that they could still break new ground and surprise their audience 20 years after the breakthrough that first seemed to be the beginning of the end for them as well.

This concert is standing.

GRADE! There are several rogue ticket sites that buy tickets and sell in the alternative at an unreasonably high price. Therefore, always buy your ticket through our website or at one of our dealers. This way you are sure to pay the correct price and that the ticket is valid.

Nada Surf is still riding the wave tops of the 00s indie rock

The Nada Surf album Let Go became the anthem of alternative American indie pop rock in 2002. The band was formed back in 1992 by singer and guitarist Matthew Caws as well as bassist Daniel Lorca. Over the past 27 years there have been a few replacements in the band, but the two founders are teaming up with Ira Elliot on drums and Doug Gillard on guitar.

It has made a total of 8 studio albums over time and most recently a digital re-release of the North 6th Street CD , which Nada Surf sold when they toured in 1999. It features some first singles, 8-track demos, previously unreleased songs and a cover number .

However, it is still the album Let Go that stands out as the strongest to date. It came out at a time when indie music was making its way into the American music landscape. Nada Surf quickly rose to the throne as the kings of alternative pop-rock in the homeland, where they received huge praises from the reviewers.

Support: John Vanderslice

Songwriter and producer John Vanderslice released the album The Cedars in 2019. He then approaches the craft of writing songs from every imaginable direction except the most straightforward. Through drum machines, synths and unpredictable sonic textures, he gets lost in the woods – in both the transferred and the concrete sense. Among other things, listen to the single „Utah and the Sky Over Utah“.

IMPERICON FESTIVAL JUBILÄUM: EUROPAS GRÖßTES INDOOR-FESTIVAL FEIERT JUBILÄUM

>> Event-Webseite

Wir können es kaum erwarten: 2020 startet das Impericon Festival in seine zehnte Ausgabe und das heißt – GROßES JUBILÄUM. Unglaublich, dass es wirklich das 10 Mal sein soll, seit die Festivalreihe 2011 mit 1500 Besuchern in Leipzig ihre ersten Gehversuche machte. Doch das Kind ist groß geworden und wollte noch größere Moshpits. Heute kommen in der Messestadt jedes Jahr um die 10.000 Besucher, um gemeinsam ihre Lieblingsbands abzufeiern. Und bei Leipzig blieb es nicht – in den letzten 9 Jahren waren wir in 6 verschiedenen Ländern Europas unterwegs. Also Zeit für ein Resümee: Heute besuchen jedes Jahr um die 20.000 Gäste die Impericon Festivals – über alle Jahre waren es über 120.000 begeisterte Musikfans und weit über 100 verschiedene Bands, die die Venues zum glühen brachten. Mit an der Seite waren stets unsere Partner von Monster als Hauptsponsor des Festivals, sowie Kingstar Music, ohne die wir wahrscheinlich niemals so tolle Bands für euch an Land ziehen könnten. Dafür nach all den Jahren ein großes „DANKE“.

Doch wir würden hier nicht von einem Jubiläum sprechen, wenn wir dieses nicht gleichzeitig zusammen zelebrieren würden. Unser klares Ziel ist es, das größte Indoor-Festival Europas in der Leipziger Messehalle auszuverkaufen und das heißt: 15.000 Gäste. Auch Martin Böttcher, Geschäftsführer von Impericon fiebert dem besonderen Ereignis entgegen: „Schon in den letzten Jahren haben wir alles daran gesetzt, den Besuchern genau das Festival-Erlebnis zu liefern, das sie nie vergessen werden. Es wird schwierig, da jetzt noch ein paar Schippen drauf zu legen, aber wir haben tolle Ideen erarbeitet, die mich davon überzeugen, dass wir das gemeinsam schaffen.“ Wir geben Gas und freuen uns auf 2020 und ganz besonders auf EUCH, denn 10 Jahre feiert man nur einmal.

WITH HER DEBUT ALBUM „MOMENTS“ FOR THE FIRST TIME IN KOFMEHL

Hollow Coves is the project of Australians Ryan Henderson and Matt Carins. The two got to know each other in 2013 through mutual friends and quickly found that they shared a taste for traveling around the world and for acoustic music. Suddenly they started to write songs, without guidelines and without any expectations of where it would lead, out of sheer joy in music and sound. From this grew a dynamic folk band in a short time, who loves to travel, experiences new areas and incorporates a lot of what she hears and experiences into her music.

Henderson and Carins were originally from Brisbane, but developed their songs in different corners of the world. They sent their ideas around the networked globe and worked with their good friend and producer Hayden Smith on the Internet. No wonder that the debut EP from 2017 was given the very fitting title „Wanderlust“: Their first published song „The Woods“ was created when one was snowboarding in Canada while the other was traveling across Europe. The song went straight to the top of the hype machines and charts and was streamed millions of times.

Influenced by artists such as Angus & Julia Stone, Ben Howard or The Paper Kites, Hollow Coves have long since found their own dynamic style in indie folk with earthy sounds, flying melodies and great complementary vocal harmony. Now Hollow Coves are coming to Kofmehl Solothurn for the first time with their debut album “Moments”!

Event Details

Additional show due to high demand.

Apache 207 comes to Zurich for its first Swiss headline shows and plays in complex 457 Zurich on April 28 and 29. There are enough newcomers in the German rap these days. But none of them are like Apache, the gangster who occasionally swings his leg. This two-meter giant with white tea and a waving mane. Somehow rapper, somehow rock star, who brings back the 90s in dungarees and with Lennon glasses and is still not from yesterday. „No problem“, „Not like you“, „Bread at home“ – every week Deutschraps Miroslav Klose cracks the millions again with a new two-minute game including a catchy tune. No doubt: Apache is the most exciting newcomer of the year. Why? Because Apache is different. His sound: somewhere between retro vibes and the current zeitgeist. Rap, R’n’B, Pop? I do not give a shit. The voice: distinctive and full of melody. His style: self-ironic, but never silly. Catchy, but never calculated. Different. Ask the boys in the lower-class luxury limousines, ask the art college graduates, ask the kids in the comment columns, just ask all German rap: There is currently no getting around Apache. He has earned the status. No doubt. ask the kids in the comment columns, just ask all German rap: There is currently no getting around Apache. He has earned the status.
