The Bands
GLOOOM
Genre: Fem-Punk, 18:30 - 19:00
When calm doesn't come, a sharp scream becomes necessary - and when confronting rage means breaking through loneliness, a certain lightness emerges. With intense, fast-paced, and enveloping sounds, Glooom blends Grunge, Riot Grrrl, and Punk. Exploring experiences of loss, violence, and unease. Glooom's melodies pass through dark corners - but there are moments when the burning starts cracking with humor, sparkles and dense riffs: a means for resistance.
Eddie
Genre: Punk, 19:30 - 20:10
Rooted in the Berlin underground scene, the three-piece navigate their way from driving, explosive punk to melancholic, expressive alternative and gentle ballads, addressing topics such as menstruation, police violence, mental health, masculinity and lovesickness.
After the first meeting of London (guitarist), Nylar (bassist) and Ascánio (drummer), there was no doubt about the group dynamic, so EDDIE came to life.
The energy level of their gigs is incomparable: extremely experimental, swapping instruments, inviting musicians to join them on stage and ending up jamming almost unnoticed.
Their debut album "Ambivalence" was released in 2024.
Riot Spears
Genre: Grunge & Angry Pop, 20:40 - 21:20
With Riot Spears’ grunge-punk, this utterly rebellious sound is finally regaining its dignity and flannel-clad glamour.
Caught between icons such as Hole and Babes In Toyland, the Berlin trio powers through thrilling walls of sound: loud, soft, abrupt, explosive.
In this age of digital AI rock, it’s easy to forget that guitar feedback and screeching sounds are part of a rock band.
At a Riot Spears gig, you’re guaranteed to be reminded of that.
Bonsai Kitten
Genre: Heavy Metal Blues, 21:50 - 22:30
You’ve probably seen this name quite a few times:
Musically, the band’s style has evolved over the years from punk-a-billy to punk rock to metal with prog and blues influences. With blues-rock guitarist Wally, Spoxx on the 3-string bass, and now Matthew Raven from South Africa on drums, the band has played numerous headlining shows and festivals (Rodeo, Satanic Stomp, Rebellion Punk Music Festival) and is internationally renowned. Their latest album, LET IT BURN, was released in 2024 and set new standards for the band.
Nungara
Genre: Metal, 23:00 - 00:00
NUNGARA is a Brazilian-born, Berlin-based power trio bringing their own brand of “dark groove metal” to the European scene. NUNGARA means “equal” or “alike” in Tupi-Guarani. Their music draws on ancestral roots with trance inducing heavy riffs and haunting melodies. Their raw and unique sound dances between two polarities: soft female vocals and ferocious growls carried by explosive guitars. Founded in 2019 by Brazilian vocalist/guitarist Noelle dos Anjos (ex-Cobra Spell) and drummer Murilo Frade in Berlin, they were recently joined by fellow Brazilian bassist Artur Cipriani (Amuro, ex-Human Abyss) to complete the trio.
