CARPET + KASKADEUR + MNWHL [VVK]

In the organizer's words:

Admission: 8pm
Start: 9pm

After the sold-out concert at the City Club in April, the playful prog rockers from Augsburg and Munich will be performing again at home at the end of the year.

CARPET is a band from Germany with influences from progressive rock, psychedelic rock, stoner rock and jazz. Hard guitars, proggy riffs, intricate rhythms, delicate melodies, sophisticated songwriting and jazzy nonchalance: it's as if Motorpsycho, Jaga Jazzist, The Notwist and The Beatles had met in the studio to write new songs together. After three albums released on ELEKTROHASCH, the band has been under contract with Bielefeld-based vinyl label KAPITÄN PLATTE since 2024, where the current album COLLISION was released in March.

KASKADEUR | Prog, Post Rock, Jazz Rock (GER / Noisolution)

KASKADEUR have been a constant and benchmark in their genre for over 10 years. From the genre escapism between psych, noise and jazz rock emerges an anarchic version of what could be called the "New Wave of Krautrock" (Classic Rock Magazine / GER).

On their latest album PHANTOM VIBRATIONS (2023), KASKADEUR continue the musical roundhouse kick they kicked off with their debut UNCANNY VALLEY (2020). Recorded at 'Candy Bomber Studios Berlin' with Ingo Krauss (who has worked with Iggy and the Stooges, Nick Cave, Swans and Nina Hagen), the new album shines with "musical expression that will leave you breathless, confused, entertained, and exhausted... but wanting more!" (Powerplay Magazine / GB)

After numerous shows in Germany and Europe with bands such as FATSO JETSON, KADAVAR, ROTOR and 1000 MODS, they were recently selected as special guests for ZZ TOP frontman BILLY GIBBONS and were allowed to support him on the entire German tour (June 2023).

MNWHL is a duo.
Drums and bass complemented by a loop machine.
Somewhere between post-rock and noise rock.
An essence of reduction, noise and short arrangements.
Distortion, odd rhythms and feedbacks are combined with
random loops into an instrumental melange,
reminiscent of bands from the label rosters of Thrill Jockey or
Touch and Go in the mid-1990s.
The debut album "The Cobbler" was released in 2023.

Bass: Markus Christ, Drums: Christian Lohr (both ex-Kitty Empire)
