FZW Indie Night: Shenanygans + Barbicop

In the organizer's words:

Shenanygans are a Swiss-Irish indie rock band from Solothurn, Switzerland, who weave a unique mix of influences into their energetic live shows.
The Shenanygans released their debut album "On Monte Verità" in early 2024, which was well received nationally and internationally and prompted them to tour Switzerland. They also made detours to the UK and Ireland. Their breakthrough single "I Believe In You" was played repeatedly on Swiss radio stations and was named "Single of the Month" by Swiss Radio and Television (SRF3) in July.
Song titles such as "Count on Me" and "All the Trippin' Around" each found international resonance and currently have over 100,000 streams on Spo9fy. In the fall of 2024, the Shenanygans embarked on a 12-concert tour in Japan, where they further refined their dynamic sound and gained many new fans. They will end the year with the release of a new EP called "3, 2, 1... Action", which will introduce fans to a total of four new singles. Meanwhile, they are working on their second album "Lullabies and Lucid Dreams", which is scheduled for release in spring 2025.
Shenanygans are inspired by the vocal harmonies and garage rock of the 60s and 70s as well as the Britpop and new wave of the 80s and 90s. They also follow the works of contemporary artists such as Lorde and Rex Orange County. Thus, the Shenanygans deliver a sometimes nostalgic, sometimes modern indie rock experience that offers fans a blend of lyrical depth and musical flow.

Barbicop was founded in late 2022 by Madeleine Sandri, a 23-year-old Swiss musician living in Berlin at the time, and owes its genesis to her stay in a Neukölln underground music venue. In the midst of lo-fi pop projects, she found the inspiration to embark on her own musical journey. Her first single "Morpheus' Mercy" was released in December 2022 and began with a debut performance at Loophole in Berlin. Her idiosyncratic interpretation of pop music both joyfully moved and pleasantly stunned the audience. It was at this first performance that Janos from pojpoj became aware of her and a
collaboration that brought her and her team performances in Switzerland, Austria and Germany in 2023, including the Fusion Festival and the Waves Festival Vienna.
