THE BOURBON PREACHERS

Fri., 21.02.25 - Cheers, An der Mühle 24

Five guys from the coast, united by a shared vision of melancholy, a bit of madness and a good dose of groove paired with rock'n'roll and country. That's what The Bourbon Preachers stand for.

What began in Bremerhaven in 2017 as a studio project by guitarist Stefan and singer Malte grew into a full live band with Lucian (guitar), Rado (bass) and Timo (drums) in the fall of the following year. Since the beginning of 2019, the five musicians have been romping around Germany's stages, telling the stories that life writes with their songs, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes bitter and deadly serious.

With their debut album "Born by the Coast", released on 15.04.2023, these musical stories can now be experienced by everyone away from the stages that mean the world.

Inspired by the timeless music of the old heroes, the five Preachers create their very own interpretation of what they love and live with their own compositions. Handmade music with honest lyrics and no frills! It's just Seaside Country!

TWIN NOIR

Fri., 21.02.25 - Schillerklause, An der Mühle 38

TWIN NOIR is a punk/new wave duo from Berlin, driven by a tape recorder, combined with powerful basslines, soundscapes of guitars, synthesizers and dark danceable electronic club sounds, accompanied by minimalist lyrics in German.

TWIN NOIR's sound is characterized by an analog tape machine, a sampler, guitars and a theremin, with which the duo creates its own style of punk and wave music.

Technoid beats, driving basslines and spheres, sometimes played by a synthesizer, sometimes by a guitar, create moments that invite you to dance, float and drift. The influences of the two artists range from bands such as KRAFTWERK and DAF to the EBM and techno scene to punk and rock from the 70s to the 90s.

TWIN NOIR impress live with their energetic performances and danceable sound. The show is inspired by Berlin club culture, punk and vaudeville and aims to celebrate and manifest freedom, creativity and art

LEGIT CREW

Fri., 21.02.25 - Zum Pitty's, Schillerstraße 104

"We, Anton, Aurin, Felix and Jakob, are Legit." The Legit Crew is a hip-hop collective that developed more than six years ago from a group of friends and a shared interest in music. While they started rapping as an amateur hobby inspired by German rap and American boom bap, among other things, it has developed into more than just a hobby for each of them over the years. Everyone has worked on their own style, which is why it is now difficult to categorize their music with just one name. They move between old school and new school, between boom bap and trap, DnB and RnB and even pop is now part of their repertoire.

They now see themselves as a part of rap culture in their own right, which they have proven time and again through performances and other engagements in the cultural scene between Bremen and Bremerhaven.

MUCKEZIEREN

Fri., 21.02.25 - Break Time Area, Verdener Straße 17

Sat., 22.02.25 - Schillerklause, An der Mühle 38

Zutaten Muckezieren - the world's smallest band: three voices, a guitar, a cajon, a bass and a good pinch of nonsense.

With their charismatic and well-rehearsed style, Muckezieren have been playing acoustic hits from the past decades at various events and venues in the north for over 10 years.

No two gigs are the same, as the three always have a pinch of wit and irony in the form of humorous, spontaneous stories or anecdotes.

Professional, passionate music-making meets improv comedy - music entertainment in its purest form.

JUST2YOU

Fri., 21.02.25 - Drei Kronen, Grashoffstraße 20a

Sat., 22.02.2025 - Markt-Treff, Neumarktstraße 12

The party duo "JUST2YOU" has been performing on stages in northern and central Germany for over 20 years. Their repertoire now includes over 800 titles, including the best hits of the last 50 years as well as current chart hits and popular classics. So there is guaranteed to be something for everyone.

They play around 50 dates a year as a party band, trio and duo and therefore have a great deal of stage experience. This means that they are always able to adapt perfectly to the guests present. Hardly any musical wish will remain unfulfilled.

GREAT FREEDOM NR.2

Fri., 21.02.25 - Markt-Treff, Neumarktstraße 12

Sat., 22.02.25 - Drei Kronen, Grashoffstraße 20a

Hans Albers used to want to go to the fairground with his Mariechen. Today, Angela and Flo go where the funfair is. The two studied at the Hans Albers College of Music in Titika for 30 years. Their motto is: "Better a beer for two than the best wine alone".

LOVE BUZZ

Sat., 22.02.2025 - Cheers, An der Mühle 24

A quarter of a century has passed since the death of Kurt Cobain and yet his music remains unforgotten, immortal. Mainly because the musical descendants between Seattle and Sylt have never stopped not only listening to Nirvana songs, but also covering them to pay the tribute their idols deserve. The band LOVE BUZZ from Bremerhaven is no exception, breathing new life into the grunge legends of Nirvana with brute energy, pure passion and a good dose of rage in their bellies: Here we are now - Entertain us!

The members of LOVE BUZZ, all band-tested and experienced on stage, have rarely been in such agreement: "When you form a Nirvana tribute band after around twenty years of making music and feel the euphoria of a child again, then perhaps for the very first time you really realize how awesome it is to be able to make music."

BNB JUUZE

Sat., 22.02.25 - Zum Pitty's, Schillerstraße 104

BNB JUUZE has long been known in the Bremerhaven hip hop scene for his street credibility. He recently performed at the "Havenbeatz-Festival" in Bremerhaven's Stadthalle, where he was able to prove that his live performance also goes down well on stage. Whether singing or hard rap, there is something for everyone in BNB JUUZE's program.

SOUNDSCALE

Sat., 22.02.25 - Break Time Area, Verdener Straße 17

Soundscale are five rock musicians from Bremerhaven who know what's important. Rhythms that get your hips moving and an extraordinary stage presence with impressive show interludes ignite a firework of emotions not only in the audience. Consisting of two guitarists, keyboarder, bassist and drums, the band's many years of stage experience and polyphonic vocals are reflected in expressive original compositions as well as in cover songs from the top league - for example by the Foo Fighters, Queen, Placebo, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden, U2, HIM, Rise Against, Rammstein, ACDC and others. Setting itself apart from the everyday mash, Soundscale has already made a name for itself in the region in a short space of time and ambitiously brings even the last stool-puller to the dance floor.

Free admission, a hat goes round and the beer is already tapped!
