Artakke! Kleines Kölner Punkfestival

In the organizer's words:

Artakke!
(Small Cologne Punk Festival)
2024, the birth of the Kleines Kölner Punkfestival with:

Gedrängel (Punkrock/Cologne)
Bronko (Feminist Garage-Punk/Cologne)
No idea (political punk/Cologne)
Flash Gilden (Punkrock/Cologne)

GEDRÄNGEL make punk rock. They always start their songs together, end them together and hurry in between.

BRONKO - garage punk, sometimes in the mouth, sometimes in the heart. Frantic drums, solid guitars, melodic bass, vocals, shouts and rap with a lot of British accent. Bronko are unique, untamed and DIY.

KEINE AHNUNG - Punk since 2000. left. D.I.Y.. Founded in the subcultural swamp of Cologne, the four musicians try to offer well-founded political topics away from empty revolutionary romanticism. Musically oriented towards old-school punk, they have stirred the sauce together over the years to create their very own style. The content is about social inequality in capitalism and alternatives to it, free spaces in the scene, gentrification, right-wing developments in music and society and also sometimes about contemporary historical topics such as the murders of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. In between, guaranteed funk-punk-free songs about past relationships or their own failures.

FLASH GILDEN - Their self-titled album, released by Chlodwig Music, went through the roof, at least in Cologne's rough punk scene, when it was released in 1990. Songs such as "Schade Bulle", "Hooligan", "Smog über Deutschland" and "Tiefflieger" helped them achieve status in the local squatter scene. In 2016, the band re-formed around the two founding members Herman (vocals) and Gilli (guitar) after a 20-year break. A new album, "Trink aus!", was released in 2021.
