In the organizer's words:

The youth stage at the Freiburg Tent Music Festival always needs fresh bands. And because demand determines supply, even though they actually only wanted to jam in the "Haus der Jugend", three little rock pigs dropped the "H" in 2022 and have been a band ever since. The story takes its course in the local AZs, at street festivals and in Freiburg's backyards: the first recordings come from the rehearsal room ("Haus der Jugend"), where the band continues to be tolerated despite their advancing age (around 25 years). In 2024, the first studio EP "Wir zünden Papas Auto an" is released, including a release concert in the packed favorite record store Flight 13, where the band is somehow at home anyway. So it's only logical that they make their first record together. "forever never be like you" is released on 25.04.25 - there is attention from VISIONS, ox, Trust, bierschinken,... - But above all, it's time to get out (!) of the idyllic Black Forest and embark on their first tour with 15 stops from Freiburg to Kiel. Plus concerts with bands like Akne Kid Joe, Ersatzkopf and ZSK. Now they're writing new songs, and in 2026 they'll be back in the studio - and maybe even see you? <3 Your rock mice from DAS AUS DER JUGEND scheitern.dreitausend are an indie rock band from the 'Bremen school', as the first ones started to say. They make loud-quiet rock music about getting older and being sad about it, about being stuck at home and being sad about it, about not belonging and being sad about it, and the scratchy discourse guitar is still just as necessary as it has been since the 90s. You want to sing along everywhere, you want to have such big feelings, you want to have your head blown out by distortion, and then feedback squeaks into your ear canal and all of a sudden it's as loud outside as it feels inside. "schluma" come from Hamburg. Almost the whole band met at university in 2023 - which is a bit uncool, of course, but it just happened that way. For Lenny, voice of schluma, studying has been "Plan F" from the start. Any distraction is therefore gratefully accepted. Lenny and Peter get to know each other in the first semester and realize that although they like very similar music, they work very differently. Nevertheless, it works surprisingly well straight away: they meet up, talk stupidly and then quickly write some music and lyrics. Mostly in the last few meters, certainly also a bit to at least have the feeling: we didn't just talk, today was good. Musically, you end up somewhere between very early Tocotronic, Lemonheads, Pavement, Beach House and Anda Morts. At some point, the idea of perhaps playing it live emerged. Lenny suggests his old school friend Linus as drummer. The two of them had already had thousands of band projects and they were all somewhere between 90s noise and rap, which isn't really rap at all. This is also somehow reflected in the music of "schluma". Later, Pola joins the band on guitar, who actually makes completely different music - more like King Krule - but according to her own words "is totally up for it". The lyrics are often about their own foggy heads, strange people in the canteen, conversations with the wall, lots of smoking and a deep-seated sadness: lines like "I don't know if that's enough, keeping my mouth shut makes me sick" capture this feeling beautifully. "schluma" is an abbreviation. The band won't say what it stands for. Lenny says: "So far the name has gone down quite well, so now it's up to us to give the name dignity." Such an exaggerated sentence is very typical of Lenny. The proximity to the word Schlummern is certainly a nice association. Never quite gone, but not really there either. A beautiful image.
