DREAM, IVORY - "At Zero" Tour

In the organizer's words:

The title of their second album "When You Come Back I Have So Much to Tell You" sounds like a promise - and at the same time like a warning. For Dream, Ivory, the Californian duo of brothers Christian and Louie Baello, it began as a faint flicker of hope: two voices, separated by space and experience, who were to find each other again at the end of a dark tunnel. But the longer the work on the songs went on, the more clearly a different tone came to the fore. What if no one comes back? What if the stories that need to be told are not comforting?

Growing up as the sons of Filipino immigrants, the brothers moved through half of Southern California, always accompanied by their parents' records - ABBA, Bee Gees, Beatles. The family obsession with the piano became the creative basis for an unmistakable sound that later fused shoegaze, surf rock and pop punk. While Christian layers productions like mental sediments, Louie sings with haunting clarity about what bubbles beneath the surface: Addiction, self-doubt, lost time.

Work on the new album coincided with a phase of estrangement. The parents moved back to the Philippines, Louie moved to Los Angeles, the brothers lived under the same roof for the first time as adults - and were completely blocked creatively. Instead of songs, they produced emptiness, escapades and crashes. Only Christian's withdrawal, his attempt to return to himself, opened a new window. "Lost Angeles", and later "At Zero", mark the moment when the duo found themselves again and were suddenly able to ironically reflect their own melodrama.

But it was only on stage that this introspection became a shared experience. At their sold-out 2025 shows in Paris, London and Los Angeles, Dream, Ivory transformed their introspective songs into shimmering, almost cathartic evenings. The audience seemed less like witnesses than fellow travelers in a story that spans longing and reconciliation. Live, the brothers seem to overcome the distance of the album title in real time - each line an attempt to reach an invisible counterpart. In summer 2026, Dream, Ivory will return to Germany for three concerts - supported by losers!
