Illegale Farben & Flittern & ZOI!s (Post Punk / NDW / Indie)

In the organizer's words:

Monte Fiasco, or the peak of catastrophe.

The fourth album by NDW post-punkers ILLEGALE FARBEN from Cologne provides a gloomy, driving soundtrack to the big and small crises in our private lives and in the world.

The tour kicks off in spring 2024 just in time for the album.

At their concerts, Illegale Farben will present both the new album and a journey through the first three works.

Illegale Farben play their gray-black music at the breaking points of post-punk, Neue Deutsche Welle and indie.

Founded in 2015, Illegale Farben have now released 4 albums ("Illegale Farben" 2016; "Grau" 2017; "unbedeutend ungenau" 2021; "Monte Fiasko" 2024) on Rookie Records, spanning an arc that ultimately always bears the band's unmistakable signature.

Since the band was founded, they have also toured extensively throughout Germany with a colorful mix of acts such as Love A, Schrottgrenze, Duesenjaeger, Belgrad and Angelika Express.

Illegale Farben continue to prove themselves to be a band that does not stagnate and certainly does not repeat itself musically. They don't take the easy way out and succeed in giving their music the urgency that we feel in every song. As they themselves sing in "Marsch ins Verderben": "On and on and on / The beauty lies in failure."


Somewhere between "Wait, I know that!" and
"Wow, that's new!" FLITTERN package their
critical, even pleasantly self-critical lyrics

into a grown-up version of pop-punk with a positive
punk with a positive vibe, because now, when it is

punk in the face of an increasingly dys-
world, they don't want to become embittered in their niche.

want to become embittered in their niche.

Released in the fall of 2022 on UNTER SCHAFEN
RECORDS in autumn 2022, the self-titled album

was not only well-reviewed without exception, but also
but also set the course that FLITTERN are now

are now consistently pursuing. In songs like "Will you
go extinct with me?", "Hügel überm Dorf"
or "Alman Angst", a lot of distortion meets a
a pinch of autotune, which, admittedly, could sound really

could sound silly, but works really well here
on record, in streaming or live.

Speaking of live: Fabian and Sebastian get support

Simply because it's even more fun.

Change has accompanied FLITTERN, which started as a quar
from the very beginning and is now being creatively

creatively redesigned: For example, FLITTERN are putting the limi
the limitations of a duo in songwriting without further ado

upside down and make common cause with
drum computer and AI. You may or may not like that
or not, but, if you like, it's DIY.
just DIY.

Sure, there are a hell of a lot of talented
bands are working their asses off right now. Fortunately

FLITTERN don't have to and don't want to
become rock stars. It's also not about
to soothe our own conscience in advance, because in
20 years from now the question will come up as to why we
did nothing "back then". No, FLITTERN
make music so that in 20 years' time we can be happy that
that we all somehow made it together.

Founded in 2013, the Schleswig-based group Zoi!s, consisting of Rasmus
Carstensen, Hannes Jetter, Felix Klöpping and Marvin Wollesen, quickly developed into an
ambitious post-punk band. In the past few years, Zoi!

"Splitter" - 2016). A third EP "Wieder fremd" from 2019 and the single "Dunkle
Jahre" (2022) were released in collaboration with the Leipzig label lala Schallplatten. Until
to date, Zoi!s have played over 100 concerts throughout Germany, including several times as the opening act for
well-known bands such as Turbostaat, Love A and Findus. After the already
ten-year band anniversary was celebrated with the same line-up,
the band's debut album "Alles explodiert" will finally be released in spring 2024 on
Gunner Records.
