MYTH OF AMERICA

Monster Truck Shows, Superman, Coca Cola: MYTHOS AMERIKA are dedicated to the pop cultural myths of the 20th and 21st centuries. Casual grooves meet surreal lyrics, guitars meet synthesizers, humor meets outrage. Set pieces from 1000 years of music history are collaged and reinterpreted with deconstructivist verve and great attention to detail. The Cologne trio's aim is to recode all codes and create an alternative concept to reality. In 2023, the debut album JUGEND TRAINIERT FÜR OLYMPIA is released by baumusik. The second album VIVE LE CINEMA will follow in May 2025.

MontagTontag

The popular MontagTontag is back! Since September 4, 2023, the small concert series at Kunsthaus Essen has started a new round. Every Monday at 8 pm, various artists from all genres perform on the small stage in the café. The concerts last around an hour and there is no admission charge. Instead, a collection bag goes around. 100% of the money collected goes to the performing musicians. Chilled drinks are available on a donation basis.
