When two of the most talked about acts in the alternative guitar scene come together, it's clear that this evening is more than just another concert. On June 25, Nothing and Haywire will bring Club Volta in Cologne together - two bands that are currently causing a stir in very different ways.

For years, Nothing have stood for an idiosyncratic mixture of shoegaze, alternative and heavy, almost doomy melancholy. Between reverberating walls of guitars and raw directness, their songs have a pulling effect that becomes even more intense live - loud, dense and emotionally charged, without ever tipping over into cliché.

Haywire from Boston, on the other hand, carry the fresh nerve of a new generation. Situated somewhere between hardcore, alternative and noise, they combine energy with a fine sense of dynamics and atmosphere. No overproduced hype, but a band that has earned its reputation above all through uncompromising live shows.

Together, this results in an evening that shows how versatile and lively the current guitar scene is - between pressure, surface and the right amount of unpredictability.

VENENÖ is a three-piece band formed by former and current members of 45 Adapters, The Stance, The New York Hounds, The Take, Rododendrons, The Press and other bands from the NYC and Boston punk and Oi! scene.
The line-up consists of Max on drums, Edwin on bass and vocals and Kongo on guitar and vocals. Their music combines elements of 80s punk and Oi! with post-punk influences.

The openers are Glow! If you celebrate bands like Jesus Piece, Harms Way, Malevolence or newer Rhineline hardcore bands, GLOW should fit in pretty well. The No Echo feature also describes them as part of the currently blossoming "Rhineline Hardcore" scene in West Germany.
