After their worldwide success with their album "Tainted" and their often sold-out club concerts in America and Europe, the next studio album by post-punk legends Pink Turns Blue from Berlin will be released on February 28, 2025, followed by a club tour through Germany in April. The new album and tour are titled "BLACK SWAN", the term for an unexpected event, which in retrospect is justified as if one could have prepared for it.
With their latest album and accompanying tour, Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Luca Sammuri (bass) and Paul Richter (drums) have won just about everything a band could wish for. Album of the Year at Byte FM, Best of 2021 at Post Punk Com, singles at number 1 in the German Alternative Charts and the Indie Disko Top 40, excellent reviews in the worldwide music press and very well-attended, if not sold-out club concerts from Los Angeles to Yerevan, especially in Germany, of course.
Pink Turns Blue belonged to the first generation of gothic rock and were founded in 1985, originally as a duo consisting of Mic Jogwer and Thomas Elbern, as well as a drum machine. They named themselves after a Hüsker Dü song and were initially inspired by The Chameleons, Clan of Xymox and The Cure. Their debut album "If Two Worlds Kiss" introduced dark undertones to their new wave sound and further developed the darkwave subgenre while becoming a seminal album of the post-punk genre. The band, which emerged from the fear and uncertainty of a divided Germany during the Cold War, has released 12 albums to date.
