In the organizer's words:

Slow Club Freiburg presents: PIPPA + flrrn

PIPPA
is a Viennese artist with a knack for poppy, catchy, danceable melodies. Her signature sound sometimes ventures into the spheres of experimental electronics, only to give way at other times to a calm carpet of instruments on which thoughtful but always hopeful lyrics are embedded. Sometimes so straightforward that it is both liberating and frightening, at other times abstract, almost fairytale-like, Pippa tells of her world, which suddenly seems very familiar.

For "Alles Ok", a single from her successful third studio album "Blick", Pippa was nominated for the Austrian Amadeus Music Award 2024 for Best Songwriter. The fact that Pippa is not satisfied with a straightforward life in the comfort zone is now proven once again by the artist in a new creative phase, which was heralded by the single "Nichts Tun", released in May 2024. "

Nichts Tun" is an anti-anthem and ode to everything that has no place in our meritocracy.
Pippa shovels free a taboo whose existence can make you so tired - resting. In the other songs on her fourth studio album "Dreams on Cement", which will be released on March 28, 2025, Pippa stomps just as light-footedly on slaying norms and a path that leads to a realization that raises new questions:
"Curiosity is a strange beast.
It eats out of your hand and then throws up on you."

PIPPA's fourth studio album "Träume auf Zement" (RAIN, 28.03.2025) lies somewhere between the milky sunlit fields of a coming-of-age film and Jacques Tati's merciless concrete landscapes.
However, the contrast between the cinematic dreaminess and the gloomy urban desert does not envelop the album's narrative without remaining unquestioned.

The dream can become a nightmare and cement the necessary grounding when one is in danger of sinking into dark fantasies.
Melodic lightness and cheeky lines turn the thoughtful lyrics into a danceable album that tells of the desire to swim against the current, even if it can be quite exhausting.
Because even in a time when a lot is already possible, freedoms have been won and discourses are being voiced that were taboo not so long ago, the space carved out of expectations and norms is sometimes quite narrow.

But PIPPA is not satisfied with a straightforward life in the comfort zone.
She wants to breathe, to experience pure emotions.
The search for these forms a path through the metropolitan cement.

flrrn
Screeching weirdo pop meets new German tenderness with manic charm.
flrrn makes pop for everyone who wants to feel everything - and endure it. Sensual confrontations between pure devotion, sharp eyes and glaring pain about their own lives and the suffering of others.

Joël Beierer is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, dramaturge - and artistic co-director of the performance company Hanschitz & Beierer. He has been dedicated to music since the age of twelve, came to jazz via hip hop and found his way to contemporary performance via his sound studies. Musically, he moves between jazz, new wave, post-punk, electro, pop and experimental music.

In his lyrics, Joël explores the human between-the-lines and cells - body, mind, sweat and tears.
A wild mixture of all his influences, poured into pop.
flrrn whirls manically across the stage, eyes wide open, a body ready to embrace - at full throttle to the limits of the tangible!

Social fault lines as a driving force, doubt as a constructive momentum - often tentative, blurred, associative.
An attempt to make everything tangible for each other without solving it.

After several intensive years of collaborative work, flrrn is Joël's most direct expression to date - intuitive, approachable, eccentric. A wild mixture of all his influences, poured into pop. flrrn whirls manically across the stage, eyes wide open, driven by his curiosity about all the worlds - in and around us.
