Platzhirsch präsentiert: 40 Jahre Flowerpornoes

In the organizer's words:

40 years of Flowerpornoes at the Stapeltor!

The Flowerpornoes, founded in Duisburg in 1985, are nothing less than a German indie rock institution. Although the band broke up and reunited several times, their initially English-language style, mixed with folk and psychedelia, was influential on the alternative music scene.

In 2007, the band members decided to play together again, only to take another long break. At the end of 2012, the Flowerpornoes reappeared with "Ich liebe Menschen wie ihr" - their ability to present observations about life as it is lived in a universally valid way without rambling on about feelings or being overly introspective is still just as present as their talent for translating these musically in an adequate way, without bombast or sentimentalism. A comeback that was necessary.

So now it's 40 years since their first appearance in Duisburg, of course, and we'll be celebrating in style at the Stapeltor on May 30th!
