Abgesagt | Rathmann: Kalifornien Tour 2024

In the organizer's words:

CANCELLED:

Rathmann
"California" Tour 2024

Beach, Hollywood, big dreams. The Sunshine State stands for easy living and the American Dream like no other. With their EP "California", Rathmann embark on a search for adventure in bright city lights, stumble from love and situationships back into loneliness and quickly realize: California is not all glitz and glamour.

Rathmann are Magnus Ernst (vocals), Moritz Weishaupt (bass) and Arne Wolff (drums).
Great danceability and detailed arrangements are the two cornerstones of their music. Comparisons to Element of Crime or Udo Lindenberg are therefore obvious, and Wanda or Faber are also quickly thrown into the equation.
What do they have in common with Rathmann? Sad and tragic lyrics that are nevertheless humorous and intelligent, and a unique sound that can't be found anywhere else in the German indie scene.

Rathmann clearly make German indie pop, but without always quoting the same 80s references. Instead, they are dry and direct, sometimes with acoustic guitar, sometimes with orchestral trombone - but always with grooving and urgently demanding drums. Either way, the emotional sound oscillates between intimacy and great cinema.
