Strongboi

In the organizer's words:

strongboi is a project that was born in Berlin as a passion project of two close friends, Ziv and Alice (Phoebe Lou). Starting with a lo-fi vision using mainly Casio keyboards and drum machines, strongboi has now evolved into a full band project that still emulates its lo-fi beginnings. The live shows take you on a journey from disco dance tunes to jazzy ballads, with backing vocals and heavy, funky bass.

After releasing three singles in 2020 that put them on the map, strongboi returned in 2022 and released three new singles that became part of their self-titled debut album 2023. The album was recorded in their studio La Pot, where the band also recorded a few live sessions on tape. The album is a fun and wild offering from the duo, combining many styles and influences but still very much their own.

This year strongboi embarked on their first headline tour in Europe, playing sold out shows in Berlin, Paris and London (among others) with their 6-piece band. They released a new single, magic together witha music video and played their first headline shows in Tokyo and Los Angeles (also sold out).

They are currently playing a handful of shows in Europe, including the Reeperbahn Festival, where they were nominatedfor the Anchor Awards, and are preparing for the release of their second album early next year.

In February, strongboi will be presenting this album live. On February 25th at the beautiful Knust.
