The Serfs

In the organizer's words:

Since Devo and Guided by Voices, the US state of Ohio has been known to many as a state for weirder catchy bands; perhaps another act will be added to this list: Cincinnati-based synth-punk trio The Serfs are also known to some from one of their various side projects such as The Drin, Crime of Passing, Motorbike. Between their last two albums, the three musicians have developed into minor stars of the Cincinnati underground scene with a sound that ranges from New Order to post-industrial dancefloor grime by Skinny Puppy, enthusiastic punks, minimal synth enthusiasts and dark wavers. The soundscape of The Serfs is characterized by dark drums, synthesizers and guitar instruments and a pinch of paranoia, sometimes with melodic defiance and exuberance; perfect sound conditions for a concert evening in November.

Support: Latex

Latex is a post-punk band from Darmstadt founded in 2022. The duo is inspired by style-defining bands from the 80s on the British label 4AD, such as Cocteau Twins and X-Mal Deutschland. In early 2024, the band released their first 2-track tape via the indie label ichi ichi. Since then, the band has already shared the stage with well-known bands such as Ghostwoman and Poison Ruin and impressed with their melancholic, danceable sound with guitar, bass and drum machine as well as synth samples. The vocals are embedded in the dark overall picture with lyrics of emotional isolation and inner pain. In September 2024, the recordings for an EP were completed, which is scheduled for release in 2025.
