GARLANDS + ROHBAU

Molotow fills the summer gap with the TOP TEN SOMMERFESTIVAL in the Top Ten Bar! From August 28 to September 6, two exciting new bands will be playing every day. All of them are great and the concerts are free of charge. So there's no excuse... It takes a bridge from Hamburg to Berlin for the dreampop-shoegaze duo Garlands to exist. An unbroken lifeline, characterized by layered guitars, polyphonic vocals and drony synthesizers. The band's name - a reference to the Cocteau Twins' first album - recalls the ethereal atmospheres of the dream pop era. Garlands looks back, but also explore new territories, reinventing their music and themselves in the process. In their sound, they quote the noise of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth, but at the same time the two multi-instrumentalists create vast landscapes that range from delicate pop harmonies and loops to echoes of ambient, kraut and psychedelic rock. Lyrically too, the musicians embark on a journey into vast cosmos. The band also stands for the deconstruction of restrictive concepts, unwilling to allow the narratives of pop to be dictated by mass markets and ageism, they focus their senses on a life of ruptures, new beginnings and transit zones from the perspective of midlife, embarking on a journey that ranges from deep oceans to mountain peaks. Garlands come from Berlin and Hamburg. Sui Kemmer (vocals, bass, flute; Hamburg) and Catharina Rüß (vocals, guitar, synthesizer. Berlin). Live they create a wall of soundwith Homero Alonso (guitar) and Adrian Bang (drums, tapes). The band is active in the Berlin and Hamburg music scenes -- We are sitting between chairs and are looking for the loud fine thing that we want to transport. Now the spectrum has been broadened, a sound is expanding in a new line-up. Current demos at: https://rohbau.bandcamp.com/album/rohbau-live-im-hafenklang First press reviews: "that ́s not only a tape or two tracks, not a brilliant demo - it ́s pure raw construction, that weird sound, it ́s so powerful, amazing art-fuck! I guess that KrautWave stuff from Sankt Pauli, Hamburg will change bad minds into great ideas" - Ruprecht Maloky - Los Angeles Times Anyway: Our contribution to the expansion of the W-LAN zone is necessary. Let's give ourselves back our own algorythm, because vinegar and expertise paired are like us, the one bloodstream, it doesn't disappoint us because it's technically possible. We were so fed up celebrated. Please now, we have no brakes, so can drive through to the next stage! Rohbau are: Herr_Brandt : guitar - Norbert: drums: - Jan : vocals - Martin : bass - Shi Lobi : keys With the kind support of the Behörde für Kultur und Medien Hamburg
