Ultrabonus + Lucky Loose + Gránátèze

¡ULTRABONUS!
[No-Wave / Post-Punk, Berlin]

Ultrabonus is a No-Wave/Post-Punk band known for its fast, edgy, and short songs in Spanish. At the heart of the band is the fast-paced songwriting of Argentine Ignatz B; the group is rounded out by Leah (bass/synth), Michael (guitar/bass), and a rotating cast of drummer friends. Since their live debut in May 2022, the band has been touring tirelessly through Berlin’s DIY scene. Their current EP, “Los Últimos Avances de la Ciencia” (Kink Records), blends South American punk and pop traditions with dystopian lyrics, stories from post-reality, and ultraist details.


LUCKY LOOSE
[Garage / Post-Punk, Dresden]

Lucky Loose are like a road trip in a rusty ’90s clunker with a sagging headliner and a squeaky tape deck, heading to nowhere. As thick cigarette smoke clouds their vision, the chaotic ride sends the passengers into a series of shifting states of mind. Between control and loss of control, melancholy and movement, intimacy and noise, lightness and heaviness, the big picture of the road trip can only be glimpsed in the hinted-at stories.

The vibrant sound of the Dresden-based band oscillates with an unpolished playfulness between garage and post-punk, rooted in a DIY spirit and an experimental attitude. Its unpredictable character is marked by a raw and ironic energy, driving rhythms, and melodic dynamics that constantly hover on the brink of breaking point.

 

GRÁNÁTÈZE
[Garage Pop, Dresden]

Guitarist Anni Èze and drummer Alma Gránát join forces as Gránátèze. The result is garage pop that’s instantly catchy and then surprises with a distorted breakdown.

Singing in harmony, they deliver lyrics ranging from fluffy to cryptic—about relationship dynamics, career ladders that you don’t really want to climb, and inequality of opportunity on the moon. It usually sounds bittersweet and sometimes dangerously offbeat. Whether distorted or tender—the two musicians perform on stage just as honestly as they intended in the rehearsal room.
