RUMPELN // ubu.zip // AUTODELETE (Album Release)
Zombie Sessions is a concert series by musicians for musicians on a non-profit and DIY basis and has been pursuing the goal of creating fair performance opportunities and spaces for known and unknown music outside the mainstream since 2013. Across genres, the focus of the Zombie Sessions is on the harder varieties of rock (punk, hardcore, metal, noise, grunge, stoner, etc., or any sound that cannot be properly categorized as a genre), but jazz, pop and hip-hop, for example, have also been represented.
The Zombie Sessions are not only a matter close to the hearts of the people behind them, but also an attempt to make a contribution to Munich's musical subculture and to connect it with artists from all over Europe, both internally and externally.
The Zombie Sessions are therefore the perfect opportunity for music lovers to experience bands from Munich, Germany and abroad up close. The Zombie Sessions invite you to immerse yourself in the relaxed, informal atmosphere and simply let yourself go at energetic, sweaty and sometimes overflowing concerts. With a low admission price, the Zombie Sessions, which take place at the Glockenbachwerkstatt, Kafe Kult or Sunny Red / Feierwerk, are also accessible to a wide audience.
All artists and bands who would like to perform at the Zombie Sessions should take a look at the band guide(Zombie Session Info for Bands 2024) and contact zombie.sessions@gmail.com so that the planning can begin...

"Rumpeln : Known for his aggressive performances, where not a dry eye is left unturned. He relies on the interoperability of electronic sounds, bodies and videos, all subjected to the same excessive strategy, always balancing between brutality and awkwardness - stubborn, unforgiving, raging, aggressive, but with a cathartic outcome."
"On the ground: In Rumpeln, individual disparate noise particles unfold into idiosyncratic rhythmic structures that correspond in a fascinating way with the visuals projected onto the wall. Vocals, performed in grindcore style, complemented by Anton's wild jumps over tables and benches, which surprisingly took place without any broken bones this time. The first set in the concert hall, which ensured that every last particle of dust in the room was blown away.
(Munich) + album release
Autodelete is not a band that is easy to categorize - and that is exactly their principle. Their music is raw and distorted, like screaming into an old amplifier that is about to explode. But there is more behind the noise than mere volume: humorous directness meets ritualistic atmosphere. Rooted in punk, they have long been traveling the dark back roads. Dede (drums/vocals), Daniel (bass/guitar/vocals) and Flo (guitar) are back on stage in their familiar constellation. What began as a chaotic collective has developed into a well-rehearsed trident.
With their new album, they have once again taken an unexpected turn. Old demons have been burned, new amplifiers have been consecrated - they are playing and screaming again. Three bodies, one ritual - Autodelete continue to move between the occult and silliness, end-time vision and self-forgetfulness.
(Munich)
A grandiose duo of keyboard and drums. Electronica and krautrock. Playful and reduced. Experimental and direct. An unbelievable pull. Fatally captivating.
ubu.zip are the Munich musicians Daniel and Raphi, who two years ago founded the neo-krautrock trio Ubu Imperator, which quickly became known in underground circles. The band's name refers to the play "King Ubu" by French writer Alfred Jarry.
