The Sensitives [Falun] / Nosebleeder [Köln] / The Black Elephant Band [Nürnberg]
The Sensitives sind eine rauhaarige Mischlings-Bande aus Punk, Rock'n'Roll, Ska und Folk – rastlos, laut und unmöglich zu bändigen. Nach über 400 Shows in ganz Europa sind sie wieder unterwegs, um ihre brandneue EP „Ride It Like You Stole It“ zu feiern. Freut euch auf jede Menge rohe Energie, Mitsing-Songs und ausgestreckte Mittelfinger gegenüber Rassismus, Sexismus und allen, die euch davon abhalten wollen, ihr selbst zu sein!
Packt eure schlechtesten Dance-Moves ein, denn The Sensitives kommen in die Stadt!
Nosebleeder kam bereits mit einer Menge Banderfahrung aus unterschiedlichen Genres vor 12 Jahren zusammen, um sich der gemeinsamen Leidenschaft Punkrock zu widmen. Geboren ist dabei ein Bastard aus Einflüssen der eigenen Punkrock-Sozialisation der 90er. Gestartet, um hauptsächlich etwas loszuwerden, entschloss man sich 2021 dann doch etwas zu geben und es erschien das bisher einzige Album „No“ auf Flight13 Records. Die knapp zweiminütigen Songs wussten zu überzeugen und es wurden Vergleiche u.a. zu Bands wie Dag Nasty, Hüsker Dü, Samiam oder Leatherface gezogen. Seit 2025 gibt es online eine Demoversion der neuen EP „Yosemite“.
Mit dem sechsten Album im zehnten Jahr versucht THE BLACK ELEPHANT BAND, Solo-Projekt des Nürnberger Songwriters und Autoren Jan Bratenstein (Städtischer Kulturpreis in 2020), aus der postpandemischen Depression zu entkommen. Ans Touren war im Frustwinter 2021 nicht zu denken - die Band, die eigentlich ein Solo-Act mit über 1000 Konzerten auf dem Buckel ist, findet sich von harten Entzugserscheinungen umspült. Umso wertvoller: ein GEMA-Stipendium, das eine Aufnahmesession unter widrigsten finanziellen und seelischen Bedingungen möglich macht. Die Session wird zur zweiwöchigen Therapiesitzung.
Einlass: 20h, Beginn: 21h, Eintritt: 15€

Plastic Family [Netherlands] / Espuma [London]
Plastic Family is a brand-new band bringing the power back in pop, with songs at the very heart of everything they do. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of pop music — from Wings and Supertramp to Big Star and Raspberries — they blend melody, energy, and sweet harmonies into a sound that feels both fresh and timeless.
The group features seasoned players from the Dutch underground: Giles Young (MOOON, The Colour Collection), Fleur Elman (FLEUR, The Colour Collection), Frankie Fuzz (Frankie’s Strange Machine), Jim Remers (FLEUR, Frankie’s Strange Machine) and Jan Kleijn (The Hook). United, they form a collective
built on strong songwriting, infectious hooks and most of all loads of energy.
Their debut 7” single “Love & Heartbreak in High School”, will arrive in early 2026 on Echo Archive Recordings — marking the beginning of a journey filled with energy, harmony, and rock ’n’ roll spirit.
London-based six-piece Espuma weave a hypnotic tapestry of latin rhythms, folk tales and 60s psychedelia with influences from around the world. Coming from across England, Bulgaria and Germany, their sound pulses with the energy of London’s vibrant psychedelic scene. After their first year the band has quickly shown immense promise through captivating live performances at key grassroots venues in the UK, US and France, with the release of the second EP, Magic Valley, featuring on BBC Radio 6 Music and KEXP.

Supersuckers [Seattle] / Black Sheriff [Köln]
Eddie Spaghetti is back!
The greatest RocknRoll band in the world, die Supersuckers, gründeten sich bereits 1988 und veröffentlichten ihr erstes Album „The Smoke of Hell“ 1992 auf Seattle’s Sub Pop Label. Inzwischen auf Steamhammer angekommen, erschien im Jahr 2020 mit „Play That Rock `n‘ Roll“ das 13. Album der Band. Die Platte zeigt ein vom ersten Ton an rücksichtsloses, rigoros ablieferndes Trio, das wie eine Reinkarnation von Motörhead klingt und Lemmys Aura durch die krächzende Stimme seines Frontmannes weiterleben lässt: „Ain`t going to stop until I stop it, ain’t going to let it go until I drop it”.
Nach Ausflügen in die Cowboy und Country Gefilde in den letzten Jahren sind sie mit rotzigem Rawk ’n‘ Roll zurückgekehrt, mit hocherhobenem Mittelfinger und dem typischen Supersuckers Sound – ein bisschen Country und jede Menge Motörhead.
Keine Band ist cooler als die Supersuckers. Und der RocknRoll Zug der Band tuckert unermüdlich durch die Welt. Unzählige Touren haben sie auf dem Buckel.
Inzwischen als Trio unterwegs, werden sie die Fans auch 2026 mit einer Europatour erfreuen. Dazu gibt es ein niegelnagelneues Album, an dem die Band gerade arbeitet.
Songs von diesem Album, alte Klassiker und ein oder zwei Country Songs gehören zum Programm. Und jede Menge Coolness.
Wie Lemmy schon sagte: „If you don’t like the Supersuckers, you don’t like Rock-N-Roll.“
Black Sheriff are the Irish / German / Mexican Rock n Roll bastardisation of The Dead boys , Mötley Crüe and KISS.
Formed in 2006 in Cologne, Germany by Glen Clarke (vocals, guitar) the band exploded onto the scene with their self titled debut album.
Playing and writing as much as they could the boys burned out a bunch of bass players, drummers and a founding member until the current lineup featuring Lukas Strunck on drums and Diego „The Bulldozer“ Mendoza on bass recorded the up and coming masterpiece, aptly entitled „Time To Burn“ Featuring special guests Ross "The Boss" Friedman, of „Manowar“ and „The Dictators“ fame, whose screaming lead guitar adds the icing on the cake to two tracks and Lisa Kekuela of „The Bellrays“ whose beautiful, soulful voice makes "One You Love" a perfect rock hit, this album just keeps on giving.
The band has played in front of thousands one day and in front of 5 folk the next, do they give a fuck? Do they give less ? No !!
„It doesn´t matter how many people you play for, that one guy in the corner payed his 10 bucks to see a show and that´s what he´s gonna get“
The boys have just released their fifth Album „Time To Burn“ on Savage Magic Records
Come to the show and Drink Out Loud !!
We got it, you want it!!!

The Mahones [Toronto] / The Mercenaries [Paris] / Monica Mendoza [Toronto]
From an Irish pub to an Academy Award winning movie: The Mahones have come a long way in 29 years. Heralded as pioneers of the Irish punk scene, and internationally recognized as one of the best and hardest working punk outfits around, The Mahones formed on St. Patrick's Day in 1990, and have been working on their own brand of Irish punk ever since. With a working class ethic and a love of classic punk, Dublin-born Finny McConnell (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Songwriter) formed the band to combine his love of punk rock with his Irish culture. Alongside McConnell are Sean Riot Ryan (Bass, Vocals), Michael O’Grady (Tin Whistle, Accordion, Vocals), Al Baby Webster (Drums, Percussion), Nicole Kaiser (Accordion, Vocals) and occasionally Gina Romantini (Fiddle, Vocals).
The Mahones have released an incredible ten studio albums, three compilation albums, two live albums and two EPs. Their albums have featured many guest appearances, including Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Simon Townshend (The Who), Ken Casey and Rick Barton (Dropkick Murphys), Dave Baksh (Sum 41), Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo), Tony Duggins (The Tossers), Johnny Fay and Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip), Ian D'Sa (Billy Talent), Mary Margaret O'Hara, Ian Blurton, Damhnait Doyle, Ian Thornley and Tara Slone. Their music has been featured everywhere. Their song “Paint the Town Red” was featured in the climactic final fight scene of the 2x Academy Award-winning film The Fighter. They’ve had songs in a slew of movies and TV shows, including Irving Welsh's Ecstasy, Dog Park, Celtic Pride, ABC’s Castle, Lost Girl, and many more. The band has toured through 35 countries internationally, headlined festivals all over the world, and has been honoured to share a stage with nearly all of their favourite bands! The band grew from Irish pubs and punk squats, to halls, theatres and arenas, touring relentlessly since their start, and is famous for an incredible high-energy live show.

Preyrs [Berlin] / anderswo [Köln]
The Wounded Healer, their forthcoming first album as PREYRS alongside longtime guitarist Nolan Donelly and new bass player Ciarán McGreevy, represents a monumental shift in the way the band lives and breathes with creativity and collaboration unleashed as a fully fleshed out fourpiece, rather than writing and performing under Amy’s name alone.
Embracing this reinvention of the band at a fundamental level, PREYRS even reworked their writing and recording process. Amy and Micheal decamped to Canada’s Wolfe Island, a 48-square mile island on Lake Ontario, in the dead of winter and set up a studio on the ground floor of their small, otherwise quiet hotel. They spent a month overlooking the frozen lake, safe from the -20 degrees outside, and left having written the entirety of The Wounded Healer before Micheal recorded and produced it at his own
Tree Song Studios just outside Belfast.
This profound seachange can clearly be heard in the music too, it’s raw, potent and intoxicating. Freed from the assumptions and expectations that might have followed their previous moniker, PREYRS have created something altogether different whilst simultaneously building on an already impressive oeuvre.
Inspired by highly influential Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s writings on ‘the wounded healer’ which explore the concept of an entity, be it a person or a nation, developing the capacity for empathy and healing through welcoming and embracing their own past traumas and vulnerabilities, The Wounded Healer is itself proudly full of dualities, conflicts and juxtapositions.
After breathtaking album opener ‘Humble Eyes’, lead single ‘Wave of Wisdom’ immediately lays this concept bare as Amy’s incandescent delivery of uncertainty, “lesson learned / don’t know how / but here I am again / stronger than before”, soars over a defiantly discordant clash of alt-folk slide guitar and Mormecha’s pummeling industrial percussion.
Elsewhere, the high-octane ‘Zeros, Ones & Lies’ wrestles with the spiritual toll of being fed constant footage of atrocity and catastrophe by a media that accepts no responsibility for their part in the global race to the bottom. As such, the track bursts into furious life with urgent, double-time drums met by guitars distorted to the brink of destruction before the song all but caves in on itself as Amy quietly asks of us “Can you feel it? / like a river / it flows so silently / it flows so violently”. By contrast, ‘Bring Ur Bruises’ radiates resplendent, self-empowering positivity. Centred once again on the concept of the wounded healer, ‘Bring Ur Bruises’ implores the listener to welcome their trauma in, to own it and wear it as a paradoxical means of ultimately letting it go as triumphant, reverb-soaked guitars soar ever higher.
If it wasn’t already clear, PREYRS are no strangers to doing things differently and, across every iteration, the band have always taken a DIY approach to every aspect of their existence. From covering themselves in paint and rolling over every single early album cover to, until recently, booking all of their own shows and festivals as diverse as Glastonbury, Green Man (UK), Blizzarrrd Rock (GER) and Bloodstock (UK), last year the band found themselves touring the UK as Amy Montgomery in support of musical heroes and British post-punk legends New Model Army.
In November they will be joining New Model Army again on tour across Europe, but this time as PREYRS performing tracks from The Wounded Healer, the same four people but an entirely different beast.
„anderswo“ steht dort, wo Velvet Underground auf Postpunk trifft, wo Lou Reed und Punkblues mit der schmutzigen Eleganz von The Gun Club kollidieren. Getragen von trotzig rockiger Energie und der Haltung der Independent-Musik entsteht ein Sound, der sich Schubladen entzieht – kantig, direkt und kompromisslos.
Die Besetzung ist so klassisch wie wirkungsvoll: Schlagzeug, Bass, E-Gitarre und Gesang bzw. Sprechgesang. Reduziert auf das Wesentliche, voller Druck und Spannung. Mal minimalistisch, mal explosiv – immer mit Haltung.
Der Umfang reicht von Lo-Fi-Songs mit rauer Intimität über Indie-Pop-Nummern mit eigenem Twist bis hin zu Rock’n’Roll. Dazwischen: tanzbare Headbanger, die treiben, drücken und nicht stillstehen lassen. Musik für verschwitzte Clubs, wackelnde Bühnen und offene Ohren.
Für alle, die Ecken und Kanten lieben. Für alle, die lieber fühlen als konsumieren. Für alle, die Musik nicht nur hören – sondern erleben wollen.
Einlass: 20h, Beginn: 21h, Eintritt 14€
