Kicking off the Summer here in Berlin with a mini-fest at Schokoladen in Mitte, M:Soundtrack presents a small showcase of ace local bands, in the courtyard on what’s going to inevitably be a lovely sunny day. 5 bands for just 5€, even that fact alone makes it so you couldn’t dare stay at home. mOck
Top little lineup at Cortina Bob’s with Berlin punk-rockers Modern Pets get ready themselves for their US tour. That means a whole lot of partying and a whole lot of drinking and if the LSD punchbowl is there like we’ve heard rumour, a whole lot of everything else besides. Supporting on the night at 60′s

A man who needs no introduction that we’ll introduce anyway, the one and only Lou Reed, vocalist with the Velvet Underground and writer of Perfect Day, plays what could be a once in a lifetime concert at the Zitadelle in Spandau.

Terribly stylish and altogether lovely Berlin music & style magazine Cartouche comes out with another print issue, to celebrate they’ve put together a terrific lineup of bands, all playing for one night at Antje klesund.

The thinking man’s cult band, Guitar Wolf are starting to become not only just a band that the people who know about them are stupidly passionate about, with their coming age they’re bordering on being a heritage act also. Formed in 1987, Guitar Wolf (Seiji (Guitar Wolf): U.G. (Bass Wolf); and Toru (Drum Wolf)) have

The sound has changed quite a bit since their inception,
They’re not the Pogues but they’re good enough for the likes of you. Flogging Molly are one of the world’s best Celtic punk bands, doing numbers swaying from pirate shanties to anything relating to Ireland and its history.
