With the brand new album (fifth full length) from them out June 12th, titled Synthetica, if you’ve seen these guys before then it’s time to do it again. Not that you wouldn’t have in anycase, the songs are ace and the live show is unstoppable. Toronto act Metric make it back here to Berlin for

Dark folk combo Eli & The Moustaches headline the Knochenbox keller, playing a late night show of cello-driven lurkers. Lyrically Eli is coming from a socio-cultural, linguistic and gender mixed identity direction, supported by the amazing Moustaches: Stella Veloce, cello player and composer, with Elisa Abela on drums (and guitar player with Joe Lally from Fugazi)

California garage rock – soul act the Bellrays are a bit of a secret in amongst people who know what they like. They’ve put out fourteen full length LPs and have toured the world round, but for some reason, for some crazy strange reason, most people don’t know about them. The live show is completely

Riding on the the back of their Albini produced new album, Screaming Females (previously) are back in Berlin, doing a show at Marie-Antoinette, just being loud and cool, kinda like always. The new one from them, Ugly, their fifth since 2006′s debut Baby Teeth, bust out and has been greeted so far by ace reviews.

A massive night of Americana, post punk and various odd excursions, Knochenbox in Friedrichshain hosts a three band lineup headlined by Berlin’s own sons of roll-your-own blues rock, Boot Heel. Kind of celebrating July 4th, kind of just doing the Knochenbox thing where everything is not never a happening, the lineup has got a definite

Love them or love-to-hate them, The Mars Volta are nothing if not a band that makes you think about what music actually is and the creative processes that sometimes come into play.

Blastcore grind punks WOJCZECH make it back to Berlin again, just when the ringing in our ears had stopped from the last time. Honestly.
