Fischer-Z – “Classics Revisited”
In Europe, FISCHER-Z are considered one of the most successful and influential British Post-Punk bands, held in the same regard as acts like DEPECHE MODE and THE CURE. John Watts is a man of the people and, at the same time, a dedicated outsider. This duality is one reason his career has been so unique. The current album, ‘Triptych’, brings these and other qualities to life in a vivid expression of the present. Highlights include the anarchic Steam-Punk of the title track ‘Triptych’, the haunting Motown pulse of ‘When Love Goes Wrong’, and the poignant storytelling of ‘Conclusion’, brimming with detail and ingenuity, and equally at home in a club or on a concert stage. FISCHER-Z performrd the crème de la crème of their hits from the early 1980s along with select tracks from the new album at an energetic new stage production.

Kielectric 2025 with Frozen Plasma, [:SITD:], Beyond Obsession, Massiv in Mensch and Fractiles
Ah, the lovely Easter season... After the magical time we had at last year’s Kielectric, one thing was certain: we wouldn’t be missing the third edition of this wonderfully intimate little festival for anything. In fact, we went ahead and rebooked our hotel right at check-out. Just like last year, we headed off to Kiel on Friday, where festival boss man Robert had sorted out a dinner reservation for the evening. “Easter with the family you choose” - that could easily sum up the vibe of this enchanting weekend by the sea.
