Already released in his homeland, HOTEI now internationally releases his debut album “Strangers” featuring collaborations with the legendary Iggy Pop, Richard Z. Kruspe from European rock gods Emigrate/ Rammstein, Matt Tuck from British rock band Bullet For My Valentine, Noko from electronic music pioneers Apollo 440 and acclaimed Texas singer Shea Seger.

Hotei comments, “When I was a teenager I was going to the record shops to buy everything I could by The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin… I soon realised that almost all of it was British. With idols like David Bowie and T-Rex, I’ve always felt a strong connection to the UK and now that I am living in London, ‘Strangers’ allows me to take a step out of this new and relatively anonymous space to introduce myself. A stranger to many, remembering the days when I was young and just starting out, playing gigs to a room of only 20 people, I want to connect with people individually and let them understand me through my music.”

Flunkyball in the evening, canned ravioli in the morning, dancing in front of the Green Stage, our music requests at CampFM, barbecuing with the camp neighbours, and our bungee jump – remember?

Bad Religion

More than 35 years of Punk Rock - BAD RELIGION are one of the most influential bands in this genre. Since their foundation in 1980, they left a heavy imprint on this musical style. With the album ‘True North’, released beginning of 2013 and being as successful as its predecessors, BAD RELIGION have shown once again that they still do for what they are known. Mostly short, melodic and pithy songs which are more than a simple "Punk Rock Song". Time, then, to come over to Europe again to play some new songs besides classics that have certainly influenced many bands.

Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld

They are back! Three years after the debut ‘Still Smiling’, TEHO TEARDO & BLIXA BARGELD release their new album ‘Nerissimo’, showing once more the ling-time artistic and personal relationship. The artwork for the album was inspired by the painting “Die Gesandten”, created in 1533 by Hans Holbein the younger. The topics of the painting – philosophy, religion, mortality and illusion – are also included in the album ‘Nerissimo’, being the Italian superlative for black. And that’s what the album is, totally dark, but offering many musical colours and possibilities.
