Deine Lakaien

DEINE LAKAIEN, often just called colloquially “Die Lakaien”, were founded in 1985 by Alexander Veljanov (vocals) and Ernst Horn (instruments). Until today they have remained one of the most important and well-known Dark Wave bands and have a big international fan community. Both band members are responsible for the writing of the texts, which often deal with love and loss. Their new double album ‘Dual/Dual+’ came out in 2021 and contains cover versions of different artists as well as their own creations.

Levellers - “Increasing The Peace Europe” 2022 - Support: Nick Parker And The False Alarms

“Increasing The Peace” ... The world needs the LEVELLERS. More than ever. So, it was great that the Englishmen are finally back on tour in Europe and also play a few gigs in Germany. From this year on they are playing in a slightly different line-up. Guitarist Simon has not left the band “but he is stepping back from touring due to personal reasons”. As new guitarist and singer Dan Donnelly is now a permanent part of the LEVELLERS.

BadeHaus, a small, cozy venue located in the vicinity of another famous location Urban Spree, offered a shelter to three amazing bands for the night: GOLDEN APES, WISBORG, and TUNES OF DAWN. Each representing a slightly different tone of what might be called Darkwave, Metal, or Goth Rock, they offered a variety to both those fond of more melancholic and punching tones.
