BLACK DOLDRUMS + DAS GÜNTHER

Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a contemporary form of gothic post-punk, with songs that contain hook and lead tribal drums and euphoric guitar textures that frame introspective lyrics. They are known for their intense live performances, creating their own style of dark post-punk driven by vicious drums, distinctive atmospheric guitar and melodic bass.

After the success of their debut album ‘Dead Awake’ on Fuzz Club Records in 2022 and gaining critical acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling Stone and Sonic Seducer, the band released their follow up second album ‘In Limerence’ in October 2024. Described by Louder Than War as ‘ lush yet glacial soundscapes, ramping up with bursts of energy before dispersing and cascading into an ethereal depth” ‘In Limerence’ is proving to be the album that pushes Black Doldrums further into the depths of their atmospheric post-punk.

“A mix of gothic-rock and shoegaze sounds to die for” Rolling Stone

“A fierce combination of post-punk, reverb, drone and melody” Uncut

“Awe -inspiring…Black Doldrums create transient and euphoric dark post-punk” Louder Than War

DAS GÜNTHER: Zwischen Pailletten und Protest, zwischen Tanzfläche und Theater liefert DasGünther aus Hannover eine Bühnenshow, die alles infrage stellt – auch sichselbst. Mit Schlagzeug, Bass und synthetischen Sounds crashen sie Clubs,Festivals und Off-Spaces – zerlegen die Wohlfühlfassaden derSpätkapitalismus-Party und sezieren patriarchale Denkmuster. GesangsorganAlex schlüpft in Rollen, die dem Wahnsinn unserer Gegenwart den Spiegelvorhalten. Improvisiert, impulsiv und immer einen Witz vor dem Wahnsinnentfernt, zündet das Trio ein anarchisches Spektakel, das irgendwo zwischenKraftwerk und Karneval, zwischen Clown und Diva, in einem Technokelleroszilliert.
