Preview: the week ahead (22nd - 28th Jul)

We're sure you've all heard about the terrible news concerning Festsaal Kreuzberg until now and we really hope they manage to get over this somehow. Otherwise this is a really slow week and the Berlin Atonal festival taking place at Kraftwerk is probably its highlight.


Tuesday
Thee Oh Sees, Die! Die! Die!, and Zentralheizung Of Death Des Todes at Lido.: Due to the fire at Festsaal Kreuzberg this show will take place at another venue, we'll update the calendar and this post when there are any news Lido. Besides that, all these bands have been to Berlin more than once and have also been on this blog before. If you're into loud psych-garage punk tunes, this is the show to be at, no doubt about it!

Thursday
Ten Volt Shock and Display at Schokoladen: Ten Volt Shock play very cool and dry rhythmic noise rock with a hint of post punk. They've been around like forever and they're still fun to watch. Display from Berlin just finished their first recordings, they play something between post-hardcore and melodic punkrock.

Thursday - Wednesday (next week): Berlin Atonal Festival: After a 23 year pause, Berlin Atonal returns and brings you "6 days of world-class musical events and large scale audio-visual installations as well as streetfood and a full catalogue of seminars, lectures, master-classes and screenings". Our highlight is the Glenn Branca Ensemble gig on Thursday. Check out the festivals website for the whole concert timetable and all the day program events and installations.
