FediCon kicks off tomorrow in Vancouver 💫

And... our co-founder @michael is making the trip across the Atlantic to be there - that's over 7,460 km!

We wouldn't make these trips if we didn't believe in the Open Social Web and how it can be used to better the world.

In particular, Michael is looking forward to meeting all the amazing faces we speak to regularly online in person.

If you're there, say hello!

PERILYMPH / OS SOLAIR

Oetinger Villa Darmstadt, Samstag, 2. August um 20:00 MESZ

Perilymph

Verträumter groovegetriebener Psychedelic aus Berlin

Lässt man sich in die groovig-verspielten Psychedelic-Prog-Epen von Perilymph fallen, fangen einen die eingestreuten retro-futuristischen Synthwände auf wie ein seidenweiches Sprungkissen. Französische Texte flirren durch ein 70er-Jahre-Universum aus traumwandlerischen Melodien, warmen Bassläufen und analogem Charme. Die Band erschafft Klanglandschaften, in denen sich Vergangenheit und Zukunft berühren – irgendwo zwischen Science-Fiction-Soundtrack und Krautrock-Tagtraum. Ideal für Nächte, in denen die Zeit verschwimmt.

Os Solair

Psychedelic, Kraut, Prog aus Darmstadt

Lässt man sich in die weiten, krautig-psychedelischen Klanglandschaften von Os Solair fallen, öffnet sich ein Raum aus schwebenden Gitarrenschleifen, warmem Bass und subtil flirrenden Synthflächen. Das Darmstädter Quartett bewegt sich mit traumwandlerischer Sicherheit zwischen ausufernden Jams und strukturierter Ekstase – irgendwo zwischen 70er-Spirit, Post-Rock-Dynamik und analogem Sci-Fi-Flimmern.

BODY FARM / SLUTBOMB / TAIFUN

Oetinger Villa Darmstadt, Freitag, 19. September um 21:00 MESZ

Kein VVK, nur Abendkasse

 

BODY FARM (Rust Belt, OH/PA, USA)

Body Farm started with the simple goal of trying to play as fast as possible. Their first lineup with members Ocean, Erek, Alex, and Steven met on vocals, guitar, bass, and drums to produce two 7” releases, a split and an EP. Body Farm continued their devoted output and performance schedule, recording demos on lathe cuts and tapes that would become a 12” EP called Living Hell. After touring for Living Hell, Ocean and Erek moved to Pittsburgh, splitting the band’s location with Columbus. With 2023 marking Body Farm’s first show as partial PA residents, 2024 would bring new bassist, Darrell. Vocally, Ocean draws on X-Ray Spex, Plasmatics, and Alice Bag, providing a reverb drenched holler that effectively is their calling card. There is a specificity in Body Farm’s songs that sets them apart from their peers, and you hear it as soon as you press play.
FFO: Dropdead, HIRS, Detestation, Infest

SLUTBOMB (Cincinatti, Ohio, USA)

“For over 40 years, hardcore punk’s devotees have been trying to reimagine, improve upon, and one up the sound first pioneered by the genre’s forebears in the late 70s and early 80s. By the 1990s, hardcore had evolved from a violent reaction to rock’s perceived stagnation into a well-defined form whose breadth, intensity, and speed had well surpassed the blueprint laid by its founders. Cincinnati, OH natives SlutBomb are carrying on in that rich tradition, both nodding at and upping the ante on hardcore punk’s four decades of musical innovation.
Like 90s fastcore stalwarts Los Crudos, Charles Bronson, or European heavyweights Seein’ Red, SlutBomb combines their staunchly leftist politics with breakneck blast beats, incisive lyrics, and just enough mosh parts to keep the blood pumping. Crystal clear, precise guitar leads call to mind the surf-informed stylings of Dead Kennedys, while unrelenting blasts evoke the proto-grindcore of Siege. With eight releases, several US tours, and an Australian tour under their belt since 2017, the band has spent 5 incredibly productive years honing their razor sharp brand of political fastcore.”
