THE KIDS + DAS KINN (D) + DIE ANSTALT (D) + ESCAPE ISM (US) + THE JOHNNY'S GANG

After making their mark on the underground music scene with their EP Rat Race, DIE ANSTALT have just released their first album and are promoting it on live stages across Europe.

The trio, formed in Berlin in 2023, offers an explosive mix inspired by NDW, early 80s EBM, synth wave/punk and 60s surf guitar. There is no doubt, their explosive live performance will captivate you!

A brash and rebellious dandy, a fixture of the Washington punk rock scene for three decades, Ian Svenonius has always infused his projects (The Make-Up, Chain and the Gang, Nation of Ulysses…) with a sparkling and profound charm, imbuing them with his critique of traditional rock 'n' roll bands and his anti-authoritarian leanings. Escape-ism is his latest project, begun as a solo endeavor and now continued as a duo with director and musician Alexandra Cabral. Escape-ism conjures up a minimalist post-punk sound, strongly evocative of the specters of Suicide or the languid Jonathan Richman.

Starting in 2026, The Kids will celebrate half a century of punk in what they themselves call their "Bloody Belgium." Singer and frontman Ludo Mariman discovered in this musical genre an ideal form of expression, building a body of work comprising five studio albums and one live album. He probably never imagined that he would one day share the stage with legendary bands such as the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, or New York Dolls at the Lokerse Feesten. But The Kids have nothing to envy them for. Their self-titled album, THE KIDS (1978), left an indelible mark on the history of punk, both in Belgium and abroad.

Since then, the group has never stopped being active. Name any venue in Belgium, and The Kids have undoubtedly performed there. Since 2008, they have also embarked on numerous international tours, which have taken them to the United States, Mexico, Japan, Turkey, and throughout Western Europe.

Even today, the group's DNA remains unchanged. As Guy Mortier once wrote in Humo: "The Kids play punk as it should be: lively and fast, enthusiastic and biting, with excellent unpretentious compositions."

Like a haunting back-and-forth between relaxation and tension, post-punk and krautrock, electro and art-rock, major and minor modulations, it alternates between hiccups and singing while rebelling against the vulgarity of the ephemeral. Dance music first and foremost – for clubs, living rooms, or basements – DAS KINN is a well-kept secret of the European underground that shouldn't be long in igniting bigger stages. Co-manager of the Frankfurt-based label MMODEMM and member of the performance duo Les Trucs, Toben Piel creates with his solo project DAS KINN music that seems to reconcile opposites, amalgamating punk, new wave, house music, arty rock, and absurdist humor.

“DAS KINN has a penchant for sharp angles and incisiveness. The rhythm is militaristic, the riffs dry, the chords often hammered, the means limited, the driving force delirious.” Marie Klock for Libération

Johnny's gang is back in town. For young punks and old punks alike, the gang has something to satisfy every generation of punks!
