Am Mittwoch des 22. Mai findet am frühen Abend im Kreuzberger Wrangelkiez ein Doppelkonzert statt. Zu sehen sind einmal das britische Postpunk-Trio Nape Neck, im Begleittext beschrieben als “simultaneously tangled and taut, danceable and destructed, all while resisting any attempts to be easily situated as the latest addition to a specific geographic and genre-based continuum [...]“, ferner “Nape Neck’s knotted rhythms and the intersecting/overlapping vocal shouts from all three band members bring to mind Scissor Girls or Erase Errata, who also drew inspiration from the spiky tension of first wave UK post-punk and translated it through the more wild and free tendencies of DNA-descended downtown art-noise.
Clipped morse code rhythms and sharply punctuated lyrical declarations join forces with delirious, snaking guitar and duelling vocals which push against steady bass throb and stark, calculated beats as Nape Neck walks the tightrope between chaos and calm”. Ebenfalls tritt das polnische Punk’n'No Wave-Outfit Atol Atol Atol zu sehen. Grzegorz Tyszkiewicz schrieb zu ihrem Debüt im Bocian Records Blog “The End of the Thousand Island Sauce is, on the one hand, a frenetic pulse that takes you back to the New York of the 70s and 80s and bands combining punk rock pedigree with dub, funk and disco influences. (…) Atol Atol buzzes with ideas and hits you over the head with twists and turns.”
