Belgrado + Totenwald // Urban Spree, Berlin

aufnahme + wiedergabe presents: Belgrado (ESP) live [La Vida Es Un Mus] Post Punk www.belgrado.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/belgradopunk Totenwald (GER) live Dark Punk [Bat-Cave Productions / Plastic Bomb] www.thisistotenwald.bandcamp.com aufnahme + wiedergabe DJs Six years has passed since BELGRADO last album and the Barcelona-based band is back with their fourth full length. A lot has happened in the band, and they have evolved into a new BELGRADO, with a new line up (Louis Harding from FATAMORGANA takes care of bass duties now) and switched to electronic backing tracks along the way. Mutating into a band with a new sound that manages to keep their trademark sound alive. The new BELGRADO is more ethereal, cold, experimental, bouncy, and extremely addictive. With one boot firmly set in their trademark gelid post punk, they dance with the other between minimal wave, dub and even Italo Disco. Finding their own terrain inside an imaginary planet where TURQUOISE DAYS, PALE COCOON, FAMILY, KUKL, KING TUBBY, SIEKIERA, and NEW ORDER reign supreme. Amongst the smoke-filled basements of the Berlin underground lurks the dark punk quartet TOTENWALD. Existing as an anomaly in their scene since 2014; they are more inspired by the early 80s roots of Berlin’s anarcho punk and Neue Deutsche Welle sound rather than more typical punk or hardcore tropes. Their unique, signature style is as eclectic as the band members themselves: a hurricane of new wave glitz, chorus-drenched post-punk melodies, and piercing saxophone solos, all under the sway and allure of Trish’s frenetic, echoing tales of resistance to an impending dystopian future.
